Mina’s comments from the Ask Emily Colin group.

Love is the driving force that motivates each of these characters. In the name of love we can make some courageous, generous, as well as questionable choices...human. I initially struggled with Maddie's choice to let "her guards" down with J.C. right after Aidan's death, or with J.C. for twisting the knife, so to speak, in his best friend's heart during that argument over Maddie when he brought up Aidan's father. Even with Aidan, for pursuing a dangerous hobby even after becoming a father. And Grace...but then an overflowing compassion took over my reader's judgment, compassion for all of them.

Yes, please! Make it happen. Unlike those readers who are thrown off-balance by multiple POVs, I love the intimacy it creates between reader and characters. I actually missed J.C. 's perspective, but editors know better...

One of the aspects I appreciated the most about TMT is the narrative style: three different 1st POVs, three hearts laid bare... Was that your choice of technique from the start? Did the story play in your mind in this fashion as you conceived it? My considerations about your stunning and original debut on Mina's Bookshelf http://minadecaro.blogspot.com/2012/1...
