Kathleen Souza asked Tammara Webber:

I loved Easy and Breakable. Many authors are writing two sides of the same story. How do you keep up with the timeline so both books match?

Tammara Webber Thank you, Kathleen - I'm glad you enjoyed it. I didn't intend to write Lucas's story - he didn't speak to me while I was writing Easy, and honestly I'm glad he didn't. Easy needed to be Jacqueline's story alone. I decided to write Breakable when Lucas began telling me his story, which didn't happen until about a year after I published Easy. Writing Breakable was something of a technical nightmare since I chose to alternate POVs between Landon and Lucas within the book. I wanted the emotional parts of those two stories to mesh, as well as allowing Lucas's story to enhance Jacqueline's story instead of just retelling it. I bought a huge bulletin board and wrote index cards with bullet points for each section of each chapter, using different colors for Landon and Lucas and detailing which Easy scenes I intended to rewrite and where they had to go.
