International Kissing Club Character Interview: Piper + Givaway!

Around the World in 80 Kisses

Even though you had to stay at home, where else would you want to travel?

I had planned to go to Costa Rica to study in the rainforest. It was perfect, since I’m big into the environment.

Whats your opinion on long distances relationships?

Long distance relationships of all kinds suck. At the beginning of the year, my boyfriend went off to college. We didn’t even try to do the long distance thing and it still sucked when I found out he was dating someone else.

Even long distance friendships are hard. I was lonely when Cassidy, Mei and Piper were gone!

Do you believe that true friendships last through anything?

When Cassidy, Mei and Piper left for the semester, I though our friendship would survive anything. But the truth is, you have to work at friendships. You have to make an effort. And sometimes you have to make sacrifices for your friends. I’m not going to say any more, but trust me, good friends are worth the work!

Give three words to describe your experience being in Paris alone. 

Challenging, strange, lonely.

And lastly, can you give us any hints about your love life there?

Let’s just say my kissing opportunities were severely limited, but through hard work and dedication, I found someone to kiss. And he was even international!

Thank you for hosting us today! Now for everyone: what’s your opinion on long distance relationships? Our characters want to know.

The International Kissing Club by Ivy Adams is the story of four best friends: Piper, Cassidy, Mei, and Izzy--the misfits of Paris, Texas. Their whole lives, they’ve dreamed of escaping small-town life and seeing the world. So when Piper is the victim of an embarrassing prank that goes viral online, she gets the idea that the girls should escape via the school’s international exchange program, in search of fun, love and internet redemption.

Emily McKay along with Shellee Roberts and Tracy Deebs write under the pseudonym Ivy Adams. They shop, gossip and watch movies in Austin, Texas.
