There’s a reason I turn to Friends when I get depressed. Ok, I lied, there are several reasons.

Up until a couple of weeks ago, I was a 23-year-old who had never been on a date.

In a moment when I couldn’t write myself, it was the writing of others that brought me back from the brink of my depressive episode.

When I held Baby J for the first time, everything shuffled into place. For the kids, I see every reason to breathe. They love me. I don’t know why.

Wicked Like a Wildfire, the debut young adult novel by literary agent Lana Popovic, is a book that seems created just to fit the description “atmospheric.”

Tomi Adeyemi might be the writer whose book deal seared me with insane jealousy and sent waves crashing through the book world.

Leigh Bardugo isn’t just an incredible writer; she’s also an incredible person, not least because she writes very diverse stories that give readers the gift of representation.

It's ok to be sad and happy at the same time. I think that’s the beauty of life — how unpredictable it is and how adaptable we are as humans.

Selfies are one of the easiest indicators of my mental health.

Here’s the thing about faking it: eventually, the truth comes out, or someone gets hurt. So I'm going to talk about my virginity on first dates!
