The then was a very good YA story of first love and the mistakes that are made when fears get in the way. Flashbacks don’t always work for me but I can’t imagine this one being written any other way. I really liked how Melissa wrote this alternating between then and now. Forgiveness isn’t easy but what choice do you have when your forever keeps showing up. Fast forward eleven years and the two find themselves running into each other, literally, at the grocery store. Bethany and Reid fell in love their senior year of high school and thought they would always be together but it wasn’t meant to be.

My other series, Dante Walker, started with a character namely, Dante.ĮB: What surprised you most about the story while you were writing?

Thus, if it was noon where you were when the clock said it was 2 p.m. Since one hour equals 15 degrees of longitude (360 degrees divided by 24 hours), the difference in time would tell you where you were. Then you could observe local noon wherever you were by the sun and compare it to what time it was at that moment in London. Many years of work went into this approach.Ī completely different approach was to have a clock aboard the ship that would tell what time it was where you started-in, say, London.
