Geoducks are for Lovers b y Daisy Prescott What was the spark or initial idea that started your book? The initial spark happened when some friends were talking about going to a college reunion. Then shortly after I watched Reality Bites. The idea of what happened to those cynical Gen X friends now that they're in their forties sparked the idea for who my characters would be. I've been reading a lot of contemporary romances and while I enjoy New Adult, I thought it would be fun to write a love story where the characters are older, with baggage and complicated pasts but still figuring out their lives. What was your favorite part of writing this book? I loved writing the close connections between friends who have known each other for decades. My favorite character is Quinn.

My favorite lines conta...
