Interview with L.E. Delano, BLUE

Can you give us a brief overview of your latest book? Is it part of a series?

BLUE is a stand-alone book. The story follows Blue Mancini, whose older brother was involved in a car accident that killed the father of her classmate, Maya Rodriguez. Now Maya has returned to school determined to make Blue’s life a living hell in the aftermath. Maya has more going on in the background than just this one awful thing that ties them together, and as secrets are revealed—not just from Maya but also from Blue’s new boyfriend, Devon—Blue begins to break out of her own bubble of personal misery and realize that everyone has a story, and we’re all struggling with things that we don’t always choose to advertise. Like ogres and onions, the book has a lot of layers, all of which weave together to carry these characters to a very different place from where they began.
