Hello Ava. I really enjoyed the people that you chose for Laurel to write her letters too (particularly Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, and River Phoenix). So I was wondering, were there any other people that you would have liked to use, but couldn't?

Hi Danielle,
Thanks for the question! Yes, in earlier drafts of the book there were others (like Jimi Hendrix, Emily Dickinson, Patsy Cline). I loved them all, but as the narrative became more focused, so did the letter recipients that were right for the story.
