If you enjoy teen contemporary romance with a strong willed British girl, you won't be able to put this novella down. Buy now to be immersed in the world of six teens living a less than savoury life in London. *This book was previously published under the title Choice! for a short while. Interview with the Author Q: What inspired you to write this novella? A: My life. Most writers put a part of their experiences in their work. There are particular situations that Nat goes through that come from personal experience. I wouldn't say it's exactly biographical because Nat isn't who I was as a teen, but let's just say I know what she's been through. Q: So is the character, Natalie, similar to you in any way? A: Her confidence, even though fake, is much stronger than mine ever was. I wouldn't say boo to a goose, to use a British saying, which means that I was very quiet and withdrawn, suffering in silence, shall we say? Nat's strength is fake, a front she puts on to cope with her mothers illness. Q: Would you be happy to tell us what part of the book is a personal experience? A: Yes, of course. Most of the book has been embellished to make it different to my life but the main experience I share with Nat is regarding our mothers illness. I had the same experience. Q: Most teens have difficulties to deal with. What advice would you give to the teen version of yourself now? A: To remember that you're doing the best you can. Life will cause you all sorts of emotions, but emotions change. Situations change. You change. So, hang on when it feels awful, because soon enough, change will come.** Views: 39
