What could be juicier?
Things really could go any way.

This one doesnt have cheese, but I like it anyway.
The burger pattyactuallyhas flavor.
I used to think it was a gimmick.
Are they the quintessential comfort food for you?Yes, theyre one of my top comfort foods.
A lot of the young adult fiction with queer characters was just really depressing.
I wanted it to be swoony.
Before we continue, should we try the Wendys Single?Well, I like the size better.
Its a delicate lady-like burger for me.
it’s possible for you to actually enjoy the whole thing.
[Takes an indelicate, yet still lady-like bite].
The cheese is like Velveeta, the tomatos way better, and I love this bun.
I love everything about this, except for the burger itself.
What a weird situation, Wendys.
Why did you decide to also make Abbys weight be a part of her identity?
It was the filter that Abby experienced the summer through.
I dont remember teen boys being super helpful in what they said when I was in high school.
I literally opened [the box] and sort of wentaahhhh.
There were moments in the book that rang especially true of awkward high school memories.
Should I stand against a wall?
Should I go mingle?
Are we allowed to take those hors doeuvres?
Everyone has these things.
WithLove, Simonbeing such a success, one has to imagine this could translate just as well to screen.
Who would you cast as Abby?
Shes not an actor, but do you know that singer Mary Lambert?
Theres something about writing a guy who I didnt need to worry about having some romantic arc.
I just got to have a lot of fun, and make him say inappropriate things.
It was almost like, OK, well see how you end up, sir.
Then writing him was so fun.
He won me over.
Instead, I told the story of a friendship between the two sidekicks.
Its just a bread with condiments.
This isntThe Best Bread with Condiments in Los Angeles.
So the King is #1, making you somewhat of a Burger Queen.
And we have different queer identities.
Abby doesnt like any boys at all.
Thats not me, but I absolutely like cute girls, too.
Our fashion is very similar.
The reason I have dresses I like is because Im financially irresponsible about dresses.
Thats my secret; dont follow it.
If you feel good and have cute clothes, thats enough.
