NYT bestselling author of messy, complicated romance. Now: LIAR’S BEACH. Next: MEET THE BENEDETTOS. Here: mostly just poems and kissing, honestly.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is not untalented but he shouldn't be making billion dollar disney movies or whatever. This guy should be in a garage making deeply earnest but unpolished rap opera concept albums and posting them online for a niche fanbase of no more than 100,000 too-online theatre nerds. Hiring him to make forgettable paint-by-numbers radio friendly disney princess pop is trying to raise devil's pupfish in captivity. You have to stop giving him money and let him go make cringe in his natural habitat or you're never going to get anything good.

reality is everything to me

you can’t get anywhere bountiful without saying ok here in the dirt the shit the rainfall the seed the hours in a day the deer and the height of the fence
