Summary
This week we try our first Holderness Book Club! Nikki Erlick, author of The Measure, joins us this week to discuss her New York Times Bestselling novel. (While I have read the book, Penn is representing the book club member who just comes for the wine.) We talk to Nikki about the inspiration around her book, how the pandemic influenced it, and she answers your questions.
We stayed away from spoilers, so if you still want to read the book this will be a good starting point. The premise of the book is thought-provoking regardless if you read it or not: If you could know the length of your life, would you want to find out? Learn more about Nikki here: https://www.nikkierlick.com/.
Let us know what you thought about our new format and what book we should do next! Call 323-364-3929 or email us at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com.
