If you ever meet her, you’ll understand instantly: Miss Monroe is no ordinary dog. She’s a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with more personality than most people I know.

I never thought I’d speak on the internet. In English. With my real voice. And yet, here I am – a YA author pretending to have one million followers while my dog licks my face mid-shot. This is not the dystopian future I imagined. And yet, it kind of is. When I started writing The …
