Juliet Rose is a fiction author with a passion for helping people improve their lives and become happier through story-telling. Her work is deep, honest, and often brutally painful (kind of like life sometimes!), but offers hope to those who are struggling with modern problems. We had a wonderful talk about the differences between fiction and non-fiction, the therapeutic aspect of writing and reading, and the possibility of redemption for past transgressions.

And then there's personality: are some personality types drawn to particular types of friends? Finally, is being "friends forever" a thing, and should we value this? Learn more about your ad choices.
