Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Molly Morris!
Writes:
YA fiction that’s one part romance, two parts weird. The characters in my latest novel REWIND TO US include a 17-year-old whose secret magical ability is the power to rewind the past just once in her life, and her secret crush/best friend with whom she’s lost her chance at love (a fact made apparent when she sees him kissing…someone else).
About:
I’m a California native with a penchant for the bizarre. A lover of all things silly and strange, I write YA fiction that’s heavy on romance, friendship, family dynamics, and pop culture, all in worlds that contain secret little pockets of magic. My interests include Motown music, true crime documentaries, pretending my obsession with needlecraft makes me “fun” and not lame, and relentlessly quoting The Office.
My ideal reader match for REWIND TO US will have:
- A bone-dry sense of humour
- A soft spot for a friends-to-lovers story
- Prior knowledge of video rental culture
- No time for boring families
- A desire to visit movie-themed bowling alleys
- A love of quirky small towns
- A list of favourite films they could recite by heart
- The attitude that magic doesn’t like…not exist
What to expect if we’re compatible:
- Twists, twists, and more twists
- Awkward romances full of cute tension and snark
- Too many movie references
- Lovable families that’ll make you want to scream
- Awesome décor that includes a mini replica of New York City
- Colourful side characters you’ll wish were your BFF
- A little sprinkle of magic
Again, But Better meets Maybe in Another Life in this love story with a magical twist!
Dixie Mulligan only has one plan for her annual California vacation this summer – to tell her best friend Sawyer that she’s in love with him.
It doesn’t matter that things between them technically fell apart over spring break, and they haven’t spoken since – until Dixie arrives and realizes Sawyer has moved on (a fact made very apparent when she sees him kissing, um, someone else).
Luckily, Dixie and her family have each been gifted with a Rewind. All Dixie has to do is go back and redo the moment she thinks doomed hers and Sawyer’s relationship before it even began.
But when family secrets start pouring out, Dixie’s not so sure even her Rewind will be enough to save what she and Sawyer had. Is the damage already done, or can she turn back the clock and give them one more chance?
