Marie asked Simone Elkeles:

When did you start writing, and when did you realize it was something you wanted to do more than for your own distraction? Did you ever think you'll be an amazing and successful published author when you started? :)

Simone Elkeles I started writing when I was 30. I'm sorry to say I didn't love reading as a teen but I fell in love with reading and writing as an adult. I never think I'm an amazing writer and I'm always trying to learn and get better. I am so thankful and humbled at my success. Without readers like you I wouldn't be where I am so thank you!

Debra Elsner asked Simone Elkeles:

I really enjoyed the YA series How to Ruin series; I am wondering will you write a book about Avi and Amy 5 years into their relationship?. I am interesting in knowing how they combined their lives.. I grew up and lived in Israel and enjoyed reading these books.

Allison Greggs asked Simone Elkeles:

I love all of your books. From the how to ruin series, perfect chemistry series, paradise and wild cards. Currently re-reading them all again for the millionth time. They're all unique and tell such different, interesting stories. How do you come up with your ideas? Huge fan and aspiring writer inspired by your stories. :)
