GMA Book Club Pick alert! Zibby speaks to debut author Disha Bose about Dirty Laundry, a wonderfully dark and twisty novel about a group of young mothers and what ensues when the popular one is found dead. Disha reveals she put a bit of herself in all of her characters, particularly Mishti – the Indian woman living in Ireland and suffering from culture shock. She also talks about social media, motherhood, ironically-worn jeans, her lovely grandfather, and what it was like to finally find her voice and write this book in eight weeks.
