Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ asked Ruta Sepetys:

Have you ever thought about visiting Lithuania for a vacation? If so, what are your favorite things to do there?

Ruta Sepetys Hi Elizabeth!

When I visit Lithuania it's generally for work, but I'd love to go on vacation there. If I did, I think I'd spend time in Nida and Neringa on the Baltic Sea. :)

While Between Shades of Grey was set during a significant historical event (WWII), Out of the Easy does not seem to be in the same way. What made you choose the 1950s, and in particular a brothel, to write about?

Debra Olsen asked Ruta Sepetys:

I know that the displaced Lithuanians suffered horribly under the Soviets but what I found most horrifying about your novel was that the victims upon returning home were still in prison. How long was it in the Baltic Countries before people could communicate with each other about the inhumanity they had suffered. When did the truth come out, verbally, not in buried writings and art?
