Literary Lovers Lock Themselves In Attic To Avoid Chores By Writing Novels

Listen, we all know the quickest way to a divorce is trying to assemble a flat-pack wardrobe together, but Justine Larbalestier and her better half have decided to play even more dangerous games. They didn't plan on writing a book together, but apparently, the muse hit them like a sack of overdue library books and now they’re sharing a keyboard like some sort of high-stakes game of Twister for intellectuals. Word on the street is that Justine, the genius behind 'Liar' and 'My Sister Rosa', suddenly realized that two heads are better than one when it comes to dreaming up teenage angst. While most couples are arguing over whose turn it is to take the bins out, these two are fighting over whether the protagonist should wear a leather jacket or a cardigan in chapter five. It’s basically 'The Shining' but with more snacks and less tricycle-riding twins. Fans are worried this collab might lead to some serious household drama. Rumor has it the only way they settled their latest plot point was a thumb-wrestling match over the last of the artisanal coffee. If this book doesn't win every award in existence, we honestly fear for their living room furniture. Writing a novel together is a bold move, but at least it’s better than starting a shared Instagram account for their cat.
