Is this just a straight-up rip off of Cringe or what? Just a land grab for a book deal, one which, you know, already exists?
Ha!
Well, to answer your questions:
1. I hadn’t heard of Cringe until you pointed it out, but, hmm, yeah! They’re similar. (Then again, it’s not the most original idea anyway…) (Oh, edited to add: I see you’re at Crown. Are you Cringe’s editor?)
2. And it’s not a land grab for a book deal. (I already, uh, have one of those. Not to be a jerk or anything.) I’ve just sort of been obsessed with my own teenage years lately and I finally discovered where I’d been hiding all these notes and journals from high school, and I thought it would be fun to put them up.
3. Chill with the cynicism!
