Booklover asked Shail Rajan:

What was your favorite scene to write in The Recipient?

Shail Rajan Thank you so much for this question! I wish I could share my favorite scene, but doing so would spoil one of the biggest twists in the book. What I *can* say is that *The Recipient* was my first time weaving suspense into a story—and writing a character who’s deeply unlikeable. Surprisingly, the scenes involving her were the most enjoyable to write. Stepping into her mindset was both challenging and creatively satisfying—like trying on a pair of shoes you’d never wear in real life, just to see how far you could walk in them.
