Hello, I am a rather new fan of your book, but even so I had read all of them bar from three (which I intend to read as soon as I can get my hands on them). I was wondering, do you ever feel the want to change the location of your books from Texas? And also, do you think that you will ever revisit some of the characters in your earlier books like Get Lucky or Bright Side Of Disaster?

Hi Grace!! I probably won't go back and revisit characters from those early books . . . mostly just because it's been so long! I feel stronger connections with my most recent books and characters. But never say never!! Sometimes characters just show up and start talking to you—and I always honor when that happens by trying to write down whatever it is they want to say. :) As for the Texas question . . . a lot of my books are set in Texas, yes—but not all! Hapiness for beginners is set in Wyoming and Evanston, Illinois. Things You Save in a Fire is mostly set near Boston. And my next-summer book, The Rom-Commers, is set largely in L.A. ! That said, it's always tempting to set books in Texas, since I've lived here all my life and know it so well!

Thank you for this wonderful book, and I can't wait to read your new release. In this book, Cassie mentions (near the end) reading a book about post-traumatic growth, and I wonder if you know of a good book of that nature to recommend? Thank you for handling trauma so well in your books.

I adored your book How To Walk Away. Some writers can’t capture the emotions of such a harrowing experience but I felt like I was reading a personal memoir. Did you speak with an actual person who had gone through this in addition to your research? What did your research look like? This book could of read so dry but it didn’t. It was very realistic. Kudos for that! Started reading The Lost Husband.
