James
Parson has a problem. His military dad is going to yank him out of his
expensive boarding school if James doesn’t prove he’s no longer hooking up,
pulling pranks, and charming his way out of consequences. What better way to
show he’s now responsible than becoming the committed boyfriend of a U.S.
diplomat’s daughter?
Level-headed,
book-smart Edelweiss may have traveled the world thanks to her dad’s job, but
when it comes to friends and boys, she knows exactly nothing. Newly enrolled in
boarding school, Edel is now on a mission to learn it all. James says he’ll
help her experience the ultimate high school life—if she’ll be his fake
girlfriend. And fake is perfect, because he’s exactly the kind of player she’d
never date.

Interview with Lizzy Charles
What inspired you to write It had to be You?
My initial inspiration for It had to be You came from a place and a television show. I’m a die
hard Gilmore Girls’ fan (Team Logan
pre Netflix special and now I’m simply Team Rory) and Rory’s elite high school,
Chilton, always fascinated me. Pairing that with a nearby gorgeous college
that’s nestled in rolling hills, and Brockmore Academy, America’s most elite
(and fictional) boarding school, was born. Once I could visualize the school, I
knew I had to write a boarding school romance.
Of course, a novel needs characters so the idea simmered
in my head while I figured my main characters out. I’m a big fan of Donald
Glover (also known as Childish Gambino) and once I fell in love with his work
on Community I knew he was my James. Edelweiss is a blond version of Rey from The Force Awakens Brave, bold, kind, and
good to her core.
Can you tell us a little bit about the
next books in It had to be You or
what you have planned for the future?
I’m currently plotting the next book in the
series but unfortunately as things stand, my lips have to be sealed. So sorry!
Wish I could tell you more.
Can you tell us a little bit about the
characters in It had to be You?
Sure! I’d love to.
James is contagious, intelligent, and has a long history
with not only the girls at Brockmore Academy, but also neighbouring schools. He
is captain of the football team but also has time to submit short pieces of
literature to literary blogs and publications.
Edelweiss, a homeschooled diplomat’s daughter, enters
Brockmore with zero history of attending traditional school, which is exactly
why she’s there. She’s organized, with a to-do list of experiences she must
have before she goes off to college. Unfortunately, no one prepared her for
high school, and she’s forced to turn to James, the only guy she was told to avoid,
for help.
You know I think we all have a favorite
author. Who is your favorite author and why?
My hands down favourite author is J.K. Rowling, which seems a little obvious
but she honestly transports me like no one else. Lately though I’ve been digging
these time traveling romance novels by Susanna Kearsley! I’m absolutely
addicted and won’t even eat when I’m reading one of them. It’s a great diet.
If you could time-travel would you
travel to the future or the past? Where would you like to go and why would you
like to visit this particular time period?
This question is so much fun. My first impulse is to time travel to the past so
I don’t know what my own future holds, but with that said I’m trying to live
more boldly, so I’d jump forward to the year 3500. Hopefully I’ll see amazing
new forms of energy uses, hear the story of how humanity saved itself and the
world from it’s own environmental crisis, and go on some amazing space crafts!
Do you have any little fuzzy friends?
Like a dog or a cat? Or any pets?
You bet. Meet Professor Lupin. He chases
dementors away with his cockapoo cuteness and loyalty.
Thanks
for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit with us today.
Thank you so much for having me. It was really fun!
