Mean girl vibes. I sincerely hope LG’s team (or any other celebrity) sees through them, thoroughly vetting to consider another amazing GG podcast hosted by other, more humble women.

Love it
I am so glad that I came across this podcast. I can put on my headphones and just listen for hours. I love Gimore girls. All the characters, love them or leave them, become family.
My one and only gripe about this podcast is the inconsistency in volume between the content and the ads. The ads about blow my ears out.

Ladies - when you go to make a “poignant” statement, please do NOT drop the volume of your voice. We can NOT hear you. Again please do NOT drop your voice.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gilmore To Read: Beck Dorey Stein's Graduation Was Covered By Rory Gilmore?

Q: How did Beck's real-life experiences influence the book's themes, particularly soccer as metaphor?

She describes soccer as the perfect metaphor for boundaries and competition, reflecting how real life pressures, parental expectations, and mentorship shape identity and relationships, which she uses toanchor the sisters' journey and their mother's legacy.

Gilmore To Read: Emma Brodie's Ode To The 2000s

Q: What is your day-to-day writing routine given you also have a full-time editing job?

There isn't a strict daily routine. I work around meetings and try to write when energy allows, often in blocks of four to five hours at a time, balancing drafting with editing. Morning pages and walks are part of the health routine, but schedules vary day to day depending on work commitments and life.

Gilmore To Read: Emma Brodie's Ode To The 2000s

Q: How do you balance world-building elements like articles, dailies, and scripts within a romance novel to keep it engaging without overwhelming the reader?

I write the story first and insert world-building placeholders. Then I populate those with specifics—songs, articles, scripts—only as needed to enhance the world and the reader's immersion. If a detail doesn't serve the narrative or reader experience, it doesn't stay. It's about trusting the reader and keeping a tight focus on character and emotional payoff.

Gilmore To Read: Emma Brodie's Ode To The 2000s

Q: What made you want to start Into The Blue with a prologue set in 2013 before jumping back to 2000?

The prologue was about establishing stakes and showing how far the characters have come, while also signaling the emotional weight of where their story will go. The choice to begin with a future moment was deliberate to hook readers and then pull them back into the present journey, highlighting the book's long arc and the consequences of choices.

Gilmore To Read: Lynn Painter Is First & Forever A Jess Girl

Q: Which trope would you write forever if you could choose?

Fake dating remains a favorite because it offers endless ways to spin dynamics, humor, and emotional payoff while staying grounded in a believable, playful setup.
