The Moment of Letting Go Q & A with J.A. Redmerski

THE MOMENT OF LETTING GO by J.A. Redmerski (August 11, 2015; Forever Trade Paperback)

You can follow the rules or you can follow your heart...Sienna Murphy never does anything without a plan. And so far her plans have been working. Right after college, she got a prestigious job and gained the stability she'd always craved-until work takes her to the sun-drenched shores of Oahu and places her in the path of sexy surfer Luke Everett. For the first time, she lets her heart take control. Drawn to his carefree charm, she makes a spontaneous and very un-Sienna-like decision to drop everything and stay in Hawaii for two more weeks.

Luke lives fast and wild. When he meets Sienna, he's convinced that some no-strings-attached fun is just what she needs. As their nights quickly turn from playful to passionate, Luke can't deny the deep connection he feels. But there's a reason Luke doesn't do long-term. He can't promise Sienna forever, when the enormity of his past has shown him just how fragile the future can be . . .


MY REVIEW

Twenty percent in the book and I get the familiar feeling reading one of Jessica’s books. I am uncertain of where the story will lead, but I am unable to put it down.  The words are flowing from the pages like a wave and I find myself lost in this book, instead of stuck on a plane to California. 

At 37% now and the book has slowed down a little bit.  I am still fining it interesting though.   I learned a little bit about Luke, just enough to keep the wheels in my head turning.  Sienna, has taken a big leap for her and I am looking forward to see what evolves for these two people. 

Around 50% I lost a little interest in the story…I blame my vacation.

Now I am at 87% and I am hurting.  This book has me inspired to change my life around and do the things that I am afraid to do…including finishing this book.  I don’t know what I will do if things go a different way. 

At 89% I am happy for Sienna.  She is doing what was intended for her. 

92% and I’m really scared.  I feel like this is not going to end well.  I don’t know what to do at this point.  Finish reading or run away and pretend that everything is great.

94%...I cant say what is going to happen next.  Read the book.

J.A. Redmerski Q&A

Which do you love more, beginning to write a book or finishing one? Please explain why.

A few years ago my answer would’ve been that I loved starting a new book because I loved the journey I went through to get to the end. But I think over time I’ve grown to enjoy the finish line more because it means I get to start on something new - I have so many stories to tell! But I guess that’s the same thing as saying I love the beginning?

In THE MOMENT OF LETTING GO, Luke is into extreme activities like cliff diving and base jumping—what’s the most extreme thing you’ve ever done?

Probably cliff diving – as hard as that might be to believe considering my fear of heights. It took me nearly thirty minutes of running to the edge, stopping because I chickened out, and going back to try again, before I finally jumped. It was high. And it was scary. And I had bruises on my body for a week afterward, but I did it.

Do you have a favorite quote/scene from the book?

My favorite scene would have to be the one where Luke breaks down in Sienna’s arms. Emotional scenes like that one come from my core, and I feel like I connect with them more intimately.

What are you looking forward to most this summer?

My long-awaited throw-everything-in-the-Jeep-and-go drive to the Grand Canyon – though it’s beginning to look like I’ll be putting that off until the fall, or next summer.
