Such insightful and warm conversation about the stories both @WHusseyAuthor and @amarasagewrites wrote, and the stories they’ve both lived. It was brilliant to see so many engaged teen faces in the audience - thank you for writing these important books!

@Schoolbookclubs @jeffreykboakye @FaberBooks Thank you so much for having me join in the #SecondaryBookChat - it was so lovely getting to explore Influential’s themes and characters again!✨

[amara✨ @amarasagewrites]

@ryan_lynch1295 @Schoolbookclubs Here for the Hev love🧡🧡🧡!!

[amara✨ @amarasagewrites]

@TeachEnglishLit @BookTalkCIC @Schoolbookclubs Thank you so much, Almond’s dad, Joe, will always have a place in my heart. And Honey, of course! I wanted their flat to feel like home to Almond in comparison to the ‘set’ of the house she lived in with her mum, with everything being too perfect #SecondaryBookChat

[amara✨ @amarasagewrites]

@BookTalkCIC @Schoolbookclubs I’m certain of it. I won’t name and shame but I’ve witnessed a family go through public shaming, cancellations, and relationship breakdown, with audiences discussing and ‘reacting’ to everything, there’s no doubt it will have psychologically affected them #SecondaryBookChat

[amara✨ @amarasagewrites]

@Schoolbookclubs Hehe… I’m working on my second YA novel, dissecting the damage diet culture has on dating and self-relationship. Saffron, who struggles with restrictive eating and slimming club shame, plays the dating game the only way she knows how to win, by lying. #SecondaryBookChat
