I'm so excited to be here today with Nicola Harrison.

Nicola is a native of England who studied literature at UCLA and received an MFA in

creative writing at Stony Brook.

She was the fashion and style staff writer at Forbes,

wrote a weekly column for Lucky, and has had work published in Los Angeles Magazine,

The Southampton Review, and many other publications. She also launched a personal styling

business, Harrison Style. She currently lives in New York and has spent many summers in Montauk.

She's the author also of Montauk. So welcome, Nicola. Thanks for

being on Momstone. Have time to read books. Thanks for having me. Everybody be gentle. This is

Nicholas' first podcast. Yes, it is. We're going to break her in nice and easy. Thank you.

So I read her book, Montauk, start to finish, like in one big chunk.

I sat on the couch and I read for six hours straight.
