What makes every moment worthwhile?

November 30, 2011

THIS does. An in-depth review from the great review site, Bookishly Attentive, which does contain the odd spoiler but it’s safe to quote the opening. 🙂

‘With a Phillipa Ashley novel, you know just what you’re getting before you open the book to the first page. There are fascinating locales, endearing protagonists, quirky secondary characters, an amazing love story and a gloriously happy ending. Carrie Goes Off The Map follows this trail perfectly.’

There are few things so satisfying as when a reader really ‘gets’ your book and characters – it’s then you really do feel that every moment spent agonising was worth while.

I loved writing Carrie Goes off the Map but I probably spent longer working on it, on the character development, the slow, delicious burn of the romance than on any other book. I wanted to make Carrie and Matt as real as possible while still giving readers an entertaining book. I hope you like it – it’s out tomorrow in print and e-book everywhere in the USA or worldwide from Book Depository.

Back here tomorrow for a launch party

PS It was called It Should Have Been Me in the UK – if you’ve read it, would love to know your thoughts on the title.
