Hi. Hi. I shrug, as though to say Whatever. In my peripheral vision I can see Magnus exhale. He looks a teeny bit nervous. So. So. I can play this game too. Poppy. Poppy. I mean, Magnus. I scowl. He caught me out.

Have you ever thought about the grid of Manhattan?' It's like...a metaphor for life. You think you have the freedom to walk anywhere. But in fact... you are strictly controlled. Up or down. Left or right. Nothing in between. No other options.' Life should be like an open space...you should be able to walk in whatever direction you choose.

I don't think anyone sits down and thinks, 'I know, I'll be a chick-lit writer.' You write the book that you want to write and then other people say, 'Oh, that's chick-lit.' You say, 'Okay.' But it's not like you look around and go to a careers fair and there will be someone at the chick-lit author stand.

Youth is still where you left it, and that's where it should stay. Anything that was worth taking on life's journey, you'll already have taken with you.

We're playing Scrabble. It's a nightmare. Scrabble? He sounds surprised. Scrabble's great. Not when you're playing with a family of geniuses, it's not. They all put words like 'iridiums'. And I put 'pig'.
