The Story Behind It's Not Over by Willow Rose

By Willow Rose

The idea for this book came to me with the recent focus on the Madeleine McCann case again.

To those of you who might not know, it was the story of a three-year-old girl who went missing from a hotel room in Portugal in 2007 while her parents were having dinner in a restaurant nearby, and she slept in the hotel room. She was never found, and now there seem to be new theories about who took her, and German police believe they have found the killer.

That case has been haunting to me for many years, and I remember especially watching the parents during press conference after press conference, interview after interview, as the McCanns were under intense scrutiny and allegations of involvement in their daughter's death, especially by the tabloid media. People kept looking at the mother and said that she didn't cry enough, that she didn't show enough emotion.

I recently thought to myself, what if it happened again? What if they had another child, and ten years later, that one disappeared too? It would be pretty hard at this point not to look very closely at the parents. It would be tough for the media and public opinion not to conclude that something had to be very off with those parents.
Something like this doesn't happen twice, and to the same people, does it?

Interview with Lauren Blakely, author of The What If Guy

What can you tell us about your new release, The What If Guy?

The What If Guy answers a question about the power of eye contact. If you run into someone at a restaurant, a store, on the street, and you have a moment, can it turn into something more? Of course, it also answers the question what happens if you accidentally bang your new boss!

What’s the last book you read?

The last book I read is Ignite by Kim Loraine. It's a fantastic romance with a firefighting cowboy hero and a spitfire of a heroine who was working through some of her challenges in life on the way to love.

What's rocking your world this month?

What's rocking my world this month is the audiobook of Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall, narrated by Joe Jameson. His narration is fantastic, with just the right nuance and character differentiation and the story is an utter delight. I love every second of it!

What's in your Netflix queue?

In my Netflix queue is Indian Matchmaking. My husband and I started bingeing it a couple of days ago, and we are absolutely loving the characters, the insight, and the storytelling.

What scene in The What If Guy was your favorite to write?

My favorite scenes in The What If Guy are the ones where Logan and Bryn strip away all the artifices of dating and talk honestly to each other about what they want for the future. As well as the scenes with the cats.

Lauren Blakely is the author of the new book The What If Guy.
