Summary

Lisa and Zibby fangirl over their admiration for one another as well as for Lisa's latest historical novel, Eternal, which continues to receive phenomenal reviews. Set in Rome over the span of 20 years, the story captures a love triangle between three characters coming of age during the weight of fascism. The two discuss how Lisa's failures still fuel her work ethic today, why this book feels like it might be Lisa's magnum opus, and, of course, their shared attraction to the novel's male leads.
