I love reading a wide variety of books because I think all writers can learn lots of things by applying breadth to our reading choices. Having said that, it has been too long since I have immersed myself in YA literature so I am trying to get back to it (despite the fact that the Barnes and Noble I recently visited near my workplace offered less than half the romance and YA selection that my beloved Borders, formerly across the street, used to offer). I need to stock up on recent releases and look forward to a big book shopping trip, if not in a local brick and mortar store then it will be off to Amazon for me. But I digress... That convenient Barnes and Noble had just one book on my list of possibilities, so when I saw Love Story by Jennifer Echols I grabbed it straight away. I had looked forward to reading this new release as I had really enjoyed one of her previous titles, Going Too Far. I write contemporary YA romance, but I was intrigued with the notion of romantic drama, which Jennifer does so well. I liked Love Story and I do recommend it, but it was a different kind of book from GTF.
I look forward to my big shop and getting some more new YA for my TBR shelves, after all, it may be reading but it's still considered "research."
