Our friend Carol Fitzgerald, President of the Book Report Network, recently interviewed Meg Mitchell Moore, author of The Islanders, to discuss Meg's latest novel Two Truths and a Lie, on sale now! The book is set in Newburyport, Massachusetts where Meg lives, and they talk about how she brings this town to life in her fiction using the businesses and beaches there.
The book is told from four points of view, one of which is as notes from the Mom Squad, a group of mothers who have bonded together through their daughters. Meg and Carol discuss the story structure and character development, as well as the changes social media has made in young people’s lives and the ways in which parents must adapt. Carol learns more about the challenges and joys of writing a summer beach story with interesting characters and a storyline that brings escape.
