Summary
Gilmore Girls lovers, on Wednesdays, we talk books!!!
#1 New York Times bestseller and one of the greatest YA novelist ever, Sarah Dessen, is back for the first time in seven years with a new novel CHANGE OF PLANS. This book is perfect for any longtime Sarah Dessen fans, for anyone who still feels the teenager inside of them, or for a teen reader who might want to find a story to find yourself in. The exploration of finding a love that sees you after your first love overshadowed you is so well aligned for Gilmore fans (um, Dean v Jess anyone?) Plus a complicated mother daughter relationship at the center. What works better for us Gilmore lovers?!
In this episode, Sarah and I talk about her earliest days of writing teen stories were her own teenage days, how having a teenage girl affects writing about teenagers, why she's always been a Gilmore girls fans, and all your burning questions you submitted. Plus-- her thoughts on writing adult romance novels!!! You won't want to miss her change of plans!
