1 what inspired the idea of your story? 

I grew up in an immigrant community. Although, at first, this was not going to be a part of the story, once I started writing about Riley and what she was facing, I couldn't help let my experiences slip in.

 2 what was something you struggled with for your story ? 

The story is funny and is at its center is a romcom, but it does have deep plotlines. So, it was difficult trying to balance the humor and the more serious topics that lingered in the background. 

3 what has been the overall response to your story from your readers?

 I think they all fell in love with my two main characters, they are a bunch of goofball. Overall I think they enjoyed the lighthearted nature and the occasional emotional punch. 

4 what did you enjoy writing most of your story?

The characters, they really grew on me as the story went on. It was sad to let them go at the end.

 5 is your story a stand alone novel or a piece of a series?

 Stand alone, although I was playing with the idea of a spin off. 

6 what would you like your readers to take away from your story?

 I would like them to feel compassion for my main character and leave feeling like she deserves the happiness she got. 

7 what's a piece of advice you would provide to another writer, when it comes to focusing on their story?

 Let the character and what makes them unique guide the story. It can take you to interesting places.

They are goofballs, and love making stupid jokes...

Noah's abs, I told you...stupid joke.
