To claim Oliver's heart-and keep her own-she'll have to find the courage to do what she fears most: step into the spotlight. Seeking Mansfield was one of my very favorite 2017 debut novels, and author Kate Watson has certainly cemented herself as one of my favorite contemporary authors with her sophomore novel Shoot the Moon.

Originally from Canada, she attended college in the States and holds a BA in Philosophy from Brigham Young University. Or, is she only interested in Harlan because Oliver is taken? Finley doesn't want to be won, and she doesn't want to see Oliver with anyone else. Kate Watson is a young adult writer, wife, mother of three, and the tenth of thirteen children. She discovers she might have feelings for him too. As Emma and Oliver grow closer, Finley realizes that Harlan's attention is shifting to her. Another new addition to the growing library of Jane Austen retellings, Seeking Mansfield is a young adult adaptation of Mansfield Park. But when teen movie stars Emma and Harlan Crawford move across the street from the Bertrams, they shake up Finley and Oliver's stable friendship. If Finley could just take Oliver's constant encouragement to heart and step out of the shadows, she'd finally chase her dream of joining the prestigious Mansfield Theater. Since Finley moved in with her godparents after the death of her father, she and Oliver have grown close. The only person who ever seems to notice Finley is her best friend and godparents' son, Oliver Bertram. Sixteen-year-old Finley Price has perfected two things: how to direct a world-class production, and how to fly way, way under the radar. Kate Watson is a young adult writer, wife, mother of two and the tenth of thirteen children.
