(view spoiler)[Are you planning to write a sequel to The Field Guide...Teenager? This book was so delightfully witty and revelatory, and since it was left open-ended... I thought that in the final chapters, Norris might remove all the previous notebook pages and list all Maddie's wonderful qualities, then those he'd finally come to realize about Liam, Patrick, etc. saying this is the real truth. And perhaps a love triangle too... (hide spoiler)]

Thanks for the kind words! There are no sequels planned at the moment.
Although, I do love these messed up kids. Norris was just one more person with baggage walking into Anderson High: they all have their own equally messy lives in my head. In a perfect world, a sequel would focus on one of these other characters with NK as a supporting character. Be it the cheerleader ready to be a little selfish, the manic pixie with a reputation, or Liam, who is low-key my favorite. Meredith & Pat have a whole thing, too. There's a notebook somewhere...
Anyway, no official sequel at the moment, ha. Ask me again in a few years?

Also, I really loved how you created your characters, Norris, Maddie, Liam, and Felix all had to be my favorite characters, and that all had such depth to them I felt like they were real, and I love how the events occur, and just everything! But if you were to make a sequel, please do it in my lifetime because I am literally praying you create another masterpiece, thank you. But what was you’re favorite part?

I ab-soo-loot-ley LOVED this book! I can honestly relate to Norris as being a witty, "comical" person. And the friends he met along the way, Liam (my favorite), Maddie (also my favorite) and Aarti (whichhhh im kinda mixed with her). But at the ending, it was left off a cliffhanger. I was just wondering if you were planning on making a sequel to this friggin' awesome YA book? Seriously though, I think you should!
