Book Review+Interview: The First Lights by Christy Pastore
Review:
This was a well written book with lovable characters. We had some tear jerker moments for both Wyatt and Hannah. I liked that they both had a similar past and they could relate to each other. They had some smoking hot chemistry and their banter was off the charts. Hannah was a spitfire and Wyatt was hot and swoony. And those sexy times were something else! Now here comes the tricky part. My slight issue with the story is that as it progressed it got a little predictable for my liking. I loved majority of the book but the last few chapters didn’t hit me the way I had anticipated. Nonetheless this is an author who I will continue to read.
Interview:
1) If you could be any of your book characters, who would you be and why?
I’d feel lucky being any of the ladies/heroines in my books. I’m very fond of Harlow and Ella, they’re both living their dreams and working in fashion, which is a huge passion of mine. I wouldn’t mind being Holliday or Tinley. Both of these characters experienced gut-wrenching trauma, and I know a little something about overcoming pain from your past. I admire their strength and courage. Stevie is very bright for her young age. I admire her ability to be an adult when necessary and still a young, free-spirited twentysomething.
2) Hardest book to write?
Honestly, The First Lights was the hardest book I’ve written to date. This is about two people who have suffered incredible loss, something that fortunately for me I have not experienced. You have a single mother raising a teen boy on one hand, which I have zero experience doing. On the other, you have this man who hasn’t been living, not really just existing – once you let loneliness creep it, it’s easy to just stay “hibernated.” As for me, being a writer, that was something I was completely familiar with, and it was eye-opening to see those emotions reflected in myself.
3) Describe your writing process?
I roll out of bed and write. I try to write something each day whether it is twenty-five words or a thousand words.
4) Which book of yours would you like to see turned into a movie?
Any of them. All of them. It’s funny, I get messages from time to time from readers saying they’d love to see “this book” or that title of mine as a movie. The majority I’d say is for Fifteen Weekends.
5) Favorite Food?
I live for Mexican food. But, I’d never say no to a Margherita pizza.
6) Favorite Color?
Navy
7) Favorite Movie?
The Breakfast Club
