We've got a Substack publication now! On the last day of the month, we share recommendations for two things we reckon you should read/watch/listen to. The beauty of Substack is you can revisit all our old editions and comment on our episode updates to share your thoughts. Come say hi!
And take a look at our festive recommendations here!
Caitlin recommends: Heartstopper Vol 5
A beautiful continuation of Nick and Charlie's story. This series is perfect, we couldn't love it more.
Michelle recommends: The Gifts by Laura Barnett
A heartwarming festive novel, told through 12 interconnecting stories of people searching for gifts for their loved ones.
In this interview, we chat about:
- Teenage friendship circles and having a 'best friend'
- Writing realistic parents in YA
- Coming up with book titles
- Exploring different types of grief through a teen lens
- How Megan wrote around parenting two (now three) small children
