In the aftermath of a music festival, she's stranded at a bus station until morning—the day before she leaves for college. Her phone is dead, she has no cash, and she's convinced nothing good can come of this night…but then she meets Russell. Russell. Cute and nice, funny, and kind. She knows this is the moment—and the guy—she's been waiting for. And they have until sunrise to walk and talk and connect. Over the course of this one fateful night—filled with football field picnics, night swimming, and escape-artist dogs—Darcy and Russell's lives will change forever. They'll discover things they never imagined about each other…and about themselves. But can you really know someone after only a handful of hours? Is it possible to fall in love in just one day? And is it worth saying hello…when you know you're destined for a goodbye?

The final book in her Shatter Me series, IMAGINE ME, hits shelves March 31, 2020. Watch this episode as a video on the First Draft podcast IGTV channel on Instagram! Links and Topics Mentioned In This Episode I mention the previous mailbag episode (check out the podcast version here), which featured Zan Romanoff, author of A Song to Take the World Apart, Grace and the Fever, and the forthcoming Look (listen to her episode of First Draft here). I cite Morgan Matson as my hero for writing lengthy contemporary young adult novels, like the New York Times bestselling The Unexpected Everything and Save the Date (listen to Morgan’s First Draft interviews here and here)! I positively could not keep myself from mentioning The Four Tendencies again, Gretchen Rubin’s metric for analyzing how you (or others in your life) respond to expectations. Seriously, take the quiz already! Maurene Goo used Rilo Kiley lyrics before The Way You Make Me Feel in the epigraph because she got permission from the band A brief primer on how the Walt Disney Company has impacted IP law — though in 2024 that may be up, and Mickey Mouse could be in the public domain for the first time. Tahereh’s husband, Ransom Riggs—New York Times bestselling author of the Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children series (listen to his First Draft episode here - and heads up that the newest book in the series, The Conference of the Birds, is coming out January 14!)—has a very different writing style than she does. A marathon runner, rather than a sprinter. I reference one of the most famous phrases in the entire history of Supreme Court opinions: "I know it when I see it." The phrase appears in Justice Potter Stewart's concurring opinion in Jacobellis v. Ohio, a pornography case decided by the Court in 1964. Room by Emma Donoghue features a child narrator, but is decidedly not a children’s book. When Tahereh wrote Furthermore, she was shocked to learn from her editor that she had actually written a middle grade novel, rather than a young adult novel Suzanne Collins is returning to fiction in the spring with a new Hunger Games novel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green brought on a surge of contemporary YA fiction Microsoft Word, Scrivener, and Highland 2 are all great options for writing software   I want to hear from you!

Reynolds (debut author of The Opposite of Always; and Sarah Enni, author of Tell Me Everything) both agreed on this First Draft LIVE from YA-Hoo Fest episode that they don’t know if a book is going to be a book until they’re written 40,000 words I turned off my brain and enjoyed RuPaul’s Drag Race Zan is obsessed with Apple TV’s new series, Dickinson I want to watch it because I approve of the way John Mulaney rips on Henry David Thoreau The way Zan feels about Dickinson is the way I felt about Booksmart, which is the same spot that was tickled by The O.C.

Nielsen (chosen by Meg) Kassiah's book: Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff (chosen by Jaime) Jaime's book: Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson (chosen by Kassiah) Meg's book: Furyborn by Claire Legrand (chosen by Erin) Then we reveal September's Assigned Reading: Jaime's homework: Ramona Blue by Julie Murphy (chosen by Meg) Meg's homework: The Cerulean by Amy Ewing (chosen by Kassiah) Kassiah's homework: Plus One by Elizabeth Fama (chosen by Erin) Erin's homework: 738 Days by Stacey Kade (chosen by Jaime)  

First Draft Episode #213: Renee Ahdieh Renee Ahdieh, New York Times bestselling author of The Wrath and the Dawn, The Rose and the Dagger, the Flame in the Mist duology, talks about her latest series, which kicks off with The Beautiful, out October 8. This episode was brought to you by Freedom — upgrade to Premium and use code FIRSTDRAFT for 40% off a yearly or Forever plan! Links and Topics Mentioned In This Episode Renee says The Flame in the Mist contains nods to Disney’s Mulan and the classic marital arts film 47 Ronin When it comes to pitching books by Sabaa Tahir (listen to her First Draft interview here), Traci Chee, or Sarah Nicole Lemon (listen to her First Draft interview here), Renee has you covered. Not so much, she says, when it comes to pitching her own books. Though Renee loves physically strong female heroes like Katniss, from Susanne Collins’ The Hunger Games, she says the hero of the Flame in the Mist series has “strength of the heart.” The Beautiful series is an homage to Anne Rice’s seminal Interview with the Vampire series (omigod don’t miss the movie version, optimistically titled Interview With the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles, starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt). She read The Queen of the Damned first. Renee loves Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, too. Each book in The Beautiful’s four-part series will have a different main character, but they will all take place in the same world. Renee borrowed this narrative structure from the world of regency romance novels; in particular, Renee cites Sabrina Jeffries’ Hellions of Halstead Hall series as an inspiration. I came across this in getting recommendations from Bea and Leah Koch, who run The Ripped Bodice bookstore in Culver City, Calif. (listen to their First Draft interview here)! Renee loves mysteries, like the TV series Columbo and Agatha Christie’s Poirot In addition to Anne Rice’s many vampires novels and Twilight, Renee was also inspired by Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse books (which were adapted into the True Blood HBO show) (and I recommended fellow YA author Morgan Matson watch the series - hear me and Morgan chat in her First Draft interviews here and here!). Renee says almost every book series she loves is a version of Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare or The Count of Monte Christo by Alexandre Duma, and she’s also obsessed with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Renee and I gush over Mirage by Somaiya Daud, but I have a bone to pick with her vis a vis robots Google is funding efforts to delay or end death! Science is trying to restore activity to a deceased brain! Dogs and cats are being cloned (Barbara Streisand did it)! Life is wild! Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author of the Strange the Dreamer series and the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy, gave incredible worldbuilding advice on her episode of First Draft!

First Draft Episode #208: Mary H. K. Choi Mary H. K. Choi, New York Times bestselling author of Emergency Contact, and host of podcasts Hey, Cool Job and Hey, Cool Life!. Her newest YA contemporary book, Permanent Record, is out now! We talk about addiction and fiction, loving and writing boys who fight against toxic masculinity, and fighting against “I’ll be perfect when…” thoughts. Links and Topics Mentioned In This Episode Stephen King, John Grisham, and airport novels were some of the first things Mary picked up when she moved to Texas and became a reader Mary compares moving, learning to read, and realizing she could *remember* what she read as Bradley Cooper discovering the mind-expanding possibilities in Limitless (movie) Mass Appeal was the graffiti magazine Mary went to work for, and they now do documentaries, including the recent Wu-Tang doc, Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men (tv series) “Like. Flirt. Ghost: A Journey Into the Social Media Lives of Teens,” an article Mary wrote for WIRED, is fantastic and everyone should read it Hold the door open for other writers. Be like Hodor “Mary H. K. Choi Wanted to Write a Book Where ‘High-Key Nothing Happens,” by Joanna Mikas and Tracy Ma for The New York Times Bo Burnam, comedian and writer and director of Eighth Grade (movie) Shanna the She-Devil (comic book) and Lady Deadpool (comic book) Mary wrote D.

However, Morgan Matson’s editor is actually Justin Chanda, also at Simon & Schuster (listen to Morgan’s First Draft episodes here and here)! “I love my mom a not-normal amount and it makes me crazy,” an article Mary wrote for Aeon about her mom which went viral The Joaquin Phoenix movie, Her, is akin to how Mary felt exploring the idea of falling in love over text Mary references Justin Bieber’s first appearance on The Ellen Show. Watch it and be transported to a time when he was a mere bb There are some similarities between Permanent Record and the Hugh Grant/Julia Roberts film Notting Hill, which is a classic Mary and I are now both obsessed with Brené Brown, author of Daring Greatly and The Gifts of Imperfection The New York slang that Mary uses in the book is a love letter to Desus & Mero (who went from YouTube channel to their podcast, Bodega Boys, to a VICE and now a Showtime TV show) and Mary’s friends who run the podcast Chillin Island Maslov’s Hierarchy of Needs is awesome but it does not include mental health Mary is a part of Overeaters Anonymous Holly Black talked to me in her episode (listen here) about the depressive state she fell into after publishing her first book I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

This episode we're discussing our YA book of the month, Save the Date by Morgan Matson. This is the cute story of a big family, + a wedding where anything and everything can go wrong.

It gave Becca big family envy and made Grace think about the nice boys she dated in high school. Oh, to be young! Join us next week for advice, and in two weeks for our "adult" pick: Charlotte Walsh Likes To Win - we both really loved this book and can't wait to chat about it.   Can't get enough Bad On Paper?

This episode we're discussing our "adult" book of the month, Ghosted by Rosie Walsh. Sarah and Eddie fall in love, and then he bails. But what really happens? Turns out they both have some pretty big secrets. There are a few twists in this one (which we didn't see coming), and it inspired us to talk a little bit about dating in New York (it's a battlefield). We both share our best (worst?) stories of being ghosted. We recorded this episode while on vacation in Morocco.

This episode is sponsored by Bluestone and Vine by Donna Kauffman and The Beginning of Everything by Andrea J. Buchanan.   Questions   1. Hello, friends! My fourteen year old niece is going to be a senator one day and this July her other aunt and I are taking her on a road trip to eight New England universities including most of the Ivy Leagues. I am a folklorist and Other Aunt is an architectural historian, so together we are definitely into the old, the spooky, the magical, and the historical. We want to show her the coolest, weirdest, most inspired time ever. So far we have gotten The Wordy Shipmates by Sarah Vowell and would like to find more books that are in that vein -- entertaining and engaging and relevant to what we are road tripping through. Books about or by women and/or people of color are a gigantic plus. Some of the cities we'll be visiting include Boston, Salem, Plymouth, Providence, Portland, and Hanover. Thank you sooooo much! Looking forward to your recommendations! --Erin   2. I am traveling to the US for the first time (Brazilian girl, here) and I will be going to Atlanta for a work event. I don't know much about the city and would like some reading recommendations to get to know a little bit about it. If you can recommend some contemporary fiction - I looove walking through a city and finding places from books - that would be great. Since I have a History degree, I am totally down for history books as well. I am not the biggest fan of historical romances but I am glad to read them if they can help understand the place a little more. Thank you in advance. I really love the show and love getting my to-read list as immense as possible. Congratulations on doing a lovely podcast :) All the best, --Marília   3. Hello lovely ladies! It would be great if we could get some recommendations before June, but we understand you get a lot of requests so no worries if it's late. My book club reads two books with the same basic premise and compares how each author played with the concept. Past books include We All Looked Up & The Age of Miracles (coming of age in the apocalypse) and Annihilation & The Vorrh (mysterious forest changes you if you enter). We are currently reading a trio of portal fantasy with Every Heart a Doorway, The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, and Coraline. We are looking for suggestions for our next pair of books. You can get as creative as you want; we're open to anything. Bonus points for books with queer characters and nothing too depressing, please. Thanks and happy reading!! Dual Wielding Book Club --Lana   4. Hello! I am a fairly new listener to your show and love it, keep up the great work. So, I have had a hell of a year. My husband was diagnosed with cancer in January and passed away in April. My mother was diagnosed with Dementia in February. To say my life has been turned upside down is an understatement. I have always been an avid reader. I can read anything and usually do close to 100 a year. But, since all of this I only seem to be able to read books about death and dementia. I don't care if it is fiction or not, in fact I would like to bring some fiction into it as I have been leaning on Non-fiction so far. But they give me comfort. Since my husband passed I have started and put down about 30 books. The only 3 I have been able to read, and loved were: Being Mortal by Atul Gawande The Best of Us by Joyce Maynard The 36 Hour Day by Nancy L Mace I want more. As I said, fiction is fine too. Just being able to relate to the story is comforting right now. I love to read and have been so frustrated. I thought I could read some brain candy to help me escape, but I haven't been able to. So, acknowledging that I need to read this very specific niche, I thought I would pass it to you ladies for ideas. Thank you! --Andrea   5. Hi Amanda and Jenn, I have listened to you from day 1 and enjoy your podcast a lot. I wrote once before but it was roughly 120 podcasts ago so I think I might be cleared to ask again. Our immigration policy is clearly a long standing human rights violation and I hate it but I also feel really uninformed on what might be better so I'm looking for books. There are countries many of these asylum seekers are from (Honduras and El Salvador are referenced a lot) and I vaguely know the US has interfered in Central/Latin American countries over the years. My working assumption is we have contributed to the socio-economic issues but I'd like to be more informed on the history and what might be done to better stabilize the region. Additionally I'd like to read about how we as a country could have a more open and humane immigration system that didn't cage families and add to their trauma. I've tried some googling but it isn't working and while I'd love to go around tweeting at smart people asking them to help me that might be rude. Thanks! --Katie   6. I'm looking for a book club pick! To start, book club rules say that it should be by a woman with a female POV/focus. I recently turned 25 and am having a traditional Millennial mid-twenties crisis. I would love to read and discuss a book that talks about that kind of moment in a way that touches on my current struggles (recently quit a job, confused about life direction, romance on the back burner but is that really where I want it to be, am I a real adult yet.......?!?!) but that can also be enjoyed by the women in my book club who are rather past that moment (think age 30 and married with children). Please nothing that is overly goofy or dismissive or disingenuous or preachy. I would prefer something that is not based around only romantic relationship(s) or lack thereof but also isn't just about "single girl making it in the big city." I would like something that might end optimistically but doesn't tie everything up in a perfect neat bow, because life. I'm thinking of something kind of in the vein of The Bell Jar but without the complete mental breakdown. I feel like these parameters lean towards a novel or memoir, but a short story or essay collection would be totally welcome too. We've recently had a lot of success with short story collections in the book club. Am I being way too picky? Sorry! It's only because I don't know exactly what I am looking for and am currently in a major reading slump! Feel free to take some of these requests more lightly and just use your expert judgement. Thank you, thank you! --C   7. Hi! Firstly, I just wanted to say that I recently started listening to the show and I love it! I’m currently trying to make my way through the entire backlog, but I’ve only managed to listen to around 14 episodes so far but I’m determined to listen to them all. Anyway, I’m a big mood reader and now that summer’s here all I want to read is YA contemporary romance set during the season. I recently read Stay Sweet by Siobhan Vivian and loved it, especially due to the feminist themes in the book. Kasie West, Morgan Matson, Jennifer E. Smith, and Maureen Goo are all hit or miss with me and the only contemporary author I’ve consistently enjoyed is Sarah Dessen. Do you have any recommendations for YA contemporary romances with feminist themes? I prefer YA but I’m also willing to try adult if you know of any really good ones. Thank you! --Layla
