It would be awesome for them to have another adventure together. I get really fed up whenever they break up or there is an issue… Can’t they just be together and help each other solve a problem?? Didn’t some of the sequels to Pride and Prejudice (not the ones written by Jane Austen) they got married and had kids and solved problems?

Greetings Claire. How are you? Hopefully, great. I remember getting this book on October 19 which was my birthday that I shared with my cousin. After opening all the presents and cake, I went into my room and predicted what the book would be about. So, I began reading up to page 21, and I had already loved the book. So, after October 19, I began reading it again and I made it to page 37. This book is a page turner. I’m so addicted to reading your books. They just remind of real life events that could happen with peoples lives. Your amazingly an awesome author. I wish I was just like you. But, sadly I’m not that creative and talented. Right now, I’m already done with the book and I’m begging my cousin to read this book so, it could be passed down to generation and to generation. Your book will never get old to me. I never really liked books until, you made Epic Fail. I think you should make an book called Epic Fail 2. But, the older version of Elise and Derek. I would love to read another book of Epic Fail. – Frances Lee Vain xoxo

Hi Claire. Your books are page turners to me. So far, the books that I have made by you are The Smart One and The Pretty, and Epic Fail. I have finished both. And, I’m totally looking forward to getting new books from you this year. ♥

Thanks, Julie! It’s a strange dedication, I know. It’s basically a reference to my husband’s investment club–that’s the simple answer, anyway!

Hi there. I too came across this thread by good ‘ol google! I am an emetephobe but am finding it increasingly difficult to live with since my 4 Year old daughter was born. The dreaded bug is circling our town yet again so now my heads in a complete spin just waiting for it to hit our house! I homestly feel like Im going insane with worry sometimes! Its definitely the not knowing thats the worst. I have no words of advice or measures to help avoid it but just wanted to share my thoughts. I read that a pharmaceutical company are working on a Norovirus vaccine but as there are so many strains of the virus its still a few years away from release to the general public! Im sure like me you fellow emetephobes cannot wait for that day!!!! No more worry – life would be perfect! I have had CBT for my phobia which did help initially but I personally think it is impossible to cure Our minds are great at controlling us. Hope everyone manages a healthy winter! Roll in Spring xxxxx

My book club just finished our discussion of “Families and Other Nonreturnable Gifts.” We thoroughly enjoyed the book.One question – could you explain your dedication?My co-workers thought it might be a reference to something/someone/somewhere in the Boston area. I am from Boston and don’t make any connections to the reference.Would you be willing to discuss the dedication?

Again, we enjoyed “Families ” and celebrated Keats’ leap of independence.Now on to Epic Fail.

Thanks, Amanda, for all those thoughts. You will get a glimpse into Elise and Derek’s future with this post I’ve written for Valentine’s Day, I promise! But you’re right: there’s still a lot of story to explore here! Thanks for writing.

Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design. Kudos

I am notoriously paranoid when it comes to sickness in general, but especially stomach sickness as I’ve had stomach problems most of my life. When I get a bug like the stomach virus, it hits hard! I am currently in a state of panic because the facility where I was helping move my dad recently had an outbreak, and my brother who was with me the entire time helping was sick all through the night last night. I am currently at work and the thought of dealing with being sick at work (which coincidentally enough is a hospital, but still…) is terrifying. Driving home feeling ill would be the worst! I am currently torn between whether to leave early or stick it out. On the one hand, I would feel silly for leaving early, canceling a meeting, etc. for paranoia, yet on the other, it’s driving me crazy worrying when it will hit me, and if it does, I’d surely rather be in the comforts of home than in the office. Glad to know I’m not the only one who freaks out over this kind of thing. Wish we had already gotten past the stomach bug as a species from an evolutionary standpoint, it’s definitely one of my worst fears.
