That so many people responded to it because I did not expect like that response at all that so many kids would be reading that book. And that, I mean, it was published in 2016 and we're in 2024 now.

It doesn't matter because they're all standalones. They're all separate stories, like characters don't appear in one book and then another one. And a lot of adults do. They read my books. And I think it's because they went through those same things when they were younger and they didn't have anyone to talk to about it. And they didn't have any books like that when they were teens.

And so the books resonate with them because they're working through their stuff. Like I said, you can work through stuff while you're reading a book. And I always hope that the story is good. I don't start any book with a message or anything. I just start a book because I'm interested in thinking about how that character would deal with that thing.

And people, you know, they're like, well, is Charlie Davis' story in Girl in Peace is your story? And it is not my story. I can start with a kernel of something real that happened to me, like with Girl in Peace's self-harm and depression. But, you know, I'm a writer, so other things take over. And I'm not interested in, like, putting my story on the page. I'd rather do it through fiction.

My after I turned in the draft of I signed a two book deal with Girl in Pieces. OK. My editor had said to me on the phone before the contract, she said, do you think you could write another book? And I was like, sure, I guess I'll give it a shot. I guess I'll try again. All right. I'll try to write another novel. And so I did have a two book contract.
