Emily Henry

Books, Beach, & Beyond

You asked, we listened! Our guest today is #1 New York best-selling writer Emily Henry, author of Beach Read, Book Lovers, People We Meet on Vacation, Happy Place, and Funny Story. We start with Emily’s origin story as a YA writer turned romance queen we know today. We talk about her first novel Beach Read, the pressure for each new book, introverted writers being in the spotlight, naming characters, Emily’s favorite date night, and the qualities she looks for in new friends. We chat Hollywood adaptations, what makes each Emily Henry book different, and reading your own book reviews online. Stick around to the end for Emily’s speed round of favorite books and authors and to hear Emily, Elin, and Tim’s favorite rom com films!
