Development of the book
editOn October 4, 2018 HarperCollins announced a two-book[2] deal with Roth.
In an interview Roth talked about how her writing has changed. "my process is different now, because I’m learning from each book. I do a lot more planning now, a lot more outlining, a lot more research. I know what questions to ask myself before I start. That’s the thing about writing—you can learn a lot from reading, a lot from critique, but you learn the most from actually doing it.”[3]
Reception
editOne reviewer stated "Though they’re all worlds that feel ripe for more storytelling and diving into, each novella has a complete arc."[4]
