Inseparable Book Blitz and Giveaway!!

Inseparable

by Missy Johnson
Release Date: 05/14/13

Summary from Goodreads:

Can you imagine losing your twin?

Nineteen year old Lily is still struggling with the death of her identical twin, Abby, a year later when she moves away from home for college. Even in death though, their bond is still strong, with Abby visiting Lily in her dreams.

When a chance encounter with Twenty-One year old Dane Hansen changes Lily’s life, Lily’s friends warn her off becoming involved with Dane. He’s bad news, according to the rumors, anyway.

Dane has experienced loss himself, he understands Lily, and the more time he spends with her, the harder he falls. There is something he hasn’t told her though, something almost nobody knows, and it’s something that might stop Lily from feeling the same way.

Abby holds the key to something that will change Lily and Dane's life forever, but how do you get someone else to believe something you don't quite understand yourself?

***Excerpt #1***

The
worst thing, apart from the obvious, was seeing my sister fade away before my
eyes.



Looking at Abby was like looking into a mirror, identical in every way, from
our long blonde tresses, right down to our emerald green eyes and our curvy
silhouettes.



After her diagnosis, the weight dropped off her, her eyes lost their sparkle,
and her hair slowly fell out leaving a shadow of who she once was. I’d look at
Abby and I’d feel guilty.



Why wasn’t I sick? Why had Abby been given such a horrible sentence?



Why did she deserve to die and not me?



Every day following her death, I’d look in the mirror and see Abby. I’d see the
Abby I knew before she got sick. The Abby that was full of life, stuck deep
inside her sick exterior right up until the moment she died.

SUBJECT TO CHANGE Synopsis:

Joey made her dad a deathbed promise that she would become a doctor, and dedicate herself to fighting the very cancer that took his life. There’s just one problem -three years into her pre-med classes, she's struggling to stay on top of the curve, let alone prove she's dazzling enough to earn a spot in an Ivy League medical school. In a Hail Mary move, she throws a basic Business 101 class into her semester schedule, banking on a perfect score to boost her GPA.

That is, until she’s paired for a final project with Hawk, the bartending, motorbike-riding, gorgeously bedheaded loser who falls asleep in class and communicates in one-word sentences.

Hawk does whatever he wants, whenever he wants, which sets Joey on edge – in every possible way. As they get to know each other, her urge to scream at him is curbed only by her fantasies of tearing his clothes off. Soon those fantasies become reality, and Joey realizes Hawk makes her feel more fully herself than any of the rich boys her mother and sorority sisters approve of.

But the promise to her father hangs over her head, and the harder Joey tries to succeed in her chosen career, the faster everything falls into a hopeless tailspin of bad grades, broken promises and guilt. It doesn't help to have Hawk sitting like a devil on her shoulder, insisting she should be free to live however she wants to live - like he does.

The only thing Joey knows is that her neatly organized life is crushing her - and Hawk's bad attitude might be the only thing that can save her.

Guest Post

Hiiiii Ashley! Thank you so much for having me over today!

So, you asked me a really cool, unique guest post question (which makes me soooo happy, thank you!!!): Since I write books about real-life problems, what have *I* learned from writing my books?

You’re absolutely right – I *do* write books about real-life problems. Since it’s the New Adult genre, about characters dealing with being away from home from the first time or in college, and really coming into their own as independent adults, I think it’s important to write about issues that affect lots of people when I can. I’ve had a lot of experience with college students, from being one myself to working with them through grad school and beyond, and I know that the subject matter of Picture Perfect (body image issues) and Subject to Change (struggling with career choice) are two HUGE issues for people from ages 18-26, in particular.

So, what have I learned from writing books about Big Issues? Well, simply put: Big Issues bring Big Controversy from misunderstandings in a Big Way. I don’t have a ton of reviews for Subject to Change yet, since it just came out, but I know that Picture Perfect is a clear example of this. It was a book about a girl feeling bad about herself for being a size 12, since just a year before, she had been a size 2. I wanted to communicate that bodily changes are especially tough for girls to handle, especially in a culture that emphasizes appearance. 

Unfortunately, what a lot of people thought I was trying to say is that size 12 is fat. (Which, being a size 14 myself, I hope not!)

What it taught me is that anything you’re passionate about, especially when you communicate it creatively, has a high potential to be misunderstood. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go ahead and do it! For every person who MISunderstood the message of my book, there were three more who totally understood it and passed the word on to others. That makes it all worth it.

Thanks again Ashley for the incredible question! Such an honor to be on your blog today!!! <3

Excerpt!!

Dean’s grinning ear to ear. “I can fix that, and buy you pretty ladies lunch if you like.”

“No. Go away.” I’d planned on ignoring him, but Dean won’t leave me alone. He keeps brushing into me, touching me, like it’s an accident. He follows me back to the hood and shoves in between me and Millie.

“We’re fine,” Millie tells him. “You should be on your way.”

“Awh, how sweet. Your little friend thinks she can protect you. What happened to the teacher?”

“Fuck off, Dean.” I’m mad now. I hate him. I hate everything about him, everything he’s done to me. My life would have been so different if Dean never came along. I’d run him over with the car if it would reset everything, but it won’t.

Dean feigns offense. “Who taught you to talk like that? Such a dirty mouth on such a pretty girl. Just the way I like it.” He gives me a wolfish grin. Millie makes an annoyed sound, but Dean ignores her. While I’m under the hood, Dean slips his hand onto my back. His fingers tease at the edge of my shirt and brush against the bare skin at my waist. The touch makes me jump.

I don’t think anymore, I just act. I swing my fist at his face and scream, “Leave me alone!”

Dean is smiling, acting like this is a game, until I land the punch on the side of his cheek. Anger flashes in his eyes. He backhands me before I can blink. The wrench goes flying out of my other hand and I stumble back. Millie screams, and I can hear the old guy yelling, but there are no words, just blurred sounds as pain shoots through my face.

Dean grabs my wrist and starts pulling me across the parking lot. “Walk or I’ll make you wish you had.”
