Hope everyone is well. I am so pleased to have been invited to be part of the blog tour for Everything Changes but You by Jennifer Joyce. Not only is the cover absolutely stunning, but I have just started reading the book and it is excellent. I think it will keep me engrossed this weekend.
Today Jennifer has kindly written about her favourite characters in the book. I hope you enjoy reading about her book and the characters as much as I have. I would really recommend adding Everything Changes but You to your reading list.

About the book:
Ally Richmond is dreading turning
thirty and bidding farewell to her youth. And when her husband says he wants to
start a family, she begins to panic.
Is this all that life has to offer
from now on? Popping out babies and growing old gracefully? She wants a life
crammed with glamour and spontaneous adventure, not one full of dirty nappies
and night feeds.
When Ally makes a silly birthday wish
for a new, exciting life, her wish is granted.
But when Ally is presented with the
freedom and opportunities she craves, she soon realises this new life isn’t all
it’s cracked up to be and that there really is no place like home.
Jennifer Joyce writes about her favourite characters from the book
When you have children, you shouldn’t have a favourite. But
the great thing about creating characters is that you can have favourites (I’m pretty sure that’s the deal, anyway). In
Everything Changes But
You I had two characters that I became very fond of. The
funny thing is they are quite mine characters with only a handful of scenes
but they totally stole the show for me.
Clementine is a supernatural
being, a sort-of-guardian-angel who grants wishes. She’s quite young and sweet
but she also has a naughty, impish side and a wicked sense of humour which I
love. For me, she’s a cross between Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, and the
Ghost of Christmas Present from Scrooged (although, to my knowledge, she’s
never whacked anyone with a toaster). She’s a rookie when it comes to the
granting wishes game, so she doesn’t always get everything right, but this only
makes me warm to her more.
Book Quote:
“‘Are you a guardian angel?’
‘Sort of.’
Ally narrowed
her eyes. ‘You don’t have wings.’
‘What?’
Clementine turned to try and see behind her and ended up doing a pirouette on
the sitting room rug. ‘Dammit, I’ve left them behind again.’”
Keith Barry is
not like Clementine at all. He’s a human being for a start. He’s also arrogant
and vulgar and lives under the assumption that he’s a bit of a love god, which
should make me dislike this weasel of a man but I ADORE Keith Barry. I wouldn’t
want to actually meet him in real life and if he was a relative of mine I’d disown
him, but he was such great fun to write. I see Keith Barry as a cross between Les
Battersby and Keith Lemon. Not such a pretty picture, I know.
Book Quote: “Keith
Barry was fat and balding but thought he was some sort of love god and had a
tendency to wear shiny gold shirts and fistfuls of sovereign rings.”
