Kieran’s Comments (group member since Jul 15, 2014)

Kieran’s comments from the Ask Kate Brian, Jen Calonita, and Kieran Scott group.

Hooray for I Was a Non-Blonde Cheerleader! Only true fans have read that book. :) And thanks to all the fans demanding it, it will finally be an e-book by the end of the summer. And you know how much I could still be writing about the She's So Dead to Us characters. When people used to ask me who I'd want to play Jake and Ally in a movie I used to say Colton Haynes and Willa Holland, then Arrow went and coupled them up. Now whenever I watch Arrow I'm like "OH . . . there's Jake and Ally! Just with lots of violence." :)

I saw the trailer for If I Stay in the theater and I almost had to leave. I can't see that movie or I will blubber throughout. In fact, I read that book before my mom died and I don't think I could have gotten through it after.

WAIT! Also, Open Road Summer by Emery Lord. It is the perfect beach read.

Only one? GAH! Okay, I guess I'd say Only Everything, because I think it's funny and romantic and I love True, the main character like I'd love my own daughter if I had a daughter. :) As for other recommendations, I loved Jen's Summer State of Mind and Elizabeth Eulberg's Better Off Friends. I also recently got really into Gayle Forman's Just One Day/Just One Year/Just One Night. OMG, LOVE! And because I'm a rule-breaker I'll also recommend my own She's So Dead to Us, because I miss the characters so much. :)

Hi Emily,
I LOVE THIS QUESTION! She had a boy. I don't know why, unless it's just because I have two boys, but there was never any doubt in my mind that she had a boy. Thanks for asking!

Hi Briahna,
I listen to pop. I have always been a top-40 geek, so basically, whatever is popular is on my iTunes. Right now I have a playlist that includes Justin Timberlake, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, Demi Lovato . . . and I listen to it over and over. Occasionally, I sneak some country or alternative onto my lists. Thanks for the question!

Hi Emma! Thanks so much! I'm glad you like the series. I actually miss it! Each book had parts that I really loved to write. I liked creating the world in She's So Dead to Us and dealing with the conflicting emotions in This is So Not Happening, but my favorite to write was He's So Not Worth It. I liked exploring the new characters down the shore, and seeing Ally and Hammond dealing with their awkward past. Making Hammond and Shannen more human was fun, too. Plus I love LBI (where the book is set). We go there every summer. So it was like a little vacation to write about it in the middle of the winter. Thanks for the question!
