Her latest book is Bad Habits, which is here to scratch all your dark academia itches and also make you laugh and cringe. After chatting a bit about her book and her own background in academia, we dug into process and publication (and her #pitmad success story), the dead end of trying to be \u201ca good little author,\u201d money and class and missing hotels. Amy also got me thinking differently about my standard weaknesses\/obstacles question\u2014nay, the very idea of weaknesses. And, I think she got me back onto Goodreads. I loved Amy\u2019s energy and this conversation, and I hope you do, too.
