Hello! I recently read your book P.S. I Like You and loved it - you're characters and family in this book is so relatable to me - and I had a question about the ending: Did Lily win the contest? I mean, she's gong to keep writing songs anyway, but it was a fact I was wondering about. I can't wait to read more of your books!

Thanks for reading P.S.! I'm so glad you liked it. (*Spoilers* ahead for those who haven't read this book) I've thought about this question before. I even thought about addressing the result of the contest in the book. But as I wrote, it became so obvious to me that it wasn't about the contest. It was about Lily finding confidence in her writing. About Lily realizing that it didn't matter if she won or not, she believed in herself either way. I didn't want a contest to have to validate her growth or acceptance of herself. So I decided not to answer that question because it didn't matter. She won the ultimate prize--self acceptance and confidence. :)
