The eyes see everything through the heart.

There is no question that the objects that surround us impact our experience of the world.

All my main characters are people I'd love to sit around having coffee with. They are people who will tell you honestly about the things that scare them and worry them and trouble them. Because those moments of connection between women-when they really decide to be honest with each other about their lives-are some of the best things in life.

Don't let anyone convince you that love doesn't matter.

In fiction, you can be as true as you want. Real life is a different story.

It's more important to be interesting, to be vivid, and to be adventurous than to sit pretty for pictures.

I like to write about people who are real and likeable. I like to write about people who tell their stories in that close and intimate voice we use with best friends. I love the closeness and honesty and vulnerability that come from characters who can talk that way.
