Justin is Clare's ex-boyfriend and the relationship between them is rather tense, him also having been her only real friend. My heart broke when he decided to trust Clare's instincts despite everything that had happened to him previously involving psychics. You'll love him as he has his own little sob story, so acts all tough, he's really caring and prepared to put himself in front of a bullet meant for someone else. He's the son of the detective and very skeptic of Clare and her powers, yet also deeply attracted to her fieriness. You will like her but there are times you curse her as well! However she's quite hardy, sarcastic and has a tendency to blunder into things. There is lots to praise about Clare - she's pretty down to earth and there are tonnes of typical teenage traits which means you can relate to her more easily. Yeah, they're a bit odd but it's more of a uniqueness rather than a total removal from normal life - you won't find yourself yearning to be a psychic(or vampire/werewolf) like in other books just because the main character is. What I liked most about Clarity is how Harrington does not put too much emphasis on the fact Clare and her family are psychic - it becomes a sort of accepted part of them - like perhaps how in your family it might be normal to read books all together and discuss them in the evening. Harrington's debut novel is a good fluffy read - literally unchallenging but very close to spinning a close-knit good story that doesn't have those loose threads that are quite common with this genre. She lives in MA with her family.Clarity by Kim Harrington is a mystery paranormal thriller featuring a psychic girl Clare (or Clarity) who becomes involved in a murder investigation with a very hot but rather skeptic boy detective. Then I don’t shut up.įacebook: Kim Harrington is the author of the young adult novels Forget Me (Penguin/Speak), The Dead and Buried, Clarity, and Perception (Scholastic), as well as the middle-grade series Sleuth or Dare (Scholastic). What is one thing most people don't know about you?īecause I’m so outgoing online, I think people would be surprised to find out that I’m painfully shy in person. So don’t quit, keep learning, keep trying, keep plugging away. The interesting thing about this job is that it’s not over until you say it is.
To aspiring authors, I’d say don’t give up.
I love my life and I’m scared that any advice I gave would cause me to make a different choice along the way, and I wouldn’t want to end up anywhere other than where I am. This may sound weird but I wouldn’t give myself any advice.
What advice would you give to your younger self? Is this the same as you would give to aspiring authors? So I’m crossing my fingers that it will sell when I’m done. Right now I’m working on an uncontracted MG that is one of my favorite books ever.
