Kylie asked Ruta Sepetys:

"Between Shades of Gray" and "Out Of The Easy" are some my favorite books. I saw that some people on twitter have gotten your book that will come out in February this year "Salt To The Sea". I was wondering how they were able to get it and if there will be a change to get it before February? Thank you!

Ruta Sepetys Hi Scarlett!

Yes, SALT TO THE SEA, will be published in the US on February 9th. My US publisher has released some advance review copies to journalists and booksellers, that's why there's a few floating around. I believe there will be some galleys by the end of July and I will certainly post some giveaways on Goodreads.

I'm excited for you to read the new book. I'm still sad that the writing process is technically finished. Just as with my other books, I became so attached to the characters. :)

All of the women in this book are very strong in their own ways. Bad circumstances often make people stronger, but some survive because of their inner strength. How important was it for you to show strong female characters?

Alvina asked Ruta Sepetys:

Hi Ruta! I read all your books and Salt to The Sea is my favorite. I wonder why you make the main character related with Lina in Between Shades of Gray? Is there any spesific reason? Would you make the character in your next book related with character in your other book again?
