Trying something new... {LGI BOOK CLUB}
As I work on Green Island #2, I'm realizing that I wish I had more feedback from readers on certain aspects of Leaving Green Island... LGI was my first novel, and I want to be sure that I am growing and improving as a novelist based on readers' responses to this book :)
While the reviews that have been posted on Goodreads and Amazon are helpful, they don't always dig into my particular questions about the book. For this reason, I thought I would put together a few blog posts (probably this week and next) where I could reach out to fans of LGI to get your thoughts on certain portions of the plot and facets of the characters. Any feedback that you have to offer would be extremely helpful to me! I'm viewing this kind of as an LGI book club, so feel free to voice any and all opinions you have to offer on the book! I'll include "LGI Book Club" in the blog post title for each of these postings so you can be on the lookout for them, if you want.
Also, I'll randomly select one of the responders to this thread to choose the name of a minor character in Green Island #2!
For anyone who hasn't finished LGI yet, you might want to skip reading these posts since they will contain spoilers.
{LGI BOOK CLUB - Question #1}
** How did you feel about the portion of the book that related to Brecken's struggles at her law firm? Specifically, did the sexual harassment plotline add to or detract from your enjoyment of the book? How about her questioning of law firm culture and her professional trajectory?? **
THANK YOU in advance for your feedback, and happy new year to you all! I hope everyone has a Reed Whalen to kiss at midnight ;)

Ha, this is not getting quite the response I had hoped for, but that's ok :) I'll try another topic this evening or tomorrow and see if it sparks more discussion. In the meantime, if anyone has thoughts on the topic above, I would love love love to hear them. xo em

Is part #2 already out for Kindle's! I loved your book, seriously is was so intense and I was so into-it I read it within 3 days :P Thank you!
And by the way about the question^ I think the struggles in the firm gave it a pretty intense and dramatic sense in her messy life :P but I liked the fact that the whole deal is over with Stan, but maybe she should have a little more of a hard-time with it and give it a bit of more drama with Stan in LGI #2 :)I hope it helps you!
Thank you so much for this feedback, Mary! It means so much to me to hear that you liked the book :) Green Island #2 will be coming out later this year, but I don't know the exact date yet...
