Adib Khorram answered Amanda Raybon's question: I got I'll Have What He's Having in a blind date with a book from my local bookstore and I LOVED IT! I've been to Kansas City once but now I really want to go back. I hope to read more adult fiction from you in the future! DO you have plans for more? I'm so glad you enjoyed it and definitely hope you visit KC again! As for more adult books, yes! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
