It's a completely different experience from the first one - it gets a little darker and I get to dig deeper into my characters' past, so it's both exciting and challenging. I love it how I can grow together with my protagonist, Léna, who goes from being a blogger to a published author. Whenever I sit down to continue with her life, I can't help but reflect on my own and it often feels like writing a journal full of wishful thinking. It is not a secret that she's my younger and braver alter-ego. This book might be the most emotionally exhausting work I've ever done. (EDIT: the title might not be #california)(less)

I love "Ah!" and "Oh no..." moments, anticipation, and expecting the unexpected. Thrillers have got a lot more exciting since I began to write fiction. I get this V.I.P. feeling: following the characters everywhere with a "STAFF" card hanging from my neck and inspecting every piece of dialogue for clues. Like Patrick Jane in The Mentalist! Or Castle!
I feel really smart when I can guess the ending of the "whodunit", and a book that makes me feel smarter is sometimes better than a book that makes me smarter. The illusion is always more attractive :)(less)
