Jay McLean is an international best-selling author and full-time reader, writer of New Adult and Young Adult romance, and skilled procrastinator. When she’s not doing any of those things, she can be found running after her three little boys, investing way too much time on True Crime Documentaries and binge-watching reality TV.
She writes what she loves to read, which are books that can make her laugh, make her hurt and make her feel.

Jay lives in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, in her dream home where music is loud and laughter is louder.

“You know I meant it. I am human. And male. And not remotely blind. Do you want me to say it again? You are distractingly, even if-that-is-not-a-real-word pretty. You are so pretty that I bullied Clay Whitaker into drawing me a picture of you so I could look at you when you aren't around. You are so pretty that one of these days I'm going to lose a finger in my garage because I can't concentrate with you so close to me. You are so pretty that I wish you weren't so I wouldn't want to hit every guy at school who looks at you, especially my best friend.”

<3 How's 30 treating you? same as 29? I'll be there in 13 days!

So funny that I got a post from you. I was just telling a friend that was having issues with an authors response to her beta read comments, about you.<- That sentence is probably so grammatically incorrect my editors eyes would bleed if she saw it.
Anyway, Your review was probably the most helpful one I had. Legit, not even joking. Legit, after your review I cut the legits. 3 Legits in the book, as apposed to 12! haha! Still, people aren't happy about the use of the word legit. I guess i'll legit cut a bitch.

Sigh, I miss your gifs. I read your reviews on books I won't read just for gif satisfaction.

message 2: by Jay

Jay McLean Oh wow! That's an amazing compliment. I'm not sure how soon. To be honest, I was only really thinking about publishing this one up until 3 days ago. When I sent out the arcs a week ago the first 10 responses I got back were "we need more Logan", so I added the epilogue. I had his story mapped out in my head but wasn't sure if people cared enough. Apparently they do! Lol. When you said 'admission at end' in your review. I thought you meant THE admission. Not Logan. Haha. I have a teaser from his book on my fb page. Details are in my blog :)
