Hello. So, I would think it's the decent thing to say "I just finished 'Where The Light Goes'", but the truth is that I've read it FOURTEEN times. I know it's not nearly your most popular book, but it's really my favorite. I just think that's the kind of book I need to have close to me at all times. My confort book. 100% recommended to anyone reading this review. Sarah, I love your book so much you don't know. ?
Sara Barnard What a lovely message! Thank you so much <3

Hi Sara! Big fan here. How many sequels are there for "Fragile Like Us/Beautiful Broken Things"? I read it and I fell in love with the trio. How many sequels are there or any stories with Rosie, Suzanne, and Caddy? I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! <3
Sara Barnard Hello! I'm so glad you love the trio :) There are two follow up novels – Fierce Fragile Hearts is from Suzanne's POV and Something Certain, Maybe is from Rosie's POV <3

I love your books Sara! I would love to know where the inspiration for your books comes from?! (I am an aspiring author.) From your head or are they based on people you know or even yourself? I'm halfway through fierce fragile hearts at the moment. :)
Sara Barnard Thank you! The inspiration changes from book to book, but it's usually very character-led. They are always from my own head and not based on anyone I know! I don't think they would feel as authentic if I was basing them on real people!

Hey Sara! i am obsessed with you books!! I love em quick question..in the book beautiful broken things, do Suzanne and caddy still keep in contact or did they stop talking to each other after Suzanne moved away? btw I loved that book.. I even cried in the end, it was amazing
Sara Barnard Hi there! Thank you so much :) You can actually read all about what happened after Beautiful Broken Things in the follow-up companion novel, Fierce Fragile Hearts! It's from Suzanne's perspective this time, and it's set two years later!

Sara Barnard Thank you so much! :) There aren't any plans for a sequel, I'm afraid!

Hi Sara, one of my favorite books of yours is the beautiful broken series. I just finished reading Fierce Fragile Hearts and it absolutely astonished me with how you chose to continue the life of Suzanne, I loved how you wrote about her struggle with mental illness and you allowed us the follow her along on the journey of young adulthood. Is there a possibility for another book?
Sara Barnard Hello! Thank you! There's always a possibility but to be honest it's very unlikely that there'll be another book for the girls. Much as I'd love to write one, they've aged out of the YA bracket now, which complicates things from a publishing point of view. It's something that's out of my control, unfortunately!

Hi Sara. I just finished reading "Goodbye, Perfect" and I absolutely loved it! Are you thinking of continuing with the story, with Bonnie's perspective? I think that would be very interesting to see.
Sara Barnard Hello! Thank you! There are no plans to continue the story at this stage but I wouldn't rule out one day exploring Bonnie's perspective. I think that would be very interesting too!

Hey Sara, maybe you can help. im in the US and trying to find the audiobook of BBT and Audible and overdrive and others have removed it. I found t on other country audibles but can't buy it because its restricted from buying it in my country if my cc address or mauiling address is US. Any ideas where I can find it?? Thanks for the reply and all the great books!
Sara Barnard Hi Scott! Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to get the audiobook of BBT in the US - it's published under a different title there and an audio version hasn't been produced. I'm not sure what to suggest because I've had the same problem trying to get audio versions of American books that aren't available here in the UK! All I can suggest is contacting my American publisher (Simon Pulse) to ask them? Sorry I can't be more help!

Hi Sara. I need your help, I've been trying so hard to add new quotes from Beautiful Broken Things but when I type your name and the books related to the author shows up, it never shows any of your books. Do you know how can you help me?
Sara Barnard Hello! Thank you for asking this question and for wanting to add quotes :) Unfortunately for me, the other Sara Barnard registered on GR first, so she always comes up if you put in Sara Barnard! What you need to do is write Sara Barnard << with two spaces! Then press return, and it should give you a list of my books. Hope that helps! :)

I checked on Amazon to buy A Quiet Kind of Thunder ( for a giveaway I will do in my blog) and I could not find a copy sold by Amazon, and the one I have has the description of an Iphone cover. Do you have the right link to get this book? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1509810986/ref=x_gr_w_bb?ie=UTF8&tag=x_gr_w_bb-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1509810986&SubscriptionId=1MGPYB6YW3HWK55XCGG2
Sara Barnard Hi Mariela - I'm not sure why that's coming up as an Iphone cover! It may be better to try another online bookseller like the Book Depository? Thanks!
