There’s a lot of love there, even when they’re bickering with each other. I love the banter between Cassie and Drea. It put me in a more consumer mood.Ħ) Is there a favorite scene that you loved to write while writing, The Mall? The exception was Attention K-Mart Shoppers an incredible online collection of background music from K-Mart stores circa late 80s/early 90s. For THE MALL I only listened to songs from 1991. I like flawed characters who make mistakes and learn from them-it feels more realistic and human.ĥ) Do you write with music playing in the background, or do you prefer silence?Īlways, always music. But as she reconnects with her childhood best friend, Drea, it should become clearer that her behavior stems from a lack of self-confidence. She comes across as entitled, elitist and a bit judgey. She’s not exactly likable when the book begins.
As Cassie says in the book, “The Mall was the center of the universe for bored hordes of suburban teens with limited spending money and unlimited time to waste.” Social media now serves as the hub of connection and self-expression.Ĥ) What character can you relate to the most?ĭefinitely Cassie. I hope it does the same for readers.ģ) Are there things that you miss from the 90’s that are not well known in this current time? Writing a book set in 1991 provided a time-traveling escape from the 24/7 bad news cycle. Publication Date: July 28th, 2020 Publisher: Wednesday Books Links: Amazon/ Book Depository/ Goodreadsġ) What was your inspiration in writing The Mall?

Scrunchies, mixtapes and 90210 are, like, totally fresh. Synopsis: New York Times bestselling author Megan McCafferty returns to her roots with this YA coming of age story set in a New Jersey mall. Thanks to the publisher for having me on the blog tour.
