I’m also a television writer and I just had a pilot picked up by Fox that I’m really excited about. I have some ideas–one of which is very ambitious–so we’ll see. I don’t know! Which is both completely terrifying and totally exciting. This is a story about a group of close friends facing all of that together and how their journey shapes one of them into the kind of woman who will one day sit in the Oval Office. You’re making huge decisions about where you’ll go next and starting to think about the kind of person you want to be-no pressure. You’re in that murky place between childhood and womanhood. Senior year is such a uniquely intense time of life. We follow their struggles and triumphs as they deal with college applications and SATs and mental illness and identity and romance. Which girl it will be is a mystery until the very end. But we know something that they don’t-one of them is going to grow up to be the president of the United States. Most Likely follows four best friends during their senior year of high school. Please describe the content of your latest book and what can readers expect from the read. People want to see their hopes and ambitions reflected in what they read. We’re living through tumultuous times, but even in that I see a tremendous amount of optimism. I have been so inspired by Gen Z and how they’re using their voices to call for change. I think we have a powerful young generation right now. Why do you feel books with powerful and relatable characters are so popular and have such a voice right now? There’s a little bit of me in all four of the girls, but I’m a CJ for sure. Which character do you most relate to and why? Our female friendships shape us in such a profound way that I’m certain that our first female president–whoever she may be–will owe a huge debt of gratitude to her girlfriends. They’ve made me better and I can say unequivocally that I am who I am because of them. As we ran mile after mile and talked and talked, I realized how much my friends have pushed me over the years. What qualities would she have? What would she be like? At the same time that I was thinking about all this, I was training for a marathon with a couple of friends–we’d run many together over the years. When that didn’t happen, I started wondering who the first woman would be. I really thought we were about to elect our first female president. Sarah Watson: The simple answer is the 2016 election.
