12 days until The Next Together: Advice I’d give my characters

To celebrate the release of my first book, I’m posting a new “Behind the Scenes” exclusive about The Next Together daily until September 3rd. You can find them all here.

Today I’m giving my characters some much needed advice!


Dear Kate,

Stop doing stupid things, you’re hurting Matthew. Everything would be a lot easier if you didn’t always get yourself into contrived plots. Just trust him a bit.

Also, stop saying ‘that’s what she said’ all the time. After three hundred years, you probably need to get some new material.

Yours lovingly,

Lauren

This is so Kate and Matt that it hurts.

Dear Matt,

You can trust Kate.

Maybe. 

It depends.

Yours, worriedly,

Lauren xxx

P.s. Don’t tell Kate, but you’re my favourite.
