Laurie : I loved writing the freshman year timeline and getting inside teenage Ambrosia’s head. It’s just so ironic, because the girls in this book, for the most part, do such horrible things to each other.Įrin : What was the highlight of writing this book? The title was taken from a line in the book, when Ambrosia muses over the letters she wrote to her grandmother during freshman year, lying about the girls she had met at school. Laurie : I didn’t have a title for this book until I had finished writing it. She’s deeply insecure and intersects with Sully at the exact moment when she needs validation most, and as loathsome as some of her actions are, I believe her descent into darkness is believable because we can see bits of our own vulnerabilities and insecurities in her.Įrin : What is the significance of the title, The Girls are All So Nice Here? Laurie : Writing Sloane “Sully” Sullivan was wickedly fun, but I think thus far, Ambrosia is my favorite character I’ve written. It’s very hard for her to break out of that mold and be seen as anything else.Įrin : Do you have a favourite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special. It’s interesting that once a girl has been labeled, it’s like she has been condemned. Laurie : I really found out how deeply engrained the mean girl/nice girl labels are in our society, to the point where I had to stop myself from judging my own characters for their actions.
