“A Million Junes” was actually written first, despite being Henry’s second novel. She wanted to write about a place that does not really change and time is not as important as it is in other places.

She feels a lot of nostalgia about Kentucky summers because she grew up there. She turned to her husband and told him that she wanted to write a novel that captured what a summer in Kentucky felt like. She got the idea for “The Love that Split the World” while out for a walk during the summer, and it was extremely humid. Emily Henry likes to write in the morning, facing a window. She also won nine cakewalks in a row one time at a school carnival. Her favorite sports teams include: any five year olds that take their shoes off after sitting down on the field in the middle of the game. When she was a child, she wanted to either become a professional basketball player with the WNBA (she has never played a game of basketball ever) or a writer. She also likes the movie that Sandra Bullock was in called “While You Were Sleeping”. She also likes “Bone Gap” by Laura Ruby, “100 Years of Solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy (which is one of her favorite novels) and “Conversion” by Katherine Howe. Rowling, “The Giver” series by Lois Lowry, and “The Ellimist Chronicles” series by K. Her favorite novel series growing up include: “Harry Potter” series by J.

“The Love that Split the World” is Henry’s debut novel that came out in the year 2016 it is from the genres of Young Adult and speculative novel.Įmily Henry is big into reading. If she knows too much about where a book is going, she does not really have much interest in writing the entire novel she has to see where it goes while writing, sort of like when reading a novel. She finds that she has to write a novel in order, and not bounce around. Emily Henry spends a lot of time in Cincinnati, Ohio, and in the state of Kentucky (in the part of the state that is just south of Cincinnati). While at Hope College, she studied creative writing and went to the New York Center for Art and Media studies. Emily Henry is a connoisseur of donuts, proofreader, and full time author.
