Lunching with Heather Duffy-Stone's Main Character!
|
|
We're back on our lunch tour today, as part of my "Lunching with the Leads" blog tour. Today I'm lunching with the main character of Heather Duffy-Stone's YA novel, THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO TELL YOU.
About the Book:
The stories people tell are
always about the things we left behind, and about the things we wish
we could do again. The real story isn't about what you know; it's about
what you wish you knew then. When my brother and my best friend fell
in love—that was the end of everything I knew.
Fraternal twins Nadio and Noelle
share a close connection—and as Noelle's best friend since they were
five, Keeley Shipley fit perfectly into their world. But everything
changes after Keeley spends the summer before junior year at Oxford.
When Keeley returns, Nadio falls in love with her. Noelle, ripped apart
by resentment, sees her as an ungrateful rich girl. But Keeley has a
painful story that she can't tell yet. As Nadio and Keeley hide their
romance, Noelle dives into something of her own—a destructive affair
with an older boy.
Beautifully presented by dual narrators in a haunting stream of memories, this is the deeply moving story of how secrets can consume a friendship—and how love can heal it.
Wow, I can't wait to dig in to this book! I hear food is BIG in THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO TELL YOU. So... let's lunch!
Where are we eating?
That boy over there? Well, I'm intrigued...
What's on the menu?
Lucky, huh? Well, I'm already feeling lucky just eating here. So while I'm waiting for him to come over, let's chat. What do you want to talk about?
Boy, I'd love to hear more, but lunch hour's over already. We have time for a quick dessert. Tell me, how does your main character eat a Reeses?
Me too! Well, good luck to your character, Heather, and good luck to you. I know your book will be a great success!
