I think titles are tricky because they're like a really short ad for the book. And like an ad, they should open the door in a way that might be more accessible than the book itself. So I always like titles to be familiar. I'm not trying to break ground with the title itself. The title should feel like something already celebrated.

I wondered if i would spend the rest of my life inventing complicated ways to depress myself.

We really wanted to know all the unknowable things about each other and how we were the same and how we were different, if we even were, maybe nobody is.
