Colleen Hoover:
Do you ever cry while you're writing the heartbreaking scenes you write? If so, how hard do you cry?
Colleen Hoover
I very rarely cry. Contrary to what people might think based on the subject matter of my stories, I am actually not an emotional person. I'm also not very romantic at all. It takes a lot for me to "feel" things, so I think the reason why my books make a lot of people cry is BECAUSE I'm kind of hard inside. So I write until I kind of sort of feel something sad inside of me, which takes a lot to get there. All the time I release books and tell readers, "Don't worry, this one isn't sad," and then I read all these reviews of people saying they cried and I'm confused because I never felt sad writing the book.
I might be a little dead inside.

Hi Colleen! I've been trying to remember this for a while now. Can you tell me which of your books has the scene where one of the characters says something like this? 'All of the things and people can be gone but I can continue to exist for that one person' or ''I will be happy to live for that one person if all else is gone' I really hope you can answer this! Love all your books!
