Press Release -- What do you think?

Love & Candy
is a Daring “New Adult” Novel that Doesn't Sugar Coat First Love

Another addition to the burgeoning category of “New Adult” novels,
Love & Candy, the debut novel by Elizabeth Famous, pushes the boundaries of
traditional romance with an down and dirty portrayal of a young woman’s first serious relationship.

“I wanted to challenge myself to write a story about a young
woman who takes a huge risk emotionally and physically by having sex on her
first date with a guy she’s infatuated with,” says Elizabeth Famous, “and
somehow she manages to handle what she got herself into, maturing as a person
in the process.”

Unlike YA novels, where the salacious parts of coming of age
are glossed over, “New Adult” novels don’t shy away from addressing issues such
as STIs, bullying, binge drinking, loss of innocence, family drama and sexual harassment.
 Love
& Candy is for readers in their late teens or early twenties but also thirty-
and forty-year-olds who enjoyed Twilight
or Fifty Shades of Grey. 

The e-book and self-publishing revolutions have given life
to the “New Adult” category as new authors offer new choices for readers.

“Perfection is boring,” says Elizabeth Famous , “My heroine
falls for a tormented guy who sleeps around. 
He doesn't say all the right things and he’ll never be prince charming,
but he’s part of our contemporary hook up culture.  He’s irreverent and bold, and pessimistic
about love.” 

Love & Candy
will be available on Amazon.com, as well as other major booksellers, as a
paperback or e-book.  Learn more at www.ElizabethFamous.com where feedback
is welcome.

LOVE AND CANDY by Elizabeth Famous

Samantha
Montclare is not who she thought she was.  Straitlaced and academically
minded, she's knocked to her knees by an unexpected infatuation with the star
of her local soccer team just as she discovers that her biological father is
not the loving dad who raised her but a forbidding Italian aristocrat.  

Within the social
hierarchy of a wealthy suburban high school, Delaney Troy is so superior to a
naive freshman such as Samantha that she can't speak to him without provoking taunts
from his friends.  Her feisty earnestness sucks her into tiffs with
Delaney's girlfriends and makes her a target for bullying.

Delaney is gorgeous,
but much of Samantha's fascination stems from his brazen honesty and bristling
wit.  His air of confidence inspires so powerful an interest he draws her
in without even looking at her.

But how could she
possibly date a guy like Delaney who insists he only wants to hook up -- and
doesn't believe in love?

Will the scandalous
truth about her conception threaten her happy home life?  Must she find a
place in her life for a strange new "father"?
