This week, Kate interviews Emily Henry (author of Beach Read, People We Meet on Vacation, Book Lovers, Happy Place, and more!) about her wildly successful rom-com style novels and the many millennial-adjacent themes that are woven into her beloved characters. They discuss pressing topics, like if her banter is inspired by Gilmore Girls, the location of January and Gus’ houses in Beach Read, having her books optioned for movies, what it’s like trying to maintain creative control, etc. in addition to recurring BTIF themes such as vacation boyfriends, T Swift lyrics, the mystique of effortless women, how we judge female protagonists versus male love interests, and much more. Enjoy!
