My calendar has been trying to convince me that it’s the middle of September already. It tried to fool me on Saturday. Then again on Sunday. I was like, “Nice try, calendar. Last time I checked, it was July.” But today my calendar still insists it’s the middle of September. A more gullible person might start believing it.
Okay. Fine. The autumnal equinox is this Saturday. Summer is ending. But! There’s good news. It’s that time of year again. Advance copies of my new book will be printed soon. And I’ll be sharing the cover with you soon. So this is a good time to tell you that the title of my new book is All I Need.
Here are five things you might want to know about All I Need:
1. It’s coming out in May. The pub date hasn’t been confirmed yet, though. (Update: The pub date is May 21, 2013).
2. The story takes place in the same setting as one of my previous books. As in So Much Closer, you might even recognize a character or two.
3. I believe this to be the most romantic book I’ve written. I was going for an epic love story. Hopefully it is!
4. The main boy character is in college. I’ve been wanting to write about college characters for a long time. Stoked that it finally came together.
5. Most of the important scenes take place at the beach. A fun summer beach read π
So there you have it. Of course I will let you know when we have a final pub date. Please stay tuned for an ARC giveaway the second they come in!
Super SUPER EXCITED! π
YAY! Me, too π
LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS. The title, epic love story, college boy, beaches. YESYESYES.
Woot! I’m so happy you approve, Renee. xoxo
I cannot wait! I have to say though that it will have to go a ways to be more romantic than When It Happensπ
You will have to let me know if it is!
OMG Sooooo excited to read this!!!!!!!!!!! π
You are making me even more stoked!
There can never, ever be enough contemporary YA love stories. So glad you’re adding another one. But MAY? GAH. So far away! π
Agree and agree. I hope this one’s a love story you’ll enjoy!
I am so super excited! I need more epic love stories on my shelf to re-read forever and ever! Can’t wait to read ALL I NEED π
Thank you! β€ β€ β€
Yay, sounds good!
And I keep thinking it is August. I’m all like “yeah, today’s August 17th …” but instead it it September 17th. Lies, calendar! Lies.
Oh, it’s totally August 17! Our calendars must be conspiring against us. Good thing we know the score.
Big, BIG squee over this! Particularly the beach setting. As a beachy girl myself, this one will be a fave, I just know it. π
Your support has been amazing today, Jeanmarie! It always is β€
AWESOME news!!!! So can’t wait to read this!
Sweet! Thanks for your excitement.
Love story? Check. College boy? Check. Beach scenes? Check. Um, I’m pretty sure I already LOVE this book! π
So happy we’re on the same page! I basically just put in all the things I’d want to read in a fun romance. Hopefully you will enjoy it.
I am pre-ordering this as soon as I can! π Your books get more amazing and epic every time you write a new one. Cannot. Wait. Until. May.
β€ β€ β€
Always such a treat that your books come out around my birthday (and yours!). So excited! Even though it’s a whole year away because I’m convinced it’s still June, honestly…
If I wasn’t already living in my new apartment, I’d think it’s still May. Where did the summer GO?
I was having a pretty bad day. Then I read this post.
GAAAAH! I am so excited!
Woot! So happy this was sort of like a sparkly warm fuzzy for you π
I can’t wait to read this! I know it’s going to be amazing. β€ And it comes out in my birth month π
Thanks! My birthday is May Day. It’s fun having my books come out right around the same time. One paperback release was even on my birthday π

So since this story has college aged characters will this be considered New Adult or is it still in the YA genre?
This is still considered YA. The main girl character is in high school. I think that YA will be evolving to include older characters as New Adult/Teen for Adult grows a larger audience. When I was in high school, I would have loved to read about characters in college! My intention is to include older characters in my next few books as well.
Read it. It was SO GOOD!!!
You scored an ARC? So happy you enjoyed it!
