Sasha Bley-Vroman answers “Rainbow Rowell said that she would like to...”

Ria Olivar asked this question about Eleanor & Park:

Rainbow Rowell said that she would like to write a sequel which is set 10 to 15 years later. Since it is set when they are older, it will have much different vibe from the book. Will you still buy and read the sequel if that is the case?

I've already imagined their future as far as college: I think they go to college together, but once there, who knows? Starting college as a couple will give them a big boost in confidence but might slow their mingling. I think Eleanor will learn to dress less defensively, and how far will Park take his make-up? Instead of being the only two people with their views and interests, they'll find whole groups they overlap with. And maybe not all the same groups for the two of them. And that's only one year later! Over to you, Rainbow Rowell! We trust you.(less)
