Summary
Gilmore Girls lovers, on Wednesdays, we talk books!!!
New York Times bestseller of small town romances Laurie Gilmore is here to continue our Very Daisy May we're having at Gilmore To Say with her latest installment of the Dream Harbour series, The Daisy Chain Flower Shop. Filled with all the small town charm, antics, and love you know well, a dash of the melancholy of heartbreak that litters our favorite show, and some fake dating with a curse, this book might just be your next read.
In this episode, Laurie and I talk about what went into deciding her very Gilmore coded pen name, how she's able to write so much in such a small window of time, and what her thoughts are on that lazy hazy daisy proposal from Max! She watched the episode to prepare just for y'all. That's so Rory of her! Plus she lets us in on a bit about her own proposal!
