Summary

New York Times bestselling author Jasmine Guillory returns to talk about her latest novel, While We Were Dating. Jasmine tells Zibby about how her characters often appear to her fully formed, the effects writing during the pandemic has had on both this story and her next project, and why she made sure to portray her celebrity protagonist as a star just like us. The two also discuss if Jasmine casts her romantic characters in her mind and what readers can expect from her upcoming contemporary retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
