I Loved the Out of the easy and Between shades of grey very much and gave them high ratings, i own lots of books and they are my favorites out of all of them , and i wanted to ask, is there a second part to Out of the easy, because i felt that there were many maybes at the end of the book and would like to know what will happen when Josie returns , so will there be a second book?

Thank you!
Yes, I think there could definitely be a follow up to "Out of the Easy." I have continuing stories outlined for each one of the characters. I've been thinking of perhaps creating a volume of short stories - one per character - to show the continuation of each personal journey. "Out of the Easy" was such a complete joy to write. I'm dying to come back to it.

Hi, Ruta! OUT OF THE EASY is one of my all-time favorite YA books, and I have recommended it to so many people. Loved BETWEEN SHADES OF GRAY as well and have SALT TO THE SEA at the top of my TBR pile. So my question is, can I get a commission on your OOTE sales? Haha, just kidding. My question is, do you have any advice for making sure one's characters have distinct voices? Thank you!

Hi Ruta! So far I have only read "Out of the Easy" from you and I absolutely LOVED it! I can't wait to read your other books. Your writing is beautiful and completely engaging. My question is: how did you get the idea for "Out of the Easy" and what is your writing process like? I am a Creative Writing minor and I'm really interested. Thank you so much! ~ Kelsey :)

Ruta Sepetys:
Hi, I love all your books, but I was wondering how you got inspiration for 'out of the easy' because the themes and settings which it is based on aren't very common for YA fiction. That was one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much, as it gave me insight into a different aspect of the past and how people lived. Were there any particular reasons that made you so interested in it? Thanks, Emily
