In life we're most hell-bent on proving things that we're not really sure are true.

I just write the books that I think I would want to read.

When you are a high school girl, there is nothing more miraculous than a high school boy.

I always worried someone would notice me, and then when no one did, I felt lonely.

I just think that people are complicated, both men and women. It happens that I write more about women.

I gave people the benefit of the doubt, thinking, so many people that appear very calm and even boring must have all these wild emotions and crazy ideas.

High school is very intense for everyone. But at a boarding school, because you're there 24 hours a day, everything gets magnified.
