Sam Fish asked Catherine Ryan Hyde:

Hello Catherine, I cried so hard at the end of your book. But why is the end of the film different from the book? And where did the idea for the book come from? Did you think it would've been an ideal world or do you know someone who tought of doing this? I absolutly love your book. Much love, Sam.

Catherine Ryan Hyde Hi Sam. The people who make movies get to change the story. If it had been me making the movie it would have stayed closer to the book. Here's the link to the story idea if you want to learn more: https://www.goodreads.com/videos/7805...

I don't know anyone who thought of doing this. I just got curious as to why--since we all want to live in a kinder world--we didn't just get started and be kinder.

So glad you enjoyed the book so much!

Barb asked Catherine Ryan Hyde:

If I could give this a 6* I just finished Have You Seen Luis Velez. I just finished Just After Midnight and started this book. So I haven't done anything for 2 days because I could not put the books down. So I am not going to start Stay for a few days....and thanks for being my friend since you are the best author. My question is: How do you come up with all these great books and still ride your horse?

Ginger Robinson asked Catherine Ryan Hyde:

I can not wait til your new book comes out. I actually put the dates on my calendar so I can plan to start reading as soon as they drop. I do not know how you churn out such great fiction so very often. All of your books have been so deep and heart-felt. I could not possibly pick one favorite but among my most loved are Alle & Bea, Walk me Home, and Worthy. Thanks so much. ?????

Sandra asked Catherine Ryan Hyde:

Catherine, now that I have listened to the audiobook, "Allie and Bea," you sent me, I plan to collect every book you have written. I just posted my review and 5 stars on Goodreads for "Allie and Bea." Opps...I forgot the question mark?....won't send without it. Sincerely, Sandra Pitaniello
