0:00.0	You're listening to the Girl Next Door podcast. I'm Kelsey.
0:06.8	And I'm Erica. We're two former next door neighbors and good friends who love a good chat and a good laugh.
0:12.5	We're inviting you to come on in, have a drink, and stay a while.
0:15.7	Hey, friend.
0:16.3	Hey, friend. Before we get into today's episode, we have two housekeeping notes.

1:03.6	Time tells a love story across the ages and for the ages about a man lost in time, the woman
1:09.6	who could save him, and the lifetimes it can take to
1:12.4	learn how to live. It is a big-hearted, wildly original novel about losing and finding
1:17.1	yourself, the inevitability of change, and how with enough time to learn, we just might find
1:22.4	happiness. And the last part of the excerpt, perhaps the only thing that you actually need to know, quote,

1:32.6	Boom.
