Even as a ghost I know I will want that - whether I can drink it or not.Ģ) Pandora so I can still listen to my favorite music - no music would really be HELL.ģ) Supernatural email - there must be an internet in the afterlife, right? Or would I just be able to speak to whomever I wanted into their minds?Ĥ) Really nice shoes. If you were haunting someone, theoretically, of course, what three items would you demand to appease you and send you off happily to the afterlife?ġ) A really good strong cup of coffee with half and half - hot in winter, iced in the summer. His heart, underneath the pain, is essentially pure and caring -his wacky humor and nerdiness are the defenses he has constructed to protect it (along with some other not so endearing habits). And though I guess his ability to mask his pain is what makes him able to hide it so well, I think it is also what is so endearing about him. LISA: What I love about Jeremy is that no matter what, his mind is always working - he's clever and funny. What do you think it is about Jeremy that makes him so appealing to readers (or what is it about him that appeals to you as the author)? He's a terribly flawed boy-even self-destructive-and yet he's also so sympathetic.

Hi, Lisa, thanks for chatting with me today! Jeremy Glass is such a wonderfully complex character. I flipped through the pages greedily, wanting to know what was going to happen next. I was routing for him - even yelling at him at times! - but always on his side. The pov character, Jeremy Glass, is deeply flawed, but also sympathetic. It's a gritty YA mystery with creepy supernatural elements, that explores some disturbing & mature issues.

Jeremy's story is at times reality-bending, but heartbreakingly real. Clue by clue, he gets closer to unraveling the mystery, and soon realizes he must discover the truth or become the next victim himself.īreaking Glass is a gripping, emotionally-raw story. When he begins receiving messages from her from beyond the grave, he's not sure whether they're real or if he's losing his grip on reality. On the night seventeen-year-old Jeremy Glass winds up in the hospital with a broken leg and a blood alcohol level well above the legal limit, his secret crush, Susannah, disappears. Today we have with us fellow Inky & debut YA author Lisa Amowitz, who's ghostly Breaking Glass
