Such insightful and warm conversation about the stories both @WHusseyAuthor and @amarasagewrites wrote, and the stories they’ve both lived. It was brilliant to see so many engaged teen faces in the audience - thank you for writing these important books!

QUESTION 2 Which was your favourite character in Influential to write? Is there one that you identify more with? #SecondaryBookChat @amarasagewrites

@TeachEnglishLit @BookTalkCIC @Schoolbookclubs Thank you so much, Almond’s dad, Joe, will always have a place in my heart. And Honey, of course! I wanted their flat to feel like home to Almond in comparison to the ‘set’ of the house she lived in with her mum, with everything being too perfect #SecondaryBookChat

TeacherofEnglishLiterature@TeachEnglishLit·10 May

@amarasagewrites @BookTalkCIC @Schoolbookclubs Again, a very complex and complicated subject, I found him and your design of him fascinating - his is almost an oxymoron to Eve. And Honey! Having the dog with dad really set the tone for that commentary #secondarybookchat

Book Clubs in Schools@Schoolbookclubs·10 May

As usual we will ask a couple of questions to get things started but then do join in with your own comments and questions - remember to use #SecondaryBookChat @amarasagewrites So QUESTION number 1 - Where did the idea for the book come from? #SecondaryBookChat @amarasagewrites

amara✨@amarasagewrites·10 May

@BookTalkCIC @Schoolbookclubs I’m certain of it. I won’t name and shame but I’ve witnessed a family go through public shaming, cancellations, and relationship breakdown, with audiences discussing and ‘reacting’ to everything, there’s no doubt it will have psychologically affected them #SecondaryBookChat

English

Katy@BookTalkCIC·10 May

@amarasagewrites @Schoolbookclubs I wonder if there will be a similar period of ‘Almonds’ coming forward exposing the impact it’s had on them? #SecondaryBookChat

English

Book Clubs in Schools@Schoolbookclubs·10 May

QUESTION 3 Our next question links to this - the issue of consent is central to the book - what was the most important aspect for you to get across?#SecondaryBookChat @amarasagewrites

amara✨@amarasagewrites·10 May

@Schoolbookclubs Hehe… I’m working on my second YA novel, dissecting the damage diet culture has on dating and self-relationship. Saffron, who struggles with restrictive eating and slimming club shame, plays the dating game the only way she knows how to win, by lying. #SecondaryBookChat

Book Clubs in Schools@Schoolbookclubs·10 May

For our last question - and you've given us a hint... what are you working on? What should we look out for next? #SecondaryBookChat @amarasagewrites
