Blog Tour: Remember When Trilogy

The Remember When Blog Tour

We were dying to participate in this tour because quite frankly, Tina Torrest is one of our favorite authors. She is just one of those girls who you know was way cooler than you in your 80's high school days and her words on paper have captivated our hearts.

For those of you who haven't read the Remember When series, trust us when we tell you.....you are missing out! And believe me, if you haven't heard about her books, you will soon, as the story of Trip and Layla is spreading like wildfire through the mouths of avid readers alike.

We were asked to do an auther interview and we were more than happy to participate. Thinking of silly and serious questions to ask over the course of a week was a difficult challenge. But after a lot of thought we finally came up with our best five.

1. Was it the awesome bangled bracelets and Vanilla Ice that made you decide to set the series in the 80's and 90's?
Ha! I can't think of a sillier time to revisit. You?

-No, we love the 80's, it was one of the greatest periods of our lives!

2. If you were Layla, which Hollywood actor would be YOUR Trip?
I have crushed on Brad Pitt forever. We're talking "Growing Pains" days, here. (Trip's his own guy, but I definitely threw a little Brad in there.)

-Ironically, while reading, we could somewhat imagine a Brad Pitt type character in our minds!

3. Did your husband propose with something amazing like your ring in an old Charlie Brown lunchbox?
No!! We'd just bought our first house together. One random day, he just pulled a ring out of his pocket and dropped to his knee in the hallway. I'd just gotten out of the shower and was wearing a ratty T-shirt and a towel on my head! I could have killed him. I still bust his chops and tell him he owes me a "movie proposal" someday.

-Absolutely!! Or at least a proposal like you would write in your books.....or the one Trip is going to do for Layla, right? Right?

4. What was your most favorite item that you treasure from the 80's?
Wow. Tough call. I'm a bit of a packrat with that stuff. But I guess I'll go with my "Born in the USA" concert T-shirt. I still have it and it was a great show!

-That's a great item to keep and a Jersey boy as well. Nothing better for you to hang on to!



5. Do you believe that there is always a place in a person's heart for their first love that will never be fully healed?
Oh, hell yes. I have a few "first loves" that will always stay in my heart. Doesn't everybody? But I wouldn't trade my last love for any one of them ;)

-We agree, those first loves remain a special memory that can be fun to look back on, but the current loves are the ones that totally steal our heart.....

We are extremely excited for the last installment of the trilogy, Remember When 3, due this fall. Fans have been waiting to find out how Layla and Trip's journey will end. Will first love win? Will they find happiness with other people? Only T Torrest knows this answer, but we are waiting anxiously to flip open that first page and devour what we hope will be our happy ending to a couple we have fallen helplessly in love with.
