Andrea

I just need Lunnelly to soothe my heart after 1 year without them 🥺💖 also the TWIST YOU KEEP MENTIONING my mind is spiraling

Brianna

im definitely intrigued to see what goes down at the dinner

Haley Secen

Literally any soft moments between Luna and Donnelly, I’ve been rereading all my favorites just to tide me over until this next book

Kayla Reynolds

I’m mostly excited because it’s been my first live release since I started reading the addicted series (a year ago this past week :))! But also for this twist you’ve been teasing hehe

cass (ben’s version)

so excited for the twist!!! i have a note in my notes app of predictions. also angst… i’m an angst girl all the way. i’m counting down the days 🫶🫶🫶

Gabby Rojas

i wanna know more about donnelly which ik we’ll get this book. it’s gonna hurt but i’m excited to read more about him. I just need lunnelly back.

Gabby Rojas

ik the angst in this book is going to be superior and im so ready

Lindsay Hunter

💜ALL OF IT 💚 but especially the little moments between the two of them! Hopefully we see Loren come around in this one! If not, I’m excited for more Lilly and Farrow ✨

madzz

Lunnely alone time talking. Lonnely being being super hero and side kick. I hope to see a nice moment between Lily Donnelly and Farrow. Marrow being Lunnely supporters. Beckett and Donnelly patch up. Lunnelly getting to attend the comic con. So much more. This is just for starters.

a

i cant wait to see more of lily in ULU and her relationship with luna!! hopefully we also get to see some sweet lily and donnelly moments too🥹 aslo excited to have more yale boys content😍 i dont know if this will happen in ULU but i cant wait to see what happens when lo’s finds out about what donnelly did for ripley & marrow!

Dani P

I'm super excited to learn about about Donnelly's past. But I'm also looking forward to see if some of my random questions get answers. Like, is Delilah going to cause more problems? Will we get to see what Connor and Rose think about Donnelly? Will we get to see more Roxanne and Leo? Why is Donnelly's family causing problems now, when the hot santa video/SFO-is-fake rumors have been out for a while? I won't necessarily be disappointed if not all of my questions are answered, but I'm just super curious to see if any are.

Kaylee

So beyond excited for another Lunnelly book! I’m all caught up on the Like Us series now, so this’ll be the first release where I can actually read the story the night it comes out. Needless to say, I’ve cleared ALL schedules for our space babe and her bodyguard 🤭

shi luvs st.cobalt

I’m just so excited to see all of the characters again & see what they get up to in ULU (🥹🤎)!

Syd

All the Lunnelly moments are gonna feel so much more special since they can’t be with each other the way that they want yet. I just know every moment they’re together or even just in the same room I’m gonna be squealing! I’m also excited to see how Lo and Donnelly will act with one another, the ending of MLU left me hopeful that they can eventually get on good terms 💚

Kaylee

I’m definitely most excited to see what this mystery trope you’ve never written before is. Don’t even get me started on the plot twist you’ve been talking about. I’m on the edge of my seat, counting down the days 💜

Kaylee

Omg literally same! I’m an angst lover to my CORE. Very excited to see what comes out of this 👀

Kirstin N Dinan

I'm excited to see Luna and Donnelly get some happy...(hopefully!)

Lucia

Of course all the lunelly moments!! But I also need to see Beckett and Donelly's friendship rekindle :))

hannah

EVERYTHING! I’m excited to get to know them more, see them together, all the moments with all the different characters in this book, the big twist, etc… just ALL OF IT! Y’all are amazing and I know this is going to be over the moon awesome, even if it hurts! 💚

Rachel Parsons

I am ready for everything!! I can't wait to get back into their world and see how everyone is doing!

Melinda

I’m looking forward to their relationship development now that they are official. How they navigate this with his family in the wings causing problems. Hoping the love and happy times of being together balances out the “heartache” that is going to be present. I know no matter what happens I will love this book because I love them! 🥰

Nichole Suckow

I’m looking forward to seeing how he deals with his family and everything else! And I reallllyyyyy hope for some happy for Lunnelly!

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

EVERYTHING!!! Im so excited to see Luna and Donnelly’s relationship develop and all the moments with all the different characters (Lo and Donnelly Luna and Lily BABIES!! to name a few!) THE TWIST THAT I AM DYING TO KNOW the secret trope!! knowing more about donnelly’s family just being back in my favorite fictional world!! AGH IM SO EXCITED ITS ALMOST PAINFUL YALL ARE AMAZING AND I KNOW ITS GOING TO BE LIFE CHANGING

Rachael

I’m looking forward to Lunnelly hugs, I love the emotional nonspicy intimacy scenes. They both need a big long hug!

booky

I want to see more of the teenagers .

Ellieeeee

SOOOO EXCITED, I’m looking forward to the Lunelly Flufff, who’ll be the main side characters, all my favessss, more of those who have been quiet in misfits Like Beckett and Ben, possibly meeting new characters 👀, obviously Quinnie and Frogggg, Donnelly’s journalllll, possibly meeting some babies? And of course the massive twist that keeps being mentionedddd, IM SOOOO READY 💜👽

Ellieeeee

Is there a possibility that your Pinterest boards will be updated before the releaseeee? I loveee a Pinterest snoop 👀 if not totally fine I know you’re both super busy, I was just wondering 💜

Gabriela Seguesse

Besides all the Lunnelly angst, I want to see more of Lilo and Marrow, and I'm curious if we're going to see Jane giving birth 👀

Teresa

Babies, babies, babies, Ripley and the two new ones on the way. Meeting more of Donnelly family and learning about his backstop. And of course more Lunnelly!! Will there be flashbacks in Unlucky, if it's not to much of a spoiler 🤔

Teresa

Will you answer the question from the last hangout or should I put then here?

❥ Cait (The Carraway’s #1 fan)

Hehehehe I’m so excited for more Lunnelly 🥹🩷!! I’m so dying to see more Trouble Makers content, and I’m hoping for a visit to the Lake House 👻🩷✨

Sarah

I’m interested to see what’s gonna happen with Beckett now that his bodyguard is ooc.

Ellieeeee

Yessss I would LOVE a Harriet board, and get to know a littleeeeee bit more about her 💜

Zeynep

More Joana because I love her

Lauren Gibbs

I can't wait for Unlucky!! I 💓 😍

nia

Really excited to see Luna + Kinney together plus (hopefully) the girl squad! Also will you guys update the height chart to include all the side characters like you did with the birthdays?

hannah

With ULU coming at the end of this week, I’d love to hear what y’all’s theories are for the big twist / the secret trope? I don’t have any theories, I honestly have no idea what to expect besides angst and tears!

Sioned

Hiya 👋 I think it’s something to do with O’Malley and a time jump

Sioned

My dear friend carmine will give you way more thought out theories so look out for them!

hannah

I hope we get more details about O’Malley and how they know each other, etc…

hannah

I’ve seen some people mention jail, I’m really hoping Donnelly does not end up in jail!

Teresa

Either a death, someone gets addicted to drugs or a big family revelation

Deniz

I think it will be donnelly going to jail but it will be fabricated by both donnelly and lo to trick donnelly's family and get ınside info. But I do not think famous ones will know anything about it and will think lo betrayed donnelly which will also cause a dispute bw lo and Luna

Ang💙 (Oliveira’s Version)

idek what to except with ULU but i have this theory… so yk how Luna dresses up as Spider-man WHAT IF LUNA IS UPSIDE DOWN FOR SOME REASON AND HER AND DONNELLY HAVE AN ICONIC UPSIDE DOWN KISS i’m honestly just grasping at nothing but i’m in need of the book like right now RIGHT NOW

Illyana

Hello hello! I think that the thing I am most excited about, is to spend 'ha lot of overdue time just with Lunalley 'hanging out' you know? I think that with the slow burn as we saw was necessary in Book 1, and getting together around 80% into Book 1, we want that pay off to see them finally kindle together and be in the 'quiet' together <3 <3. Bonus if we get fun Marrow stuff but that's my bias seeping through ehehe. What are you guys most excited about without spoilers (if possible!) hehe

Illyana

In terms for other fun media, I have been currently LOVING This Pre-Historic David Attenbourgh show on Apple+ that dedicates two seasons to the Dinosaur age! Think Planet Earth 2, but its Dinasaurs! And its soo sweet! What are you guys watching to pass the July days away? Also where on the 'tv watching purity' spectrum do you find yourselves mainly on? Do you do other things while watching tv on the couch generally? Play sudoku, games on the iphone, fall asleep generally? Or are you a purist and cannot do anything else while enjoying/watching tv and get annoyed when others do?

Arrow

I’m so excited for this book! I’m looking forward to seeing more of the Hale’s and to seeing Donnelly get closer to the Hale family.

Arrow

Also, I am re-reading Misfits Like Us as a refresher for the new release and I forgot how good this book is. Just read the part where Moffy, Jack, & the Yale Boys crash the troublemakers’ triple date and that scene is chef’s kiss

hannah

That makes a lot of sense, I could totally picture this happening!! I can’t wait till we have the book in our hands!

hannah

I love all these ideas!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We're hoping to update our Pinterest before the release!! And we're likely going to reveal a Harriet Board as well 💜

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We'll add this on our list! We're playing a bit of catch-up on some things, but we definitely want to update that.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Hi Laura!! Hope you've been having an awesome July! Oooh, I need to look more into Apple+ content bc I don't watch too much there. We started Silo on Apple+ though when it first came out, but I haven't really gotten back into it. We typically aren't on our phones when watching TV at all, unless we're doing social media for promo. It's usually a "decompression" time so we like to just chill and not think about anything on our phones. We'll both usually watch something while we eat either breakfast or lunch ☺️ Latley, the only thing we've had time to watch in our breaks is The Bear on Hulu (season 2). It's so good! It's taking us a while to get through it though bc we've only been watching like 15 minutes a day. But it's amazing!!

Ellieeeee

I’ve heard a fewwww -Donnelly gets framed and everyone turns against him - Lo starts drinking again - coma/memory loss - a death - another addiction in the family

Ellieeeee

I have a feeling he’s going to want Donnelly back and we’re finally going to get a Beckett and Xander interactionnnnn

hannah

Those would definitely lead to some tears! I can’t wait! It needs to be Friday already!

Alexandra

I love, love, looove the way you write conversations of the couples, so ever since you mentioned we are getting heart-to-hearts between Luna and Donnelly, I have been even more excited! Heartfelt and genuine and realistic scenes where you can really see a couple communicate and grow trust and understanding is something where I really think you two shine as authors! One of my favorite scenes is for example, Marrow in the pantry about the future of their relationship in ALU or the scenes in Misfits with just Donnelly and Luna in her room 🥰 and Farrow is my bonus mention regarding what I’m excited about because his and Donnelly’s friendship is one of my favorite dynamics you’ve ever written ☺️

hannah

I need more info on O’Malley. Are there podcasts he’s mentioned in?

hannah

You are seriously the BEST EVER!! I was looking back through stuff trying to get more details, this was PERFECT! During my reread, When Donnelly goes to see him in the hospital - I literally thought this was someone I should have taken more notice of.

Kelly Chase

I know the audiobook is usually staggered from the book release anyway. Would you all happen to know if the strike will cause further delays? I know a lot of narrators are SAG-AFTRA.

hannah

carmine_dream, any new thoughts now that we have chapter one?

hannah

Thanks for sharing all your thoughts! I’m with you, I’m going into without any expecatations. Just going to enjoy the ride! I have reread all the things and thought hearing others thoughts and ideas would be a fun way to spend the last couple of days before Friday!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We're really unsure if there'll be delays bc of the strike since we don't get too many updates/info about the behind-the-scenes happenings with the audio and dates. But it really does all come down to the narrators' schedules and where they'll be able to fit it in. We're hoping it won't take too, too long. We'd guess that 3 months from now would be the earliest it'd release
