We sat like that for a long while, and when we stood up, all my sad things were in boxes, and Beck was my father.

I was trying to decide if you still had free will as a wolf. If I was a terrible person for planning to drug my girlfriend and drag her back to my house to keep in the basement.

As you learn who you are, you can better surround yourself with friends who make you a better person, and that sometimes only happens when you disassemble old relationships.

The big thing in my family growing up is that everybody had to play a musical instrument. We were like the von Trapps.

One of the things that I really like about young adult fiction is that you can explore the relationships between teens and their parents. I definitely think that teens are a product of their parents. You either end up just like them or you consciously make the decision to be unlike them.

I was wild and tame and pulled into shreds and crushed into being all at once.
