Ann Brashares
Maybe, sometimes, it's easier to be mad at the people you trust because you know they'll always love you, no matter what.

Besides being asked why I write about young characters, I am often asked how I write about young characters. How do I throw myself across the chasm of full adulthood to relive that period?
