Summary from Goodreads:
Seventeen-year-old Kat Hartland loathes Unrequited, the world's biggest
boy band. Is she the only girl in Sydney who can't be bothered with
perfect-looking Angus Marsden?
Give her 5 Seconds of Summer. Now.
Or maybe the seriously-hot med student who rescued her on a train—and who could be Douglas Booth's twin! Perfect formal partner, much?
But when Kat comes face to face with Angus Marsden himself, things start to get complicated. Very. Throw in a deranged female popstar, final exams, a part in the musical and a mum who just doesn't get it—and where is her best friend?
When did life get so crazy? Kat's just an ordinary schoolgirl.
Isn't she?

What’s the best thing about being a writer?
You get to escape into a fantasy world, and get to carry that world with you, in your mind, wherever you go. I'd be sitting at the traffic lights, in Kat's world, or doing the grocery shopping, in Kat's world. I loved it, and felt a bit bereft when the story was finished.
How do you deal with writer’s block?
After my first book was published, I was terrified of writing another one that wouldn't be 'good enough'. For a few years, I dealt with this by avoiding writing anything other than 'work stuff'.

The National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) came to my rescue, forcing me to blurt out 1500 words a day regardless of quality, for a month, until it became a habit. The lack of time to re-read, edit and perfect yesterday's work was just what I needed.
You can't edit a blank page. Begin before you are ready.
What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
I first knew that I would one day write a novel when I was fourteen. I'm now forty, and here it is. I couldn't have written this one twenty years ago (for a start, there was no social media, which features heavily in the storyline).
All along, though, I was watching people. (Not in a freaky, stalky way - just 'people watching'). The best thing anyone can do as an aspiring writer is 'look up'.
Emma Grey has two teenage girls, a three-year-old boy, a couple of businesses and another teen novel in the pipeline. Her first book, 'Wits' End Before Breakfast! Confessions of a Working Mum' was published in 2005.
