What’s your most unusual writing habit?  

“I like to write on my phone. It gives me the flexibility to work no matter where I am. I think there’s a preconceived notion of what writing should look like and really, it should be whatever works best for your creativity and lifestyle. If I had to wait to write until I could sit at a desk in front of a laptop, I’d never get anything done. My notes app is currently 37 pages long and full of paragraphs and lines that I love with nowhere to put them yet. But I can’t share any of it because I don’t want to spoil even a single line.” 

Where do you most like to write?  

“I’m finding it easiest to write at my lake house these days, away from the noise of my house and the chores that I end up doing instead of working. I need a view or a fireplace, something to gaze into while I’m thinking.” 

Who are your favourite writers? 

“Kennedy Ryan of course, big fan of Jennette McCurdy, I’ll always show up for a Taylor Jenkins Reid and Lauren Kung Jessen book. I recently fell in love with Denise Williams too and have picked up her backlist.” 



Tell us about The Night We Met. What can readers who loved Say You’ll Remember Me get excited about?  

“Sooo many fun cameos from previous characters! We’re back in places we haven’t seen in a while and the Toilet King is back in a big way in this one.” 

Friends-to-lovers fans often say it’s the most painful trope because everything feels "almost." What’s your favourite way to stretch that tension without snapping the reader in half? 

“I love those tiny moments of ‘what if.’ The glance across the room or the slight touch that means so much more than it looks like it does. I love friends-to-lovers because the stakes always feel so high. If you cross a line, you might not get the girl, and you might lose the friendship, too.” 

What’s one detail in The Night We Met that feels small but means everything to you? 

“The friendships in this book. I really enjoy carving out the characters and making the reader understand how they became who they are, and friends are so reflective of that.” 

What do you hope readers will gush/laugh about in group chats while reading The Night We Met? 

 “Woofarine will steal the show, I promise.” 

It was just announced that the books in the Part of Your World series are getting adapted. What are you most excited about and is there anything you can tell us about your involvement in these projects?  

“I’m excited to meet these characters with my eyes! They’ve lived in my head, I played their audiobooks in my ears—my eyes are ready. I want to be as involved as I can be with whatever they decide to do with these stories, but I’m also excited for the collaboration with the other talented creatives who will bring this to life.” 

What are you working on next?  



“I’m working on my ninth book right now. It’s a character from The Night We Met and hopefully someone you’ll want to see get their redemption story.”
