As I’m sure many of you are aware, Ally Condie makes a genuine effort to tweet back to fans and always has nice things to say to people. I happened to tweet her a random thought and got a really wonderful response! I figured I’d share:

The reason I tweeted her that: Of all the YA heroines, Cassia seems to be the sweetest, most kind-hearted character. It’s not always easy to make your protagonist such a good person and remain interesting, but Condie manages to do that incredibly well. We can all relate to Cassia, but at the same time, we admire her and wish we could emulate her personality. That’s a real accomplishment!
