One of my biggest goals, especially with writing YA novels, is just to have people enjoy reading.

You don't get that many people in your life that you can just tell anything to.

It just is what it is. It's not always fair.

When you're looking to meet someone...you're looking to settle.

You go to new places and it opens your eyes to different things you haven't seen before. Everything from colors, to silhouettes, to patterns - it just comes from everywhere.

It's hard to tell people who they should hang out with and who they shouldn't, especially if they aren't ready to hear that. You have to let your friends make their own mistakes sometimes. You can't protect them from everything, or else they'll never learn

Dates are always hard. You don't want to be too dressed up or too casual.
