Author Jo Piazza joins me to chat about her new juicy-as-hell thriller Everyone Is Lying to You—and we go deep on the influencer world, the dark side of “tradwife” culture, and how social media is messing with women’s heads (and lives). Jo is as sharp and funny as her writing, and this was such a fun, thoughtful conversation. Don’t miss it!Website: https://www.jopiazza.com/IG: @jopiazzaauthor

51: Chat with Emily Harding
I had the best time chatting with author Emily Harding about her brand-new book How Freaking Romantic! We talked all about what it was like for her to go from co-writing with her best friend to releasing her very first solo novel—and how fun (and maybe a little scary!) that process was. Emily is such a joy and a total champion of the romance genre. If you love books that celebrate love and authors who aren’t afraid to gush about it, you’re going to love this episode!Website: https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Emily-Harding/193899432https://audreyandemily.com/IG: @emilyhardingwrites
