Summary

Rosie Walsh returns for an Instagram Live with Zibby to discuss her latest novel, The Love of My Life, which is this month's GMA Book Club pick. The two talk about how this book took Rosie over four years to write and how she managed to work around her writer's block by typing her draft in white. They also talk about where to steal time for writing when raising young kids, what makes obituary writers so fascinating, and the research Rosie conducts to help make her characters feel so true-to-life.
