About Perfectly Reflected • Excerpt: Caution, ch. 1 • The Buzz & Reviews

“Imagine someone knowing your deepest, darkest secrets and using them against you… Perfectly Reflected develops the darker side of Alex’s story… and I am tapping my fingers impatiently for the 3rd and final book. Seriously I cannot wait – I need resolution NOW.”

Hi Lucy,
I’m so glad that you felt as if you were Alex – that’s exactly what I was trying to achieve. I want you to believe that if you were her, you might behave in a similar way. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you like the final book, and do write a review when you’ve read it – there will be a new page on the website where you can put it on. You might even get to be first!
Sue

hi S.C.Ransom my name is Hannah i absolutley love small blue thing and perfectly reflected it took me 1 day each to read them without stopping! its sooooo beautiful and emotional
is there any chance of a film? the trailor does look eye catching for you to think about how it will be like
Hi S.C.Ransom can i please ask that if its possible could you please find out or persuade the movie guys to make a brilliant movie of this beautiful story.
If its not possible or you are busy then its abosolutley fine no pressure im just crazy that i love the story soooooo much i want to see how it can be a movie.
can i please please please know who the actors are in the small blue thing trailer please use them in the movie and i didnt really get to see them properly
Hi Mayah,
I’ve no idea who the actors are! They did want my daughter Ellie to be the girl, but she couldn’t get off school (she was very upset about that!). I think that their faces are hidden so that you can imagine them the way you want – what I think Callum looks like could be very different to how you imagine him.
At the moment there are no firm plans to make it into a movie, but if enough of you are interested (on Facebook and watching the trailer etc.), then the movie guys might pick it up. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Sue
i know a song from the movie ‘bodyguard’ that can go perfectly in this story. unfortunatly it is in a different language but here’s verse translated, the movie is about a girl pretending to be someone else and is in love but the song is exactly like callum and Alex.
“Yours and mine, mine and yours, love story is difficult,
can’t tell it in two words,
Separated from each other when made for each other”
which also reminds me can i ask again about the small blue thing movie?
did i mention at the begining of the song the guy is running really fast to the girl like Callum running like the wind to Alex when she needs him.
small blue thing and perfectley reflected are my favourite books in the whole world!
i really really really wanted to know if theres a movie of it and i really am wanting to see it because i cant stop thinking about it. i really want to see how Callum really looks like and the other amazing characters.
please reply if you know anything about the movie and when can it come out.
Sue,
I LOVED Perfectly Reflected!!! It was so emotional and at one point I almost cried. I can’t wait for the last book, and I always wish it could come out sooner. I hope you will write other books as well, because I will definatly read them!! Cant wait for Scattering like Light, it will be amazing!!
Jess
Dear Sue.
I love this book so much ..Its so emotional and tense
Im writing my own story at the moment and i wish for you to read some of it
Is there a way that i could send it to you ?
Dear Jordan,
It’s really good that you are writing. If you want to send it to me my email is smallbluething@nosycrow.com. I’m not sure how quickly I’ll be able to reply, but I will read it.
Sue

Dear Kinga,
12 is the perfect age – I wrote Small blue Thing for my daughter’s twelfth birthday present. I hope you enjoy the others too.
Sue
Perfectly Reflected is AMAZING !!!!!
It is making me extremley tense.
Is there anyway i could contact you by email so i can send you a part of my story ?.
I would really want to know what you think of it and how it can be improved.
Overall i think you should keep writing stories because they are AMAZING!
Keep up the good work
Jordan K xx
Hi Susan ,
Im reading Perfectly Reflected ITS AMAZING SO FAR!!!!!..At first it was slightly tense then it calmed down ….then there was a massive shock and now its staying tense ..I cant wait for Scattering Like Light.
Im currently writing my own story .Its about a girls life and a boy who only she can see ..kind of reminds me of your story…I wish you could read mine at the moment but i dont know how to send you something …I was depressed by that ..
In scattering Like Light does it get more emotional or happier or something else?
Im 12 and at that age i want to know things but i dont expect you to tell me i dont mind
Jordan K xxxxxx
Dear Sue,
I just love the book but its kind of emotional and in the middle of the book, i caught myself crying… Its so touching and so romantic.. When is the last book coming out.. I really cant wait to readit!
Please,please,please release it early and i mean like all over the world because i’m from Singapore and it kinda takes some time to get the book from America to Singapore. So, yeah! I hope you could release it as early as possible.. I REALLY can’t wait to read it!
P.s lucky for your daughter,Ellie, she could be the person first person to read every book you wrote
Khaliesah(:
Hi,
I’m glad to hear you liked this one too. I’ve just finished the final check on Scattering like Light (there will be a blog post up about it shortly, I hope), it is going to print in December and will be in the shops and online at the beginning of January. I’m afraid I can’t make it go any quicker! If you pre-order on line though, sometimes they ship early, so you never know.
Ellie is the only person to have read it so far, and it made her cry too, so get your hanky ready when your copy arrives.
It’s great that it’s travelled as far as Singapore!
Sue
Dear Sue,
Oh thanks by the way! Sorry for bargaining you like that.. Does Ellie enjoy the book? I hope she does though and thanks for the reminder. I will get my hanky ready!
Khaliesah
WOW!

This was such a good book. I couldn’t stop reading it once I’d started! I can’t wait for the next one to come out.
Haha, Did You Read The First One After All Then?
amazing i had it on pre order and had been waiting for ages for it to arive the next day i told my friend it had come and we had a screaming fit over it. really and truly amazing now that is what i call a book.
I really loved the book, an found that while I was waiting for the next step of the trilogy to come out, I read the book a second time! I absolutely love the book, and if you haven’t read it, then you haven’t lived!
