Summary

My book loving besties! I'm so excited to be back again with another fantastic author.

In this episode of Gilmore To Read, the New York Times Bestselling author Jasmine Guillory joins me to talk about Reading Is Sexy's book club pick for April: her latest book, Flirting Lessons. We also chat about what girlhood moment got her into the romance genre, what episode a friend sent her on VHS, and how she reflects on the mother/daughter relationship in Gilmore girls. Plus, hear what inspired Taylor Cameron as the heartbreaker in Flirting Lessons (Sapphic Rory & Logan anyone???)

In August, Gilmore To Read is taking a break from book club selections to prep for Gilmore girls fall, but we'll be back in September with A Witch's Guide To Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna

0:18.2	a day it is, that you come across this episode because I had the best
0:21.9	time with today's guest, the divine Jasmine Guillory, who I absolutely loved chatting with. She is
0:27.6	such a vibrant and fun person. And of course, we discussed her latest book, Flirting Lessons,
0:32.8	which was our book club pick for Reading a Sexy for April, which is our romance-specific Gilmore-inspired
