Beautiful and fresh, Girl Saves Boy is full of the absolute truth-life is complicated. I could not put it down.

I like to talk about weirdness. We all have strange thoughts and ideas, and when you really trust someone you can express them. And they can express them to you, and that's one of the joys of life.

Life is really just a bunch of nows, one after the other.

When you trust your readers, you're hoping they will see what you see. Not every book is for every person.

For me one of the most important things is not feeling like you have to protect yourself if you're with a real friend.

I think if you can take something out and it doesn't change the book, it doesn't need to be there.

Didn't you ever have a father yourself? You don't want him for a reason. You want him because he's your father.' So I figured it's because I never had a father that I don't want one now. A person can't miss something she never had.
