If you haven't been living under a rock then you'll know all about Harry Potter. The books, the movies, the craze and fandom behind the worldwide phenomenon that shook children and adults alike to the core.
I was a total Potterhead growing up. I was 8 going on 9 when I got the first book and I immediately fell in love with the wizarding world. I was convinced I was a Gryffindor but now that I'm older, I fully embrace my Ravenclaw house.
I'm now 26 years old and I still love the books and movies as much as I did as a child. It brought me closer to a lot of people who shared that same love and I wanted to show that love through Nora, one of our main protagonists in this story. Nora is me in a lot of ways, minus the fact that's she's perky and upbeat whereas I'm more like Laney, another one of our protagonists. The two eventually find a common love for the books but more on that later as the story progresses.
More than anything, this is a love story. A love for books. A love for movies. A love for someone you didn't even know you loved until you got to know them better and see their heart and soul. It's also an adventure, coming of age story. Two young women find themselves in an unlikely situation and they try to make the best of it. It's a combination of a few of my favorite kinds of stories and I'm proud to be able to finally write one of my own.
Nora is a reminder that we should always stay true to ourselves and never stop doing what we love just because others think it's weird. Laney is a reminder we should always stick up for others, stay strong in the face of danger and always follow your heart. These two ladies are my idea of how opposites attract and I couldn't love them more. I'm proud of the journey they take together and how much they grow as young adults and I hope you'll be proud of them too.
Thank you for reading and I hope you continue to show your support for my first serious book.
