1) Why did you choose to create a main character/protagonist Evelyn that only becomes likeable during the last few pages?

2) The battle of “old money” versus “new money,” can one be better than another isn’t it all just money in the end?

3) Are you writing from personal experience, or did you have to do a lot of research to figure out the language and the ways of the Upper East Siders?

4) Were your characters purely fictional or did you base some characteristics off real people?

5) From your research or personal experience, would you say people actually behave like Evelyn or has it just been exaggerated for story purposes?
