Fate, Love, Tears delivers on its promise to excite as it delves into the chaotic and all too familiar world of first love. The two voices of Allebrielle and Rob alternate to paint a complete picture of the thrill and heartache they encounter while falling in love. The roller coaster ride of high school and family drama is just the start for the young lovers, as their naivete is put to the test in the face of illness, death, and deception. Bishop writes with brilliant nonchalance looking through adolescent eyes dusted with hope and tender heartache. Author Bio: When I was younger and my parents asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I replied "a writer." As a young child, most children change their occupation every once in a while, some even once a week! I never changed my answer. Writing has always been a passion for me. I grew up reading A to Z mysteries and Nancy Drew, but now my taste has gone from mystery to romance. I"m a sucker for love. I love Nicholas Sparks, and his style of writing inspired me to write my novel. So Mr. Sparks, if you read Fate, Love Tears, my thanks goes to you for helping me pursue my dream. --Lauren Bishop
