Wellns-wise, was a lot of Instagram and a lot of Redd. I do have a ton of iends who are way more to wellns than I am. I talked to them about why they feel so sure about the products and activi they swear by. When I started wrg the novel, I wanted Cass to be a ltle more dishont, but later I found far more tertg to wre about a person who hontly believ somethg. That was a turng pot wrg . I jt thk a lot of fluencers really believe themselv. Lookg at that motivatn is much more tertg to me than someone lookg to trick people and make money.</p><p data-no-id="14" class="css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0"><strong>CT: What about Jane’s character ma important for you to statn the narrative through her POV?</strong></p><p data-no-id="15" class="css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0"><strong>JG:</strong> I love an unlikable protagonist. I thk of myself as an unlikable protagonist sometim. I’m not like Jane, but was liberatg to give voice to somethg about the unlikable thgs about me and put them Jane and then amp them up. The ia of acknowledgg the privilege of those around you but not your own is very ter culture a nutshell. I thk she’s someone that would love to watch a Twter pile-on, but the moment that someone qutns somethg she said, she’d cmble. I thk that’s human, but is somethg we should exame wh ourselv.

In the first draft, I had wrten half of through Tom’s POV, which was really tertg to wre and fely ls barbed and funny, and Jane was such a great ndu for humor. All of my favore books have a lot of humor them. That’s what I want to read and wre too.</p><p data-no-id="17" class="css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0"><strong>CT: What do Cass’ character reprent? She’s such a prence the novel, at least Jane’s ey, but seems like she go through life generally havg everythg hand to her.

If a ls-attractive person had unual terts, I’d thk they were weird.</p><p data-no-id="19" class="css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0">It’s tertg for a rear who n’t see Cass to be like, “What’s the appeal?” But is tertg to thk about how willg you’d be to give someone the benef of the doubt when they say somethg tertg or wise or say somethg unexpectedly telligent, all bee of how they look. You don’t expect someone to be betiful and telligent. They have a leg up your md. Creatg a character that wasn’t attractive wouldn’t have worked bee no one would want to talk to them.

If you are rich enough to be able to eat refully prepared meals of all vegetabl, or not have to s ont of the screen, or work the sun, or do a lot of tasks that are necsary for people who do not have a small army attendg to them, you probably will look and feel amazg.
