Nashae Jones in conversation with Rachel McRady

Nashae Jones returns to discuss her newest novel The Beckett Effect. Nashae will be in conversation with Rachel McRady, author of The Sun Seekers. In The Beckett Effect, an ambitious teen filmmaker sets out to expose her school’s most notorious heartbreaker for humiliating her sister, only to realize revenge gets messy when feelings get involved. Everyone loves Beckett Lane for no reason other than his dad is famous. Everyone loves him except for Wren, and she doesn’t get why other girls don’t see all of his red flags. Even Wren’s sister Kennedy has fallen under his spell. So when Beckett humiliates Kennedy at a party, Wren knows she’s got every right to get revenge. She’s going to make a documentary to highlight just how awful he is. The problem is that the closer Wren gets to Beckett in her hopes of getting some insider dirt, the more Wren finds herself wondering if she’s falling for him, too.
