I don't read interviews.

I'm sort of better at being able to know.

Oh God, no.

It's the weirdest experience.

Yeah, no, no.

No, no, no.

I think it's odd.

It's a very straight... I'm always trying to explain it to someone.

I said, it's like meeting someone for the first time and then they send you like a written report afterwards about what they thought about you.

Yeah, it's a very strange thing.

It's very odd.

Yeah, so I think it's just healthier to be like, you know, there's nothing I can do to change it anyway.

So like, just kind of like let it go.

That's coming in September.

Yeah, at the end of September.

And I just finished the proof pages.

And I will say, and I never say this about any of my books, but I do think it's

it's special like I'm really really really excited about it and just can't wait for it to be out in the world because it's definitely you know I often think I'm like trying to write the book that maybe I needed to read myself you know let's say with whatever happened to Madeline Stone I think that would have been a useful book for me to have read in my like late teens or whatever you know and I think with the memoir it's definitely a book that I would have like when I was going through this like you know really awful breakup that I think that book would have been

The one that you needed.

Yeah, because there's so much.
