I can’t believe it’s been a month since Will They or Won’t They was published!! I’m so excited to share the bonus epilogue I wrote for Lilah and Shane. Here’s a little bit of background about it from a previous newsletter:
I’m not sure if this counts as a spoiler, but WTOWT doesn’t have an epilogue at all. Back when I was working on the first draft, I had a lightly sketched placeholder epilogue in there, but I wasn’t really feeling it, so I ended up scrapping it and fleshing out the last chapter to have epilogue energy instead. Even though it’s a convention of romance novel structure, their story felt complete to me without one.
I was also, frankly, feeling extremely burnt out from the process of writing this book. If I’d forced myself to write an epilogue just for the sake of having one, it probably wouldn’t have been any good. Having some time away from the characters was exactly what I needed to have fun checking in on them again, and I had a LOT of fun writing this. I hope you’ll have fun reading it!! My editor sent me an email about it that was so nice it made me cry!
Enjoy! (password: intangible)
