Writing a teen character is something I wanted to try again for a long time!
From Emily Giffin
Well, shoes, bags and clutches are usually my big weaknesses - my husband always laughs when I call them 'investment pieces.'
I don't really know why I went to law school.
I have always been drawn to coming-of-age stories and books and movies featuring compelling young characters.
I really try to focus on my books and readers.
A theme in a lot of my books - and in my own life - is making choices that you feel you should make, or what society wants you to make, as opposed to what is truly right for you.
Inevitably I draw on my own relationships when I write, so if I'm writing about a fight between a husband and his wife, of course I'm going to think about a recent fight with my husband. Or if I'm writing about sisters, of course I'm going to think about my sister.
I like to match what I wear to my book jacket - it's a little bit cheesy, but it's my thing.
