Hi, Kimberly! First, thank you. As a queer young adult myself, I was 100% not expecting Amelia to be gay, and the reveal made me so happy that I literally cheered. My question is, what was up with Dylan? I upset that she was ignored towards the end of the novel, because (through Amelia) I'd really grown to care about her! Did she suffer from a mental illness of some kind? I'd love to know. Thanks so much!

Kimberly McCreight:
Reconstructing Amelia is such a unique story. The way you told it left us guessing at every turn and waiting anxiously to find out what really happened and why. How did you come up with this story? Did it come to you all at once or did you have to think about it and go back and forth on how to handle the story?

My favourite part about reconstructing Amelia was the complicated relationship between Kate and Amelia and the ongoing question of whether parents really ever know their children. Was it difficult to write from multiple perspectives or did you feel it was the obvious choice for this story?
