The writer weighs in on clashing values, her favorite reads and more.

Kira’s experience parallels Sadie’s in so many ways: the artistic ambitions, an early loss that changed the trajectory of her life. What did Kira learn from her mother that set her on a different path?

Yes, their lives are, indeed, mirrors to each other. I feel like the main thing Kira learned from watching Sadie is to have your own back. To not rush into the things that society deems are best for you, i.e. marriage and motherhood, if they’re not your vision. Also, to stay true to the artistic path, as difficult as it can be. And finally, Kira’s life is frozen in time in so many ways.

Guilty! Well, I find that so many women still struggle with being true to themselves, let alone the very notion of putting themselves and their needs first — or even third or fourth. I’m intrigued by the push-pull thing, how we endeavor to find balance and the prices we pay for trying to have and do it all. These themes only become exponentially larger and more pressing when we go back in time.

One couple in the novel has a child on the autism spectrum, a minor plot point that’s handled in a very matter-of-fact way. You’ve written in the past about your family’s experiences with autism. Do you see pop-culture representations of it changing?I do, indeed, see pop-culture representations of autism changing. I love that outlets like, with the new character, Max, are helping autistic kiddoes see themselves represented and also helping neurodiverse children understand autism better.

Anything by the queen of sultry, soapy thrillers, Jeneva Rose, is a summer-reading must, including her twisty latest,. Same for Caroline Kepnes’ “You” series, which I devour poolside. I can’t wait to read her most recent,The Only One Left
