Inside Choices: Plus Two
Grab your bags and get ready to jet-set to Europe for romance, music, and more in the sequel to Plus One in this week’s VIP release, Plus Two!
What makes Darian and MC’s relationship dynamic different in Plus Two compared to Plus One?
Dahlia:
They’re much more communicative in Plus Two–no games, no dancing around anything. Does that mean their relationship is perfect? Definitely not, and this book is about some of the growing pains. But the heat and banter are definitely still there in spades, if not kicked up a notch.
The supporting cast has always added warmth and humor—will they be back? If so, how did they evolve this time around?
Dahlia:
The supporting cast will definitely show their faces, especially at the beginning and end, but we’ve got some new characters I’m excited for people to meet!
What was your favorite European city to explore through the story?
Dahlia:
With one exception, these are all cities I happen to have been to, so they were all fantastic to revisit. Paris was my favorite for the romance, but I have a special place in my heart for Amsterdam and its beautiful canals.
Marco:
I think my favorite would be Berlin, I’ve been there myself and the venues and characters do evoke this Berliner vibe that is so unique! Amsterdam also has a very special place in my heart and I think fans will love the attention to detail we gave to each city.
Were there any fun behind-the-scenes inspirations for the glamorous (or chaotic) travel moments?
Dahlia:
They definitely stay in nicer hotels than I did, but otherwise, a lot of the stops were some of my favorites! One of the best travel tips I got before going to Iceland was to visit Hallgrimskirkja, a very tall church in Reykjavik, and check out the view from the top, so I made sure to include that as my own sort of travel tip in one of the chapters set there. It really is a view unlike any other I saw that trip, and I would never have thought to go if someone hadn’t mentioned it. I wish I could share my whole photo album from up there!
Marco:
Having a story taking place in Europe is definitely an opportunity to explore different styles. French fashion of course really inspired us, but also the street style in Berlin pushed us to add more stylish outfits and characters. It was a really fun book to work on from that perspective.
What is your favorite outfit from this story?
Dahlia:
I love the chic Parisian outfit with the sequined jacket. It’s such a perfect balance of flashy and polished–our artist Tom did that one, and totally knocked it out of the park.
Marco:
That’s a hard question to answer, I think I like some of the more avant-guard outfits, Indiana is a character that dresses pretty well, but also our main characters have some great outfits with textures and silhouettes that we haven’t seen yet in Choices!
Just for fun: What would you put on a "fake dating to real love" starter pack?
Dahlia:
As a die-hard fan of romance novels, I’d definitely include some of the greats–some of my absolute favorites are The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang, I Think They Love You by Julian Winters, Chef’s Kiss by TJ Alexander, Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur, and The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood. A double photo frame, so you can have a picture from the fake days to compare to a picture of the real thing. And a shot glass. If you’ve tried to pull off fake dating, you’ve probably needed a drink at some point!
