Hi Jennifer! I am a huge fan of this book and really can't wait for the movie adaptation. I absolutely love the casting of Elle Fanning as Violet Markey. Do you have a shortlist for Finch that you can share with us? Also, I saw that you're writing the screenplay, will you also have some producer/creative control over the film?

Jennifer Niven Thank you so much for reading! I'm so happy you love the idea of Elle Fanning as Violet. Did you know that Elle was who I pictured when I was writing the book? Unfortunately, I can't share the Finch shortlist right now, but I'm dying to! Just know that I take reader suggestions very seriously, and many readers have suggested some great actors who are now on our list. (How's that for a sort of hint?) Yes, I'm writing the script and I'm thrilled about it! The director and producers are being so lovely to include me in the casting process and other behind-the-scenes matters, so that I feel very involved in the creative process, which makes it even more exciting. :) xxxx
