Interview & Giveaway: Love and Other Theories by Alexis Bass

Publisher: HarperTeen
Release Date: December 31st 2014

If you want more, you have to give less.

That’s the secret to dating in high school. By giving as little as they expect to get in return, seventeen-year-old Aubrey Housing and her three best friends have made it to the second semester of their senior year heartbreak-free. And it’s all thanks to a few simple rules: don’t commit, don’t be needy, and don’t give away your heart.

So when smoking-hot Nathan Diggs transfers to Lincoln High, it shouldn’t be a big deal. At least that’s what Aubrey tells herself. But Nathan’s new-boy charm, his kindness, and his disarming honesty throw Aubrey off her game and put her in danger of breaking the most important rule of all: Don’t fall in love.

“Careful, subtle and aching. ” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Warning: Bass’s debut novel will ignite ALL your feelings!” - Wendy Higgins, New York Times bestselling author of the Sweet Evil trilogy

“A bold debut that authentically captures the frenzy of love, lust, and senior year of high school!” - Julie Murphy, author of Side Effects May Vary

1. Can you sum up Love & Other Theories in just five words?
Friendship, love, desire, leaving, regret.

2. What comes first- the characters or the plot?
Characters first, almost always. For me, it usually starts with a main character with a dilemma, and from there it grows into a *hopefully* cohesive plot.

3. What book made you love to read/write?
My love of writing started very young. I had a bundle of favorites including: The Ramona Quimby Books, Where the Ren Fern Grows, and Bridge to Terabithia. I was completely in love with how these stories pulled out such strong emotions, and fascinated by their ability to do so!

4. What else do you love to do other than writing and reading?
I enjoy traveling, swimming, staying up late talking with my friends, going to the movies, and taking my dog for a run.

5. What are you working on right now?
I’m currently wrapping up revisions for my YA novel out next year titled WHAT’S BROKEN BETWEEN US, and drafting a YA romance.
