Long Live Wonderland
asked
Adrianne Finlay:
I finished Your One And Only the other day and I'm sad that I have to return it to the library because I'd rather add it to my personal library. The book was awesome! Are there any plans for a sequel? or maybe a novella about Jonah before the events of Your One And Only? Also, where did you come up with the idea for this book?

Hi Carina! Thanks for your question. I'm thrilled you liked YOUR ONE AND ONLY :)
No plans for a sequel right now, but I love the idea of a novella that's a prequel following Jonah!
I came up with the idea for the book after reading a medical ethics essay about whether, if we were able, we should clone a Neanderthal, and I was fascinated with the idea of a story where someone is brought into the world with no connection to it--no family or community or anyone who even looks liked them. Instead of writing a Neanderthal, though, I imagined a future where humans had evolved in some fundamental way, and then they bring back an earlier version of human. Everything kind of went from there!
