Henri and Corinne have been peers for a while, but it’s not until Corinne gets a dog and her mom hires Henri to dog-walk that they start spending more time together, on dog walks and at social events because of, you know, the light blackmail. While the story is mainly about Henri finding his way, his relationship with Corinne also vies for center stage. The twist took me off guard, but I loved that it wasn’t predictable and didn’t lack consequences.
As he struggles to figure out the path ahead, Henri makes a jaw-dropping (literally, for me!) decision that alters the course of the story. Henri’s journey feels authentic, especially when a slip-up in his Columbia interview feels like the end of his dream. For him, the inequalities of the process are stark, especially since he goes to a school where a lot of the students are well-off and Ivy League bound. He’s in the midst of the college admission process, which is full of emotional high and lows.
Henri’s one of those characters who comes across so clearly on the page that I can imagine him walking by, on a crowded NYC street, with an easy smile and a leashed dog. Henri May Be Charming As A Verb, But He’s Not Immune to Mistakes Henri agrees, and what starts off as a little light blackmail soon turns into something more surprising than either of them thought. In exchange for keeping this information to herself, Corinne asks him to help her be a little less “intense,” a word that one of her teachers used to describe her in a letter of recommendation. When her mom hires Henri to walk Corinne’s new dog, Palm Tree, she looks a little further into his business and realizes the fancy company Henri works for is more or less a website of his own creation. While he can charm almost anyone, one of his classmates, Corinne, is seemingly immune. He’s also a trusted dog walker for his wealthy neighbours, and dreams of attending Columbia University in the fall. Henri Haltiwanger is a star debater and a popular student at the prestigious FATE academy in New York City.
