Bluebell asked Bill Konigsberg:

Hi, Bill! I've read Openly Straight and Out of the pocket this weekend and I loved the books! But most of all, I LOVED Ben and I LOVED Bobby! You created such gentle, yet very strong-willed characters! I know there's a sequel for Openly Straight (can't wait)! But I'm dying to know how did Bobby's life turn out? Did he get into a good college? Did he get to play professionally?!

Bill Konigsberg Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed Ben and Bobby especially. You'll get to read about Ben, as you know. As for Bobby, I can't really say. Once you stop writing about a character, as a writer you wonder the same thing... what could have been? What would have happened? I'll leave it open, in case some day someone wants to make a movie of it!
