Plus One
Love at first sight? More like love at first flight. We're here with the Plus One Book Team to check-in on our destination flight to Greece.
Can you give us an itinerary on what this new Choices book will be about?
Plus One is a fun, kinda campy fake dating book. You end up impulsively breaking up with your partner in the airport on the way to a wedding… between your best friend and your ex. When your new "partner" ends up having an unexpected connection to the wedding, things go from weird to messy. You have to try and make your fake relationship as convincing as possible… with half of the wedding guests breathing down your neck.
This'll be entertaining - let the messy games begin! Who are you most excited for players to meet?
DJ, our love interest, is a really fun character to write. They have a lot of hidden depths beyond just being a sexy stranger you meet on the plane. Your best friend Lucia is also great; she's a total sweetheart, but we worked really hard to make it clear she's not a pushover.
Can't wait to get to know our LI and bestie! Any other new features players can anticipate?
There's a fun scavenger hunt in a later chapter – we'll leave it at that for now. ;)
We love a good challenge! Which part of the book creation process did you enjoy the most?
We really enjoyed writing the messy relationships between the characters in this book. It's a lot of fun to write characters that are all pretty flawed (aside from Lucia, who is pretty much without reproach).
We aimed to have the outfits complete your journey – it’s a destination wedding! The outfits were made to evoke the Greek Isles.
We also created a new airplane-specific background, which was a unique challenge. See if you can spot it! :P
We'll be on the lookout! Lastly, what are you hoping fans will get out of Plus One?
Hopefully people enjoy the fantasy of being a little bit messy, doing things that… hopefully most of us wouldn't do in real life. These characters aren't exactly enviable with all that's gone on in their lives, but they are scrappy and tons of fun to write. Hopefully they're just as fun to read/play!
Thanks for sharing with us, team! Plus One is ready for takeoff and landing to Choices on August 28th. Have a safe flight;) We'll see you in Greece!
