Emma asked Kasie West:

Just finished By Your Side, and yet again another masterpiece , your writing is so beautiful ,I always finish your books in one sitting , that's how much I get hooked to them. But I wanted to ask what inspired this story?

Kasie West Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. This story was inspired by my time spent in the Provo Library in Utah. I usually do signings there every summer and one summer I looked at my friends (who sign with me) and said, this would be the perfect library to be locked inside for a weekend (because it's beautiful and big and a little creepy). And my friend Renee Collins said, with a boy. And then I knew I had to write that book.
