I love the way you write, and our book club is obsessed with all of your books. In stories like After I Do, and One True Loves, do you know what the end result will be when you start writing, or does it develop in the process? I'm always so torn at the end, but I usually favor one outcome (Team Sam).

I always know the end of a book before I start writing. I don't know much that happens in the middle but I know the beginning and the ending.
It makes it much easier to write toward that conclusion and take the reader on a satisfying experience.
Of course, sometimes, halfway through a book, I'll get a cockamamie idea to change the ending completely. But that normally lasts for about two days before I realize my first idea was the better idea.

Hi! Evelyn Hugo seems like a bit of a departure from your other books, both in setting and even tone. Do you see your writing style evolving? If so, what direction do you see yourself going? (I think it is inspiring to see authors stretch the boundaries of their niche!)
