This book touched me in more ways than one....I'm still replaying everything and it breaks my heart they spent 15 years apart. Why 15 years? Is there a reason behind the choice of so many years? Also, I'd like to thank you for making me reconnect with Jeff Buckley's music, it gave me a warm feeling reading about Grace & Matt's love and listening to JB again. Thank you!
Renee Carlino
Ahh, yes, Jeff Buckley, I'm so glad you found him. I actually have a very simple answer to your question. I started Matt and Grace at thirty-six because it was the age I was at when I wrote the book. It made getting inside the character's minds much easier. So it was automatically fifteen years from the end of college. Truly, no other reason than that. Thank you so much for reading and being a part of this journey with me. xoxo, Renee

Hi Renee! I discovered you last year and you've become one of my favorite authors. I love the fact that your storylines aren't the standard, cliche, predictable ones like many other writers AND in New York! It's different and interesting and I love it. But my question is, how do you manage to deviate from the predictable norm that most authors do? What inspires you?
