Ishi C asked K.L. Walther:

UGH I'm in love with TSOBR!! Here's my question: why'd you make Wit/Stephen SO loveable? I read this book in January 2023 (it's April 2023 now) and I can't stop thinking about him! How am I supposed to find someone when they have to live up to my expectations? He set the bar too high. eyeroll p.s. I bought orange shampoo

K.L. Walther You bought orange shampoo? I LOVE IT.

As most readers know, TSOBR is partially inspired by Taylor Swift's "Hey Stephen." The song has always been one of my favorites, I always sing along, and I've ALWAYS had a hypothetical personality for the Stephen in the song. To me, he is summer and sunshine and unconditional love and support in human form. There was never a chance Wit would be anything but a pure delight!

You also will find someone. I promise. <3

Has anyone ever mentioned TSOBR would make a really good movie?? I am a firm believer that the book is ALWAYS better than the movie. BUT your writing made it SO easy for me to imagine the characters in my head. It would be a tear-jerker of a movie!!! I LOVED it! I just started Maybe Meant To Be today! :)
