Hi, Should-Heads! Today, we are so excited to share our conversation with Alena Dillon! Her second novel, The Happiest Girl in the World, was one of Julia's most anticipated books for April and for good reason. It's a ripped-from-the-headlines story that's infuriating and devastating in equal measure.
