Elixir (novel)
Elixir is a young adult novel co-written by American singer, actress, fashion designer and writer Hilary Duff. It was available at booksellers on October 12, 2010. It is the first in a series of books that Duff is committed to do. Elise Allen collaborated on the first book with Duff, and became committed to work jointly with her on the others. The book is now a New York Times Bestseller.
Creation process
Duff said, in an interview she gave to Seventeen Magazine about the creation of Elixir, I have been playing with the idea for a few years now. It's a lot of fun and at the same time, very challenging. Duff informed the magazine that she had had the idea in her mind for a long time, first with a series of short scripts, but then, following encouragement from her mother, she decided to convert the concept into a book, recruiting Elise Allen to assist her with the writing.
About the paranormal aspect of Elixir, Duff remarked: I have always been interested in the paranormal and afterlife, everything from ghosts to angels. I think that everyone has that curiosity of the great unknown. It is fun to add the paranormal element because there aren't any limits to what you can do.
Reviews
Star Magazine gave Elixir 3 out of 4 stars, being positively surprised with Duff's writing.[2] The New York Post wrote, It has everything: romance and the supernatural; a globe-trotting Hillary Clinton-esque mom; characters with names like Sage and Clea...and a shout-out to Page Six! [3] MTV's Book Report gave Elixir a very positive review, saying it was ready for another dose of Elixir, meaning its reviewers could not wait for the follow up novel. MTV also said that Elixir is crying out for a movie adaptation and suggested that maybe Hilary Duff herself should take the main role.[4] Elixir also hit the New York Times' Best Sellers List at #10 in Children's Chapter Books for one week, then leaving the list.[5]
Sequels
Duff had already stated multiple times that she would write a couple of sequels to Elixir, all in collaboration with Allen. In an interview with CosmoGirl! Magazine, she said: Clea has been on an emotional rollercoaster, so that is probably where the next book will start. Clea will need to find a way to pick her self up and put the pieces of her life back together. Who knows how long that could take? And what her next move will be? Hopefully her dreams will guide her. IF she can dream. But she had said that she had not set anything in stone as yet and that she and her co-writer, Allen, were simply playing around with different ideas.[6]
