Crazy, Stupid Love


How much do I adore the name of this bloghop to celebrate New Adult fiction? Soooo much! Because Crazy & Stupid are the two things I love most about writing New Adult tales. Characters in their late teens/early 20s are allowed to make certain mistakes that just aren’t nearly as cute & lovable when made by someone older. And I do so enjoy it when my characters exercise their right to let their judgment lapse.

The book I’m giving away today is my New Adult novel, Three Daves, which follows university co-ed Jennifer Whitney from age 19 to almost 22. Our girl makes all kinds of mistakes, especially when it comes to boys, but despite her failures, she continues to give romance the ol’ college try---determined to find the elusive “one.”

Did I mention that the story is set in the 1980s?

Thanks Braine & Debbie of Talk Supe for hosting this most excellent hop.
These two lovely ladies had me over this week to reveal a bit about my own New Adulthood.

I entered the giveaway; sounds like a good one! I like books where the characters age, because then I get to see how they evolve, so to speak.
Already have it!
And if you can't be stupid when you're young, when can you be stupid?

I definitely approve the playlist. While I was born int he 80's, I wasn't really old enough to remember the music, though I still appreciate it (after all, my parents always listened to it when I was growing up!

Sounds like a really cute book. How sweet to be young and stupid, looking for "The One!"
Nice playlist! I had most of those songs as a teenager on cassette tape in the late 80's.

The book is cute- bobby socks and pink heels. <3

Hi Nicki: The mix tape is great! I'm a total 80's music girl.

Well said on NA characters being allowed to make mistakes. Some of my Aurora Sky reviewers weren't happy with the choices Aurora made, but many more appreciated how realistic it was. Teens and young 20-somethings don't always make the best choices. That's all there is to it! ;)

I loved Three Daves! I should've included it in my giveaway!
You have Bon Jovi and Tainted Love and Addicted To Love on there so that is the 80's happening already! Love 80's music not so much the clothing style, lol!!

I have a definite soft spot for all things 80s. I love movies like THE WEDDING SINGER 'cause they celebrate the 80s in all its completely awful glory. hehe. THREE DAVEZ sounds like such a fun read!

"Modern Love" always reminds me of my childhood. Love your playlist, and for me highlights are David Bowie, Def Leppard, The Psychedelic Furs and New Order. ;)
