I have a lot of feelings about her and I’m wondering if anything gets “resolved” on that end in the next book. I’m really eager to get started on that one, actually. At first, I was like “people really wanted a book about this asshole?” (since people were so excited for The Boy Most Likely To)… but I started to see it. Tim was a huge dickhead in the beginning but seriously shaped up throughout the book. It’s something that I think authors don’t usually get right. I mean, clearly Tim had a problem with drinking and some drugs, but AS USUAL the portrayal of weed-smoking in a YA book bothered me. It’s real! It’s a part of teenagers’ lives.

My part of the state features a lot of farms and smelly cows. Of course, the made-up town in this book is clearly down by the shore (an area I am definitely not from), so it barely feels like Connecticut. Okay obviously the first thing I need to mention is CONNECTICUT! I love when books are set in my state I can definitely get a better feel for the setting and environment.
