Rainbow Rowell:
I really want to read your books, but I don't know where to start, so which one would you suggest starting with?
Rainbow Rowell
Hmmmm... what are you in the mood for?
'Attachments' is the lightest, I think. Good for people who feel like they need to get a life (as soon as they figure out what that means). Funny (I hope) supporting characters.
Do you like to cry? 'Eleanor & Park,' then.
I find 'Fangirl' really reassuring. Slow burn love story. Lots of sweaters. An interesting structure.
'Landline' is a sneakily serious romcom. 'It's a Wonderful Life' + 'Back to the Future,' about married people.
And 'Carry On' is my favorite.

Rainbow Rowell:
Would you ever consider writing in another anthology (like you did with My True Love Gave to Me)? Or would you ever consider writing your own book of short stories? I feel like you would do a really good job at that, especially since I loved your story in My True Love Gave To Me.
