Best-selling Glasgow author Sophie Gravia speaks to The Herald about her new stand alone novel Hot Girl Summer ahead of its release in July.
It must be a daunting feeling having to be creative and write a new story when you’re still riding the wave of a trilogy that shot to unprecedented success.
In the run-up to its launch, Gravia pushed for an early release in Glasgow Airport to give some lucky fans the chance to enjoy it on holiday before the rest of the “I speak to other authors who have released dozens of books, and they still feel like that too which is a slight comfort. But I’ve been very lucky, and people are already messaging me asking for a sequel.”
After the three meet up with each other again at a high school reunion, they all realise they’re not where they want to be in life and decide to start having fun again. “So many young girls I speak to tell me they are obsessed with dating apps and trying to find somebody, so I wanted to emphasise that you can achieve your dreams without having somebody by your side.”
“I try not to take too much away from other books, because I feel my writing style is what pushed the last series so much. It’s not your classic style of writing.
