I wanted it to be three women who really and truly hated each other.

Only in this case I didn't want it to be a female buddy novel. Can you talk about your inspiration for the book?Įlin Hilderbrand: I wanted to write a novel that had three women characters because it's such an interesting dynamic, sort of harkening back to my novel Barefoot, which also had three women characters. Goodreads: Here's to Us focuses on Deacon Thorpe and the three women he married: Laurel, his high school sweetheart Belinda, the Hollywood diva who stole him and Scarlett, the former nanny.
