Zibby Books Author Alert!! Ava Dellaira, EXPOSURE: A Novel
from Totally Booked with Zibby
Zibby Books author alert! Zibby welcomes Ava Dellaira to discuss her powerful and provocative new novel, EXPOSURE. Ava delves into her protagonists, Noah, a Black high school senior, and Juliette, a white college freshman, who go home together after a night of drinking. Twelve years later, Juliette’s best friend Annie accuses Noah of raping Juliette—and the story breaks into multiple viewpoints and timelines, exploring themes of race, artistic ambition, grief, and the co-existence of conflicting truths. Ava shares how the start of the #MeToo movement, her personal grief, and motherhood shaped this story. She also talks about her background in photography, the loss of her mother, and her writing journey (including her popular YA novels!).
