Every writer puts themselves into their characters which is often what makes them so REAL (and I don't hear people criticizing Stephen King for making 80% of his main characters writers...). Haters gonna hate. Can't wait for book 3! :)
omg i literally can’t with the different title brainstorms! that was hilarious. and i so appreciated this insight into better together! i adore reading your books and i can’t wait to read more. and of course your books have pieces of yourself in them because you’re writing them! it’s so cool to see your writing journey and see how much you’ve grown overtime with everything - it’s incredibly inspirational. i can’t wait to read all the things and see all the projects!
Hey Christine, thank you so much for sharing the background of Better Together! I absolutely loved it and it’s so cool to hear your thoughts behind it. I can’t wait for book three!
I have had my copy since it came out, but I FINALLY got to read it this week! Absolutely loved it. I just had so much fun reading it and listening to the audiobook. I am so in love with the mysterious magic of your book universe.
Thank you so much for answering my question about the injuries. I’m so sorry that you had the personal experience! 😭Yay, for yoga keeping you going! I was getting so injured towards the end of my ballet career that I decided to get certified in Pilates, and thank God I did!
thank you for changing the harry potter fandom to the game of thrones fandom!!!! not only was that a good decision for just the obvious reasons, without it we couldn’t have gotten jaime’s fantastic joke about her parents naming them after incestuous siblings 😂😂😂
I remember being really impressed with how different Jamie and Siri were from Shane. But totally agree - we want to read what you want to write, not what other people want you to write!
The end made me tear up! 🥲🤍 I'm so grateful to get to tag along on your author journey. This Q&A reminded me just how much I love this book and the characters! ✨️
Hi Christine! I love your videos (been watching for ~8 years); they make time pass by so quickly! I'm a sophomore in college making a podcast and watching your videos on the creative process really helps me on my creative journey. I sent an email your way, but, regardless of your answer, thank you so much for posting about your writing journey!
Thank you for answering my question Christine ❤️ Yes it’s very important to do what you love everyday before being ready to have kids at your own pace/timeline.
Literally just finished reading Better Together last night! Right on time for the video! So inspired by your author journey Christine!! Can't wait for your next book!!
creepy cryday had me on the FLOOR. also, thank you for explaining the backstory of how harry potter was changed to GOT!! im really grateful you made that decision.
I’m so glad you’ve got over the ‘writing for critics’ thing Christine 🥺 MAKE those characters love reading MAKE those characters love Taylor Swift. WE LOVE THOSE THINGS TOO!!! Writing about things you love makes your writing better!!! Honestly seeing those reviews about ABB made me so mad lol let people enjoy things??? P.S. you used my kiss marry cliff question but didn’t use my comment as a picture!! 🤣🤣
So... The third book won't be called Together Again 🥺 Also, I loved both books, you can just see them as a romcom movie, I can't wait for the third!!! Someone should definitely pick your books up for movie adaptation!
I honestly don't get it. Every writer puts part of themselves into their characters, but no one points that out. It makes your characters real, and all of them are relatable.

Real quick can we talk about the AMAZING tagline "Two sisters. Two coasts. Two crushes. One hoax." Impeccable, genius, chef's kiss, etc
THANK YOU

‘If you give a girl a sister’ sounds like a children’s book about becoming an older sister to a new baby ahhaha
LOLOL

Third comment cuz why not: Christine, thank you for being my comfort UA-camr for the past 6 or 7 years
i remember when you first said it was called preferably paired i still love that title
me too!! it just didn't feel like it fit the story as much once I finished writing the book =)
When will we get a book review for crescent city 2???
Your hair is so beautiful!! 😍🥰🙏🏻
thank you
i laughed so much at your alternative titles xD
😀 YAY!!
The titles - HILARIOUS
Medium Women has me dead! 💀
XD
Unexplained magic is my favorite to write. That's why I lean into magical realism books most often.
Can u release a paperback with the cover of the hardbound? I'm from the Philippines and I can't find your book anywhereee
So... The third book won't be called Together Again 🥺
Also, I loved both books, you can just see them as a romcom movie, I can't wait for the third!!! Someone should definitely pick your books up for movie adaptation!
Have to read this immediately so I can watch the video
your top is so cute!!
thank you!
I honestly don't get it. Every writer puts part of themselves into their characters, but no one points that out. It makes your characters real, and all of them are relatable.
do you have a letterboxd?
It’s a Christine video!! Ayeee!!
Okay but in love with the watermelon background
Would love see you react to New Percy Jackson Teaser Trailer from D23 . It’s awesome and you wouldn’t be disappointed
