1) New Adult is exploding right now. Why do you think that it’s resonating with readers? I think it’s resonating with readers because it bridges the gap between YA and traditional romance.

Note: The comments are closed for this review. I’d direct you to the Dear Author Book Club pick for May for centralization of comments. Dear Ms. McCarthy: Rory does one thing really well – school.

Dear Ms. McCarthy, When you published the first two Fast Track series books, I was enthralled. I loved the heroes and the intelligent, self sufficient heroines that you wrote.

Dear Ms. McCarthy: I have liked your lighthearted works in the past but I wasn’t at all disturbed that you were exploring a darker side of your writing.

Dear Ms. McCarthy: I thought since yesterday was Thanksgiving, I could get away with not posting today. But then I saw that everyone else in Blogland posted and I can’t be the one to drag us all down even though I ate enough food to feed a village. I hate the holidays. Or rather my(…)
