About Me


I write novels for teenagers. I'm the author of The Boyfriend List, The Boy Book and Fly on the Wall, Dramarama and the upcoming books How to Be Bad (together with Sarah Mlynowski and Lauren Myracle) and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. My website is called The Boyfriend List and there's a blog, plus all kinds of information on my books, preview chapters, ridiculous quizzes, book recommendations, boyfriend lists from fellow authors and more.

I have been known to wear pink and orange together. I have dyed my hair quite a number of different colors but never blue. I am prone to psychological back pain, and when I tell myself it's all psychological the pain just moves to my calf muscles.
Cat person. Cheese person. Drinker of diet root beer. Virgo. Nail-biter. Silly dancer. Reader of cookbooks and novels. Anglophile.
Animal I most resemble (according to my nearest and dearest): an otter.
NOTE: I get a lot of messages from people and find I can't email them back because they haven't "friended" me -- so if you want a reply, add me, please! Plug in your email and I will send you information on appearances, contests, new books etc. a couple times a year. Your information is confidential. * required

My Interests

Besides the obvious. That is, besides books.

lipstick, amusement parks, body art, show tunes, broadway, cheese, cooking, lapsed academics, adaptations, photo albums, dinner parties, theme restaurants, theater history, home movies

I'd like to meet:

My readers. Booksellers. People who write books kinda similar to mine. Teen book people. Librarians!

No thank you to people just beefing up ginormous friends lists.

Music:

My taste is highly erratic, generally embarassing and overall, unrepresentative of my personality. I like folk music. I like show tunes. I like standards. I like silence. If you go to my website and look in the top of the right-hand column, there's a link to the iMix for my book Dramarama. Those are some of my favorite musical theater songs of all time.

Movies:

Moulin Rouge, Cabaret, Gregory's Girl, Singin' in the Rain, His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I Capture the Castle...

Television:

I don't really watch it.

Books:

The Boyfriend List, Fly on the Wall, Not Like I'm Jealous or Anything, The Boy Book, Dramarama. Those are ones I wrote. Or wrote part of.
