Happy Birthday, Chasing Eveline!
It’s July 11 somewhere in the world right now! And this day marks the one-year anniversary of the release of my YA debut CHASING EVELINE. If you’re not familiar with it, the story follows 16-year-old Ivy’s quest to reunite her mom’s favorite 80s band Chasing Eveline. It’s been an exciting year since its release. I’ve done a book signing at Barnes & Noble, visited schools for author talks, and enjoyed interacting with readers from everywhere! To celebrate this year of fun, I’ve included some of my favorite Chasing Eveline stuff below. And…I’m hosting a giveaway. Read on and enjoy!
Chasing Eveline got a new cover about a month ago! I luuuuurve it!
These are some of my favorite reviews:
Chasing Eveline is a heartwarming Young Adult contemporary novel that will inspire you to chase your wildest dreams despite the obstacles that stand in your way. I could not put down this book so much that I finished it in an entire day, which only a few novels can accomplish for me. -Kester, LILbooKlovers
I really enjoyed ‘Chasing Eveline’. It was a really endearing story that touched on the important topics of single parenthood, true friendship, and perseverance. – YA Books Central
WOW, you all, my 1980s loving-heart is fully in love with this book. Chasing Eveline may take place in our world of skyping and cellphones, but this book definitely has all the best elements of a 1980s movie: teen melodrama, an underdog theme, great music, and a feel-good ending. This coming-of-age story will definitely fill your soul with nostalgia, warm fuzzies, and the appreciation of great music. – Cassie @ Rants and Raves of a Bibliophile
Ivy is a beautifully written character. She’s realistic, true and refreshing. The relationships between characters are authentic and perfectly blaanced. It’s so nice to read a book that is heartfelt and real. When I finished, I missed Ivy and wanted more, more, more. -Kidliterati
