Five Reasons to Love Imperfect Love
June 13, 2023
Happy Release Day!
I know a lot of people have been waiting for Avery’s book since they read her in Last Love. Music always plays a part in my writing, as every book has its own soundtrack, but this one is particularly important. Avery is a Swiftie and so Taylor Swift songs play a big part of this soundtrack. Make sure you check out TikTok and Instagram reels this week as I feature some of the songs that inspired me.
A little note about the Juniper Spring series. While writing the book, I realized that Becca’s book, which was planned for Forever Love, will work better in a series about her entire family, meaning her three stepbrothers. Because of that, Imperfect Love is the end of this particular series, but not the Camos and Cupcakes World.
- It’s Juniper Springs. Creating an entire town or world is one of my favorite things to do. It plays into my Machiavellian soul.
- More of Estella Howard. I always thought that I left Estella in a bad place at the end of Love to Hate You. She and Nancy came to an understanding, but I wanted more time with her so that people could understand her a little more.
- Avery being a cat lady. First, just an FYI, I have always been a dog person. Mainly because my mom was super allergic to them.
- Avery Freaking O’Bryan…and Jon Howard. Don’t get me wrong. I love me some Avery, but the two of them together made my heart melt. There is nothing like finding two characters who complete each other so perfectly.
- THE MUSIC. I wanted to have lyric quotes for each chapter, but copyright laws forbid that. But there is a lot of Taylor’s music that inspired the book. If you aren’t a Swiftie, don’t worry, you will still enjoy the book.
