As author of Unbreakable and as one-half of the writing duo that brought teen readers Beautiful Creatures and its phenomenally popular sequels, Kami Garcia has become one of the most successful authors of YA contemporary fantasy. Now, with The Lovely Reckless, Garcia is turning her pen in a new direction: contemporary realistic fiction, with a gritty romance set in the world of street racing that Kirkus Reviews calls “a wild and enjoyable ride.” In this session, Garcia will talk candidly about inspiration, crossing genres, and writing for a variety of YA audiences, in conversation with popular booktuber Samantha Lane, host of YouTube channel “Thoughts on Tomes.” Sponsored by the Boston Teen Author Festival.
