Synopsis:
*Contains sexually explicit content and mature subject matter, including language and elements of abuse.*
A gritty New Adult drama about a young woman’s self-destructive quest to find purpose, self-worth, and love in a broken world.
My name is Elise Duchamp. I’m twenty-three years old and I’m known as the town whore.
No, not the kind who exchanges sexual favors for money. The other kind. The kind who gives it all away for free, whenever and however she likes. I am that girl. The one everyone whispers about and the one none of the girls seem to like, because all of their boyfriends either want to sleep with me or already have. Promiscuity is my thing—the kind that slowly, violently turns my insides black, but gives me something I need.
All things considered, I’m not completely reckless. I’m safe, and contrary to popular opinion, I do have a heart. I live in a world of careless choices, and with those choices come careless people. I cannot judge them, because I am one of them. I too bow down to the altar of the self-serving. I am not a good friend. I am not and never could be anyone’s girlfriend. I’m convinced any goodness in me shriveled up and died long ago.
But I am a replacement. That is something I know how to be, and this is a story of the lengths I’d go to in order to keep it that way.

Here is Rachael to tell us a bit about her Dream Cast for The Replacement:
Okay, so let me start by saying… it’s so, SO insanely hard to cast characters. Just ask any writer, and they’ll tell you. We have very specific ideas in our heads of what these people look like. It’s been a bit easier in the past with some of my other books, but The Replacement is my baby. It’s my favorite thing I’ve written to date, so the task feels especially impossible. I just can’t google these people.
That being said, I’m going to cheat a little here. These cast picks were sent to me by Heidi from My E-Literate Obsession book blog. She’s on my street team. And man, did she nail the cast. These picks just so happened to be phenomenal choices. I absolutely love them. Oddly enough, she casted Chace Crawford as Nate, and that was exactly who I pictured for Nate when I was writing the story. So, no, this isn’t MY dream cast, but I definitely approve!
Read the book and tell me what you think. Who would you choose? I love seeing different cast choices!
Hey, Kayla! Thanks so much for sharing this post today and for your continued support on the tours and street team. I've loved chatting with you and getting to know you over the past few years, and I appreciate all you do as a book blogger!
