Hi! I'm making my way through your works and am thoroughly enjoying the journey. I'm curious how long it takes you to write your books and do you ever need beta readers? :) (raises hand as volunteer)

Oh, you're very kind!! Thank you!! I don't use too many beta readers, honestly. Just a very small inner circle! What I try to do is get very quiet and connect with my own inner reader and really pay attention to if she's having a good time . . . and so I always worry that too many other opinions could throw me off! 😂 It takes about a year for me to write a book--from intial idea, to research, to the first draft (about 4-5 months), to edits! Thank you so much for asking!!

While I was reading Happiness for Beginners, I kept visualizing a young, spunky Annie Potts as Helen and a young James Franco for Jake. Do you model your characters on favourite actors or personal acquaintances? Your characters seem so real to me. By the way, I'm not a fan of sequels, but Duncan's story - or a character like Duncan - would be hilarious.

Thank you for this wonderful book, and I can't wait to read your new release. In this book, Cassie mentions (near the end) reading a book about post-traumatic growth, and I wonder if you know of a good book of that nature to recommend? Thank you for handling trauma so well in your books.
