Lily asked Leah Thomas:

I just heard that you wrote a sequel (before BYNMM was released might I add) and I'M SO PUMPED! I /LOVED/ BYNMM sososososo much (enough that I assigned it as our current book club book) and I'm just so happy! So I was just wondering how you came up with the idea for the...trilogy?? Are the characters based on anyone? If you could spend a day with one of them, which one would it be?

Leah Thomas Lily, I'm sorry for the late reply!

Thanks so much for the book club plug, and I hope it went well for you all those months ago. The characters aren't specifically based on anyone, although they do share some traits with people near and dear to me. If I could spend the day with any one of them, it would probably be Molly, Fieke, or Arthur.

I just finished Because You'll Never Meet Me, and I fell in love with Ollie and Mortiz. I will hopefully be getting Nowhere Near Me soon also. It was a beautiful novel and I think you did a amazing job. I have two questions for you. One, where did you get the idea for Because You'll Never Meet Me, and two, will this book ever hit the big screen and become a movie? (Please tell me yes!)

Hi! I'm new to this site since so I'm sorry if I'm messing up. I just HAD to sign up when I saw you were active on here (although I'm not sure if you are anymore/how old this is) since your twitter username printed in the book doesn't show up? I just wanted to say as a person with epilepsy and in a long distance friendship I nearly cried when reading the book. Is your twitter still up?

Eli asked Leah Thomas:

One of my favourite things about Because You'll Never Meet Me is how is gracefully sidesteps the dreaded monster of cliché. As a young writer, that is one of the things that is very challenging for me. Do you have any tips on how to avoid it?
