With 'Attachments,' my goal was to write a really good romantic comedy. I wanted the reader to be smiling throughout.

It's very difficult, I think, especially on two cellphones, to have a romantic conversation.

When I watch a romantic comedy, I feel like they're selling something that doesn't exist. Two beautiful, but extremely unpleasant, people are terrible to each other for an hour, accidentally kiss, then decide to like each other during an extremely vague montage. That isn't how people fall in love.

I like science fiction, I like fantasy, I like time travel, so I had this idea: What if you had a phone that could call into the past?

If you were an alien who came to our bookstores - or browsed our teen magazines - you'd think that only Earth girls who look like Mila Kunis ever got any action.
