Summary from Goodreads:
Since Ruby Milton’s mother committed suicide, she’s forgotten what it’s like to be seventeen.
Saddled with taking care of her toddler brother and alcoholic father, Ruby has no time for fun. She also can’t shake the growing resentment she feels for her mother’s decision, which left her unable to grieve without anger and regret.
Then she meets blue-eyed musician Byron Black, who challenges everything she believes.
Byron refuses to let anyone control his life—or his death. When he left the city behind, he was in search of somewhere where nobody knew his secret. What he didn’t expect was to meet a beautiful redhead whose views conflict so completely with his own. But as their romance deepens, he begins to doubt his choices and decides to return to the city…for one last chance.
When Byron disappears, Ruby will stop at nothing to track him down.
Upon finding Byron, Ruby discovers his devastating secret, and a battle of wills begins. Byron doesn’t want her to know this part of him. He has to deal with it by himself, even though the idea of losing her tears him apart.
Will they be able to see each other through the darkness?
Or should they save their hearts and just let go?

The When, Where, What, Why and Who of
Push Me, Pull Me
When
did you decide to write
Push Me Pull Me?
I decided to write
Push Me, Pull Me
while I was waiting to hear back from
publishers who at the time were looking at my first
Young Adult novel,
Captivate.
For a while I'd been tinkering around with an idea
for a contemporary YA set in a
small town (I'd only written books with fantasy ele
ments up until then), and, needing
a complete break from the fantasy series I'd been w
riting, I dived head first into
Ruby and Byron's story.
Where
did you write it?
I wrote the first draft of
Push Me, Pull Me
in two of my local cafes. Seeing as a lot
of the story is set in a bookstore cafe, being in t
hat environment really helped me to
lose myself in the story. The daily coffee and cake
helped too!
What
is your favourite scene from
Push Me, Pull Me
?
Without a doubt the explosive kiss scene, where Byr
on and Ruby lock lips in the
rain during a thunderstorm! It's sizzling!
Why
did you decide to include a bookstore in the setti
ng of
Push Me, Pull Me
?
I was working at a lovely bookstore at the time and
this greatly influenced the one in
Push Me, Pull Me. Plus, I'd always wanted to write
a meet-cute set in a bookstore.
Now I have! :)
Who
is your favourite character?
This is like asking who your favourite child is! I
love all the characters in
Push Me,
Pull Me
, but I'd have to say Ruby, because she is such a s
trong individual and I
really admire her for her strength despite the many
difficult situations she faces. But
I love Byron too! He is so beautiful and mysterious
and... he's a musician! *sigh* I'll
always have a bit of a crush on him...
