But while Daphne sees that Greta is someone worth befriending, Sutton's motives are far from pure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTana French meets Donna Tartt in this tense coming of age novella that brings the complexities of love and friendship to light. Fans of Lisa Scottoline's BETRAYED will enjoy the strong female protagonists found in Pryal's novella.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInterview with the Author\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat was your inspiration for the Hollywood Lights series?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eI think we're all fascinated by the people who don't quite fit in to the normal cone of expected human behavior. These are the people who were outcasts in high school, and who maybe were in college, too. They might have had a friend or two, but they struggled to say the right thing, and it showed. They were socially awkward. They were the geek girls. Maybe you wondered what goes on inside their heads. With Greta, I get to show you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe books seem as if they could fall into several genres. How would you categorize them?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eENTANGLEMENT unravels like a mystery yet it focuses on the close relationship between two women, which makes it a love story. The main character, Greta, for all that she is a misfit, is very funny. Part of her humor stems from her intelligence, and part of it stems from her unique way of seeing the world. She finds most people wildly irrational, and she isn't afraid to say so. LOVE \u0026amp; ENTROPY takes us back to Greta and Daphne's college days, so it could be called a new adult novella. And CHASING CHAOS picks up Daphne's story 5 years after ENTANGLEMENT ends, and is women's fiction with a touch more romance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe story focuses on love and friendship, in this case between two twenty something girls. What can you say about their relationship?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything about the girls' familial relationships was broken. These two had no one else until they met each other. It's hard to imagine a friendship like that. I had a friendship like that once, but it's gone now. I wanted to write about how that intensity can keep you alive when it seems like nothing else will, and what it's like to lose it. The betrayal of trust, what's it like to feel betrayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat do you enjoy reading?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI will read any book except ones where the female characters are afterthoughts or non-existent. I love historical romance, urban fantasies, Booker Prize winners, SF (especially by women, and I wish there were more), Tana French (she's her own category), P.D. James (so is she), and of course that great big category called Women's Fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCategories\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWomen's Fiction\u003cp\u003eContemporary Romance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContemporary Fiction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew Adult Romance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA coming of age novella that brings the complexities of love and female friendships to light\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Velvet Morning Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47017871507696,"sku":"9780692446737","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692446737_p0.jpg?v=1763614283","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692446737","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
