Each character is well rounded and fleshed out, and readers found themselves thinking they knew people like these characters. Eliza: Yes, that’s a big difference between Canada and the US and you have a good point about the authors. I didn’t think of it but you are right. Elle Kennedy is Canadian too I believe. Sarina Bowen is not, but she does live in New England which is cold and also very white.

I gather that you got your start in fan fiction and/or on Wattpad and there’s a sense here of that feels-based episodic story common to those platforms.Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know! Janine: Sarina Bowen’s Gravity trilogy has a skier and several snowboarders. Miranda Kenneally’s YA books feature characters involved in all sorts of sports – football, softball, distance running, horse racing – though most are not at an elite level. I’m not a mission, nor am I looking to be the next girl pictured in the news getting down and dirty with Captain Syphilis over there.”

Right.” I honestly couldn’t feel more dense right now. How is it that I need to have this explained to me at twenty-seven? Either way, I’m thankful for his warning, because the second we sit, a girl throws herself in my lap. DiscoDollyDeb: That’s an excellent point and probably true as well; since the population of the US is bigger than that of Canada, American readership probably is too. However I think that as with many things, there is more than one factor at work here. Nash Richards was my first everything. First boyfriend, first time, first love. First heartbreak, too. My mom always told me that these things don’t come easily, that you have to work for the love and the life you want. The hard parts are challenging, but we get through them, and everything else with you feels natural, and I… I want to work with you. I want to build a life we love.”Rose: Regarding the Miranda Keneally books, I don’t think of YA novels as romances, even when the romance is what the plot centers on. The primary focus of YA thematically speaking is coming of age rather than finding true love. That makes the priorities of the authors different. The desirability of a central male character doesn’t always have to be stressed to the same degree in a YA (it’s not always a big part of what the reader will zero in on), and even when it does, it’s usually not framed in a “marriage material” / “eligible bachelor” way, so how popular a sport played by a main character who is also an athlete is, or how much money that character earns from their sporting career is isn’t as crucial either, unless that’s a primary focus of the plot. I’m gonna love you the way you deserve to be loved every single day for the rest of your life and my life. I promise.” That’s good, ’cause I love you in a million different ways, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life showing you how.”

Growing up, her ambition was to be able to create a dream world for readers to slip on into, a place to fall in love and escape, much like the ones that she had enjoyed getting lost in herself. Personally I’d like something more obscure, like archery or open-water swimming or Nordic combined. I’ve made so many mistakes in my life. So many. But you, Ollie? You’re the first thing I’ve done right.”
