Summary
Hannah Brown, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author and The Bachelorette star, joins Zibby to discuss her sparkling new rom-com, THE FOUR ENGAGEMENT RINGS OF SYBIL RAIN, which she describes as White Lotus meets Sex and the City meets Mamma Mia. Hannah delves into her novel’s themes of self-worth, identity, love, and embracing one's true self, and then shares how her characters often mirror her own struggles and breakthroughs (oh, and how her real-life romance influenced her fictional love interest!). Finally, she shares her future writing plans for the “core four” friend group, her dreams of adapting the book for film or TV, and what it’s like to launch a book right before her own wedding.
