PRAISE FOR THE SEASON
**Texas Library Association, 2010 Lone Star Reading List
“The Season is frothy, girly, wicked and wise to the tender, tenuous and sometimes very strong ties between young people throughout the ages. With a backdrop of world events and enough nefariousness to go around, here is a romp for readers to lose themselves in.” – Anna Godbersen, author of The Luxe series
***
“Clever conversation in the spirit of Jane Austen makes this quite a page turner.” – Publishers Weekly
***
“The author excels in her depiction of 19th-century England — the dialogue in the society scenes is spot-on.”– School Library Journal
***
“Historical fiction, romance and mystery…this book has it all! If you loved The Luxe, then you need to check out The Season.“ – Justine Magazine
***
“Lively characters…a fun and unrestrained take on a buttoned-up era.” – Kirkus Reviews
***
“Did someone say perfect? Well I did! This is the most enjoyable, fun, and romantic book I’ve read in a good long while! And I suggest you read it RIGHT NOW!” – Pop Culture Junkie
“The Season was such a fun read! Smooth writing, enthralling characters, intriguing mystery! Recommended!” – The Story Siren
“I Heart It. I’m even giving my copy of The Season to a friend so that she can read it, but asking for it back, which I don’t usually do.” – I Heart Monster

I ADORED “The Season.” I’m almost 13 and a history freak. I love everything old. I am one messed up child! :-) I’m planning to read your other books at some point. And I also just wanted to say: Sarah, you are one of my heroes, and I love your books. Er, the one that i’ve read any way. I hope that I can write as well as you someday!
September 11th, 2011 at 10:51 am
Please make a sequel! I also love history, and this book was so good! The end is really sspenseful and I want to know what happenes next!!! Best book ever! (especially if you make it a series… *hint hint*)
:)
Keep on writing!
April 28th, 2011 at 10:01 pm
Hey Sarah! I just read The Season and fell absolutely in love! Will there be a sequel to it?
May 7th, 2011 at 8:04 pm
OMG my best friend and I both adore this book and would love for there to be a sequel. *hint hint*
May 9th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
I work at a high school library and the girls are asking if there is going to be a sequel. They would love another book!
May 9th, 2011 at 4:17 pm
Hi Jessica!
I’m afraid there are no plans for additional books in The Season series…but stay tuned! There will be more YA very soon!
xo
May 17th, 2011 at 12:52 am
I just luuuuuuv your book, and so do all of my friends. I really hope there’s a sequel. I really think there should be books for Vivi and Will and Ella and some other hot, brooding guy who sweeps her off her feet:)
May 23rd, 2011 at 2:10 pm
another vote for a sequel to The Season. I know you said you didn’t have any in store but I love the trio and want see what happen to Vivi and Ella!
June 9th, 2011 at 7:36 am
Thanks, Sarah!
May 28th, 2011 at 1:23 pm
I agree with everyone else… need to know what happens with Vivi and Ella!
June 9th, 2011 at 7:33 am
Hi Mary! Unfortunately, I don’t have any more plans for other books in The Season series…but I do have plans for another YA! Stay tuned!
June 12th, 2011 at 10:49 pm
Sarah, i think that you should right another season. i don’t just think that i’m begging for that. you leave so many questions unanswered! what happens to Alex and Blackmoor? what about Vivi and Ella? what adventures await them next? i was actually sad at the end of the book because it was over. you need to make another. I would buy it. i couldn’t put the season down
June 21st, 2011 at 10:23 pm
i absoulty loved the season. i know you said you didn’t plan on writing another book but i need to know what happens to Ella, Vivi, Alex, and Blackmoor. Please write a sequel!!
June 29th, 2011 at 11:33 pm
Hi, Ms. MacLean. I just finished “The Season”, after checking it out from my local library. I was rather curious about a debate my friend and I started, and your opinion on it. We were wondering if you had any intentions towards the book becoming a movie? We love the plot, characters, etc. More than anything, we love the book because we can find bits of ourselves in the characters. We’re sure that anyone who we pass the book on to will love it, and can’t wait for your next book!
July 15th, 2011 at 12:33 am
Hi Mrs. MacLean, i know you keep saying your not going to write a sequel to the book The Season, but i loved it so much and i’ve read it like 50 times. I think if you did decide to write a sequel so many people would jump on it to get the book. So i hope you reconsider writing a another book. Love your writing!
August 20th, 2011 at 9:11 am
Hi Sarah,
I know you said you had no plans for a sequel but I have read an incredible number of historical romances (including your nine rules trio) and this was one of the few novels that left me truly desperate to read more about Alex and her adventures. Please reconsider writing a sequel it would be worth it, it was one of the most beautifully balanced,complex and exciting short novels I’ve read.
August 21st, 2011 at 2:51 pm
Hi Sarah,
I am currently reading The Season and I am half way finished with it, I think this book is AMAZING!!!!! You should really turn this book into a movie! I bet it would be as popular as Twilight, but better! I LOVE THIS BOOK! Please write another one! My friends and I all LOVE the book.
August 22nd, 2011 at 11:43 am
Dear Sarah,
I LOVE THE SEASON!!!! its the best book ever1 Please make a sequel. What happens with Alex and Gavin?? I need to know!
August 31st, 2011 at 7:22 pm
I read this book and fell in love!! I had to re read it because it was so good. It’s one of my favorite books and I always ask if people have read it. If they haven’t I recommend it!! Thanks for such a good book!!
September 19th, 2011 at 7:20 pm
Lol looking at the reviews and I saw mention to the luxe! But here’s the thing read this… And well it simply out does that book, tried to read it couldn’t do it! Can’t wait for your next YA book(s)? I am really excited!! I’d also like to say the whole neighbor romance connects to me! I’ve had a crush on a neighbor for like ever… Great reliever, lol… Anyway love that romantic plot, can’t forget this book, hit me in the head! Again really excited for your new YA book(s) really can’t wait hope to hear about them soon!!
September 30th, 2011 at 7:28 am
It is possible this book is made into a movie?(it will be easier to understand and better than seeing the words in the book-very hard to visualize)
October 2nd, 2011 at 9:54 am
Sarah, The Season is my favorite book (no joke) And I would love to read a book about Vivi. I could relate to her the most and I feel like she would be great with William (alex’s brother) don’t get me wrong, I love all your characters. I seem to have a lot of backup from other girls who want another Season book…
Your loyal fan, Jessica
October 11th, 2011 at 6:58 pm
Loved The Season!! I couldn’t put it down. Please please tell me that we eventually get to find out what happens with Vivi and Ella!
October 16th, 2011 at 1:48 am
Hi!
I absolutely adore The Season. It’s about time that someone’s invented such a fabulous heroine set in Regency England. I’m sure you’ve garnered loads of praise, but I won’t hesitate to add to it: I think this is a brilliant story.
I wish you would continue with a sequel or a spin-off. Alex’s last sentences leave the reader wanting so much more! Plus, we’ll never really find out who The One is for Vivi! I know so many people would want another novel from the Season.
You’re absolutely brilliant, and thank you for writing such a great novel!
November 8th, 2011 at 12:42 pm
WE AGREE! There should be a sequel to “The Season”! Don’t leave us hanging! The readers have spoken!
November 12th, 2011 at 6:42 am
Sarah,
i am a very big reader, i adore reading and when i saw the season i couldn’t wait to start reading it. Now, i understand you have no plans for a sequel or more, but please please please take it to heart. many of your fans wish it much, and i loved it. i’m 12, and i have been thinking of the season. i keep wishing i could just disappear into it, i got so carried away. i stayed up until 3 AM to finish it. (on a weekend.) please write a series. Gavin, Alex, Ella Vivi and everyone else deserve more adventures. and the readers deserve more maclean.
November 12th, 2011 at 6:49 am
Oh, and who did the picture of the girls on the cover? it’s very good? or was it a picture taken?
November 14th, 2011 at 9:19 pm
Don’t worry i figured out. Um, in the last few sentences in the season, alex says ‘on my next adventure i’ll have you by mu side.’ does that mean there will be another???
November 29th, 2011 at 6:57 pm
There needs to be a sequel! The Season was just to good to stop now!
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:11 am
I love the season sarah!!! but it would be AWESOME if there was a sequel…. please what happenes with alex and gavin? will vivi and ella find true love? will stanhope fall head over heels for the ‘one’?
December 20th, 2011 at 10:47 pm
Sarah I love the book the season! It is just fantastic!! It’s defiantly one of the best books I have ever read! I have read the season over and over aging because I love it sooooooo much! Please please think about writing a sequel! It’s just to good of a story to stop there! There are so many unanswered questions like what happens to Alex and Gavin and Ella and Vivian! I am begging you to write another book!
December 21st, 2011 at 7:53 pm
I just wanted to add my two cents to what everyone else is saying and say I hope you change your mind about doing a Sequel or Two for The Season. IMHO since Alex, Vivi and Ella are best friends and grew up together it seems unfair that only Alex gets her HEA.
January 15th, 2012 at 5:19 pm
I loved the season. Is there going to be a sequel?
February 15th, 2012 at 6:27 pm
S’il vous plaît écrire plus de livres !
Just kidding. I speak English. It says “please write more books!”
February 15th, 2012 at 6:56 pm
Plus de livres pour les ados sont à venir, Jessica! Restez à l’écoute!
(Should have some news in the next few months!)
February 17th, 2012 at 9:34 am
I loved this book it was amasing to read and to experience i felt as if i was there i cant stop reading it ive read it over and over to the piont were i know almost every word i hope there well be another one i want to see gavin and alexandras love grow
February 28th, 2012 at 9:42 pm
I completely agree! It was a fantastic book! It’s incredibly realistic. Being a Britt myself I found it very easy to relate with the events. It absolutely exquisit. I’m not a fan of ramances, but this one was exceptional. I do hope you write another!
April 22nd, 2012 at 6:03 pm
I loved the book The Season and have read all your other books they are great I hope you make a book to tell us what happens to Vivian , Ella , Alex. Please:)
May 3rd, 2012 at 6:25 pm
I CAN’T WAIT FOR ANOTHER YA BOOK!!! Love The Season, by the way. i borrowed it from my school library and it is AMAZING!
May 12th, 2012 at 10:48 am
I really want to know why you aren’t wanting to make another book for THE SEASON, I will say that this has been one of my favorite novels, and that’s saying alot since I don’t even like historical fiction at all! But when I saw that cover I knew that I should give it a try. My favorite types of books are mystery, and romance, and even though it did take place back in the past… it was interesting! I want to read a second book because on the last page Alex says, “Because, on my NEXT adventure, I’ll have you by my side.” when I read that I was celebrating because it sounded like you were giving the reader a hint that there might be more to come. I just REALLY REALLY hope that I will be able to see more of Alex and Gavin in the future please!
