Bustle Booth
I spent all summer learning how to do a backflip.
Siu coincidentally lives around the corner fromAldertons old stomping ground, too.
Though that isnt why she landed the role.
Its super close to where I live now.
Sius Nell draws on a number of friends who appear throughout the original book, for instance.
So Nell is very straight-talking.
Shes not a people-pleaser, and she really has her head screwed on.
Mirandas my gut instinct, she says.
Whats good aboutSATCis that weve all got bits of [every character] in us.
Shes a really good person.
If were all Miranda at our core, thats no bad thing.
I grew up really wanting to live in the city.
I couldnt do it, she side-notes.
I was like, my dreams over.
