Which book ending was the hardest to write or the one you felt most conflicted about?
Taylor Jenkins Reid
Hi JJ,
You know, I'm not sure.... I find endings pretty easy. I enjoy writing the end of a book because it means I've gotten to the point in the story that I always envisioned. The middles are really tough for me. But the hardest book for me to write, including the ending, was ONE TRUE LOVES. I had an original vision for the characters that didn't work and it took me a really long time to see the book in a different way. That book still feels like one I am very close to because of how much work and heart went into it.

Taylor Jenkins Reid:
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).
