two skins parks
Things she knew now, that she hadn't known two hours ago: Park was covered with skin. Everywhere.
thinking two too-late
I think I missed my window." "What window?" "My get-a-life window. I think I was supposed to figure all this stuff out somewhere between twenty-two and twenty-six, and now it's too late.
believe book two
Cath ran her fingers along the cover, over the raised gold type. Then someone else ran right into her, pushing the book into Cath's chest. Pushing two books into her chest. Cath looked up just as Wren threw an arm around her. "They're both crying," Cath heard Reagan say. "I can't even watch." Cath freed an arm to wrap around her sister. "I can't believe it's really over," she whispered. Wren held her tight and shook her head. She really was crying, too. "Don't be so melodramatic, Cath," Wren laughed hoarsely. "It's never over...

In 'Attachments,' which is told from a male point of view, people asked me if a man would really think that much about whether a woman likes him. But I have a husband and three brothers, and they're all like that.

I'd never written a novel before, and I wrote a novel, and that turned out OK.

When 'Attachments' came out and people liked it, I'd have a warm feeling of having made a connection.

I definitely had a hard time leaving for college because I'm not much of a risk-taker.
