Dave\u2019s sequel, The First Time I Saw Him<\/em>, was published in January. The highly-anticipated second book begins with a time-jump<\/a> five years later, with Hannah (Jennifer Garner<\/strong>) crossing paths with Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau<\/strong>) after he goes on the run. For season 2 of the mystery-thriller, Hannah and stepdaughter Bailey (Rice) have to navigate the fallout from Owen\u2019s reemergence as faces from the past \u2014 like Quinn (Greer) \u2014 return.<\/p>\nWhile recalling the process to Us<\/em> in January, Dave explained that she had \u201cwritten a draft of the book\u201d which was what gave the season 2 showrunners a plan of where to go with the show.<\/p>\n\u201cI walked them through the book. They had the world and the themes and everything, but I only had 100 pages I was willing to share at that point,\u201d Dave shared. \u201cWhile I was doing some of that editing, they were off creating the second world for the show. I think they speak to each other really beautifully.\u201d<\/p>\n
