I loved your book about Nora and Crosbie, and glad to know that there will be Kellan's story as well. But think the previous cover more filled to the book, then new one. May I ask why you decided to change it?

Hi Gabriella,
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply - I totally missed this question! The cover debate for "Undecided" started on day one. I really loved the original cover and felt like it had better tone and feel than the new one. Unfortunately, I couldn't disagree with the fairly non-stop criticism that it suggested a love triangle. I understood how people might get that impression, but I really hadn't realized that it would be such an issue. It was. The response was fairly unanimous - and relentless - and I didn't want to hurt the chance of my book's success by being stubborn and holding onto a cover just because I loved it. As it so often goes, the response has been divided even after changing the cover. Some people like it, and some people feel like it's now too generic. I agree with that, too. But no one thinks it's a love triangle, so that's a plus. I hope that answers your question. Thanks for asking! :)

Ms Keyes, I've just come up with this and I'm pretty proud of myself actually : Emmy's talent show (Big Wild Love Adventure) should be called "The Matchbaker" ! Because she made the perfect pastries for everyone in the group and who doesn't love puns? [insert Lisa Simpson - thank you for coming to my Ted Talk meme]
