Hello!! It's been maybe 2 years since I've read IWWV and it still has me in a chokehold. Thank you for writing such a gripping novel! Are there any books/music/shows or other media forms that you've consumed that also left you feeling the same way that you'd like readers to know?
M.L. Rio
My first thought is Iris Murdoch's THE BOOK AND THE BROTHERHOOD. It's dated and dense but I loved every page and it once made me scream out loud on a crowded bus, and if that's not a ringing endorsement I don't know what is. Another might be Lily King's EUPHORIA.

Hello. I LOVED your novel. The characters have stayed with me for months after I read it. I am a PhD student in literature and I enjoy the literary aspects of your novel, but I find it hard to find books that quote other literary figures. Do you have any book recommendation that feature other literary figures and works?

Hi! Thank you so much for writing my favourite book. I'm also very glad that you put so much emphasis on ambiguity and allowing readers to make their own interpretations; to me this encapsulates the whole beauty of literature and I'm very glad it's so open-ended. ANYWAY, I was wondering how different your first draft was from the final product? Did the plot change much, or did it follow the same outline throughout?

Heyy! I can't tell you with words how much I loved this book and how much it meant to me, so let me ask you, have you permanently closed this project? Have you ever thought about making a prequel? Maybe on the third year or even how the group formed and how they met. I just feel like it would be so nice and I know for a fact lots of people will appreciate it, I just need to know what happened in Del Norte 💌
