Yes, obsessed with his books. And I've definitely gone through phases in my career. This is book seven for me, and I've just handed in book eight, which was really scary. It's always so scary handing in a new book. But I remember with His and Hers in particular, I spent nearly a year writing a book, and I loved the book, and then I decided that I couldn't let anybody read it.

There was something wrong with it, and I didn't know what was wrong with it. But I'm very secretive as an author. I don't tell anyone, even my agents, my publishers. Nobody knows what I'm writing until I finish the book. So I sent an email to my agent. I remember I was in Wales. I was in a horrible Airbnb. It stank of damp. There was a terrible storm. There were dead seals on the beach.

It was a really horrible trip. And then I sat in the window of this horrible Airbnb writing an email to my agent saying, I'm so sorry, I feel like I've let you and everyone down. I can't send the book in. And he said, just send it. I'm sure it's not as bad as you think. And I said, no, there's something wrong. But don't worry, I'm going to write another one.

And he said, let me talk to your publishers. We can push back the deadline. It's going to be fine. I said, no, no, no. The whole book is in my head. I just need to write it. I can do it in three months. And, um, I always do three drafts before anyone reads it. So I did three drafts in three months and I hit send, which is as terrifying now as it was then. And everyone loved the book.

And that book was his and hers, which is my best behaved book. What is best behaved? It just wrote itself.

I just sat in the shed with my dog I had no social life whatsoever for three months but I got the book done and I think those are my Grady Green moments when everything else just stops life stops the house turns into a giant mess my hair I've got naturally very curly hair in situations like that it grows sideways there'll be robins nesting in in the background um so I understand Grady's obsession with when you get a story in your head and you have to write it

So that was definitely his and hers for me. And the badly behaved book, the one I couldn't figure out how to fix, I came back to it maybe a year later and I could see what was wrong finally, but I didn't know how to fix it. So I wrote a book called Rock, Paper, Scissors. Then I came back to the naughty one again and I read it again and now I knew how to fix it.
