Interview Jennifer Echols

In this sexy conclusion to The Superlatives trilogy from Endless Summer author Jennifer Echols, Sawyer and Kaye might just be perfect for each other—if only they could admit it.
As vice president of Student Council, Kaye knows the importance of keeping order. Not only in school, but in her personal life. Which is why she and her boyfriend, Aidan, already have their lives mapped out: attend Columbia University together, pursue banking careers, and eventually get married. Everything Kaye has accomplished in high school—student government, cheerleading, stellar grades—has been in preparation for that future.
To his entire class, Sawyer is an irreverent bad boy. His antics on the field as school mascot and his love of partying have earned him total slacker status. But while he and Kaye appear to be opposites on every level, fate—and their friends—keep conspiring to throw them together. Perhaps the seniors see the simmering attraction Kaye and Sawyer are unwilling to acknowledge to themselves…

As the year unfolds, Kaye begins to realize her ideal life is not what she thought. And Sawyer decides it’s finally time to let down the facade and show everyone who he really is. Is a relationship between them most likely to succeed—or will it be their favorite mistake?

-First of all thank you very much for the interview .

Thanks for interviewing me. I really appreciate it!

-Is it easy or hard to leave the facade and has and show your true self? Why people instead of being shown as they are,they are facade?

I think that, especially when people are teenagers, they’re not sure what sort of people they are. They might not even have come across the college major or profession yet that will interest them for a lifetime. So if someone else—a teacher, a parent, a friend—labels them a certain way, they might believe it. That can be good or bad. The heroines in my books are labeled a certain way by their friends, and they come to question whether or not those labels fit.

-You think both in real life as in the books, that opposites attract?

I think people do tend to look for characteristics in romantic partners that they don’t have themselves. But beyond the initial attraction, all relationships take work—I don’t believe any two people are perfect for each other.

- How has it been to put an end to The Superlatives trilogy? How did you feel to put an end?

I really wanted the series to go on and on, starting over with three more books set in the next school year. I’m sad the series had to end, but I do think these three books have a nice narrative line that runs all the way through them, ending on a very satisfying note.

-Would you like to add something else to the interview or say something to fans of the web?

I’m just very flattered and amazed at how positive readers are! Thanks to all of you for your support over the years.
