Quick-fire Q&A with Jill Shalvis plus win SECOND CHANCE SUMMER

If I had to go back in time and choose another career…

I’d be a rock star. Of course, I can’t sing, so…

My dream holiday destination…

A deserted beach with a fully-charged Kindle and a chef…

If I were to be stranded on a desert island, my one luxury item would be…

A fully-charged Kindle…

The book I’ve read the most times…

All the Harry Potters…

My guilty pleasure…

COOKIES.

The item I have more of than anything else…

Shoes… and the funny thing is that they’re all athletic shoes, not pretty shoes.

The last time I went to the cinema…

Last week to see Jurassic World with my boyfriend Chris Pratt.

The thing I could never give up…

Reading.   No, wait — cookies.   No, reading.   No, cookies…

My choice of superpower…

Transporting!

The one piece of advice I would give my teenage self…

Don’t worry about what you look like in the mirror!!!
