I just finished this. Ouchy 😭

"A love story" is so misleading and so accurate at the same time.

This one will stay with me for a while. I need more lesbian history books. Give me recommendations please 😁

Hahaha, that would be exciting if still delicious 😋

Is there anything more exciting than discussing with your publisher which bookshops to do signings at?

The moment you realize your writing career is actually doing social media, and not having time to write anymore

I can write well, but turns out speaking is much harder

Books let us step into other worlds. I love that because it means I can step out of wherever I am

Omg. I hadn't thought of that. That's exactly why it creeps me out

My book is 1 month old, but if you're going to celebrate, beware of putting candles in it 😀

This book crashed my heart. Claire Lynch has taken the horrors of how women were treated in courts, and woven them into a truly moving story

More news stories about adolescence, and still focusing on the directing.

If a man says he wants to talk about male violence and then talks about his own achievements, all he wants to do is change the conversation
