13 Reasons Why || Beloved - Character Interview

Happy hump day, friends!

I cannot believe we're already to day three of the tour. It feels like it's going by so quickly—I can hardly keep up with everything that's going on!

Today's theme is character interviews! To make it especially fun, Kate and I decided to interview each other's characters instead of our own. So my interview of Erich Carlos, a main character from Beloved, is below. And Kate's interview with James from Freedom is up on her blog!

Kaitlyn Krispense, Author

|| Interview w/ Erich from Beloved

Welcome to the blog, Erich! Why don’t you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Thank you Faith! My name is Erich, i’m a born-again Christian, and i’m also a bachelor living with my brother, Peter. What else am i supposed to say? I work at a waffle joint, i hate roman candles (those things are freaky, man!), and i’m striving to be like Christ more every day.


How do you feel about your and your family’s story releasing in just a few days?
Not like i rly had much choice in the matter, lol. i mean, i guess i’m ok with it. For once i’m actually being portrayed as a good guy, so i can’t complain. Not real thrilled at the prospect of people reading all about me, but Cara’s the one whose mind everyone’s gonna see, so i guess it’s ok.

Was your first impression of Cara positive or not so much?
Uhhhhh . . . can i plz plead the fifth on this one? There’s rly no good way to answer this one. She was an annoying brat and i wanted to pound her thru the wall, but other than that, she wasn’t too bad.


If you could go back and change one thing about your past, what would it be?
Oh no, plz not this question. Srsly Faith, why do you have to pick this one?!
Ok, fine. Kaitlyn says I have to answer. *clears throat awkwardly* there’s a lot of things i could mention here, but . . . i’m not too proud of the way i first treated the Carloses when i first came to their house. i mean, there i was, their 2nd foster son, and of course i had to be a real idiot. Not exactly days i’m proud of. If i could go back and redo those days, live them with gratitude . . . man i wish i could.


And lastly, because I just have to know… which Carlos sibling is your favorite?
Lol wouldn’t you like to know. They all have their shortcomings, whereas i, on the other hand, am everyone’s favorite. i mean, just ask Kaitlyn. She says i’m a heartthrob.
In all seriousness tho, i can’t just pick one like a lock (my apologies, i’m not as good at analogies as Cara). I live with Peter, so i guess that means i have to like him. Fergus is obnoxious but funny in his own right. Eddie is . . . well . . . something else. Titus has the ego typical for boys his age, but his heart is good. Cara . . . i guess i’m not supposed to give away any spoilers, so nvm. But i can’t pick just one.


Thank you for hosting me, Faith! I greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for joining us, Erich! And readers, don't forget to preorder your copy of Beloved in Paperback or Kindle! :D

|| R2L

Today's reason to live is: laughter. It's a beautiful sound, isn't it? The magical melody of shared laughter with a friend. The giggle of a small child. Laughs circling around the family dinner table. Maybe you're in a season right now where the tears majorly outweigh the laughs. That doesn't mean you can't hold on until the return of the days of laughter. Because they are coming. The joy will return. No drought or famine or storm can last forever. And the wait is worth it. <3
