Any Boy but You
(North Pole, Minnesota #1) by Julie Hammerle
Publication Date:

Publisher: Entangled: Crush
Elena
Chestnut has been chatting with an anonymous boy late into the night. It’s a
very You’ve Got Mail situation, and she has no idea who he is. He can’t be
Oliver Prince, hot-and-bashful son of the family running the rival sporting
goods store. Their fancy sales strategies are driving Elena’s family out of
business. Elena’s mystery boy has teamed up with her in their latest sales
strategy, an augmented reality game, to help her win the grand-prize plane
tickets. Money’s so tight Elena’s going to miss senior year spring break with
her friends if she can’t win this game.
The
girl Oliver's fallen head-over-heels for online had better not be Elena
Chestnut. She's his angry, vindictive Latin tutor, the daughter of his dad’s
business rival, and the one girl he’d never even think of kissing. She’s
definitely not his online crush, because that girl is funny, sweet, and
perfect.
When
Oliver asks to reveal their names at the Valentine’s Day dance, their IRL
relationship will either ruin what they have online, or they’ll discover just
how thin the line between love and hate really is.

Is there an author past or present
that may have inspired you to write? If yes please tell us who this author is
and how they may have inspired you?
Like most
authors, I’ve always been a big reader, ever since I pulled Pet Sematary off my mom’s nightstand
when I was four J
As far as
the author who inspired me to write, that has to be Maud Hart Lovelace. I’m
honestly not sure if I started writing because of her books or if I was so
drawn to them because I already knew when I started reading them that I wanted
to write. Lovelace’s Betsy-Tacy
series follows a trio of best friends at the beginning of the 20th
century from age four through high school, college, and into adulthood.
The main
character, Betsy Ray (loosely based on the author), knows from an early age
that she wants to be a writer. She writes stories and plays. She takes her
friends on wonderful adventures around their little Minnesota town, Deep
Valley. What I liked about the books when I was a kid was that they were about
a highly imaginative young girl who loved her family and friends. (Oh, and the
romance was super swoony.)
What strikes
me about these books now is how ahead of their time they were. The series is
set in the 1910s and was published in the 1940s, and no one in Betsy’s life—not
her parents, friends, or boyfriend—ever questions her desire to be a writer.
Her career is a huge part of her identity. These are books about a girl (and
then a woman), who is willing to do the work to achieve her dreams.
Maud Hart
Lovelace and Betsy made me believe I could do whatever I set my mind to, namely
write.
