I had a lot of fun doing this Goodreads interview about We Were Liars, my friendship with novelist Justine Larbalestier, my tattoo, and what a mediocre person I am. Have a look.

Come out and say hello.
I have continued writing mottos on my hands, as Cadence and Gat do in We Were Liars.
There's an interview with me about We Were Liars over at YA Interrobang. And here's a review in The Horn Book to read.
