My mom once told me that a good relationship isn’t where the other person makes you feel better, but where they make you better.

I love that the book [Paper Girls ] gets to kind of evolve and change in each era. Our third storyline is our best so far.

To try and imagine that I’m another person is always going to be hard – whether I’m writing about a truck driver or someone who is gay, who’s trans, who is of a different ethnicity or creed. But it would be boring if I always had to write about myself and my limited viewpoint.
