The Blurred Lines series by Erin McCarthy is a new adult romance series with a distinctive structure. The twelve entries alternate between full-length novels and shorter “Lines” novellas, creating a layered reading experience. The novels (You Make Me, Live for Me, Let Me In, Meant For Me, Breathe Me In) each follow a different couple, while the novellas (Distorted Lines, Crossed Lines, Dirty Lines, and others) explore secondary characters and fill in emotional gaps.
McCarthy uses the new adult framework to tell stories about young people dealing with real issues alongside their romantic entanglements. The tone is emotionally intense, and the shorter novellas give the series a rhythm that keeps the momentum going between the longer books. The alternating format rewards readers who go through the full series rather than skipping entries.
Published between 2013 and 2015, the Blurred Lines series is one of McCarthy’s most ambitious projects in terms of scope and structure. It will appeal to readers who enjoy new adult romance with depth, connected storylines, and characters who grow across multiple books.
