Why did you decide to start the site and what has surprised you most about its growth through the years? Has it been fulfilling to watch as more books with varied, diverse LGBTQ+ characters are published? Everything you’re doing has a tipping point, either internal or external, and either you’re gonna need to pivot or take a break and there’s nothing wrong with either one. Probably that there’s no point at which you’re guaranteed to feel like “Okay, I’ve made it, I can just keep doing this exact thing forever.” I wrote New Adult when I absolutely could not touch YA anymore for a while, and there will definitely come a time I am fully drained of my ability to do anthologies, and so on and so forth. What’s the biggest lesson you’ve taken away from it? But if she’s finally got the guy, why can’t she stop thinking about the girl?ĭahlia, you’ve been publishing for years, with a number of YA books, anthologies, and a New Adult series. Lara has everything she ever wanted: a tight-knit group of friends, a job that borders on cool, and Chase, the boy of her literal dreams. A memory that becomes a confusing, disorienting present when Jasmine herself walks through the front doors of the school to see Lara and Chase chatting it up in front of the lockers. A memory of a confusing, romantic, strangely perfect summer spent with a girl named Jasmine. Maybe…flirting, even? No, wait, he’s definitely flirting, which is pretty much the sum of everything Lara’s wanted out of life.Įxcept she’s haunted by a memory. He’s tall, strong, sweet, a football star, and frankly, stupid hot. Lara’s had eyes for exactly one person throughout her three years of high school: Chase Harding.
Today we’re pleased to welcome Dahlia Adler to the WNDB blog to discuss her YA novel Cool for the Summer, out May 11, 2021!
