About this episode
It's time for our July Book Club and today we are discussing American Spy . We are so honored that the author, Lauren Wilkinson, is joining us remotely! We talk about the book, her writing process (she rewrote it SIX times!), how the book began (a grad school assignment about a suburban family) and why she chose to leave the book open-ended. We also talk about more difficult social topics and how that inspired the book. This interview was so interesting. Also in this episode, Grace is feeling like a celebrity (she went on a yoga retreat with a personal chef and she just got verified on Instagram) and Becca admits that she still thinks about the game Bloody Mary every time she goes to the bathroom at night.
