I am SHOCKED. That Jenna has not recommended this book and also interviewing Allen Levi……..
this is a book that will stick with anyone who reads it.
I hope someone is smart enough to make it into a movie
I love Jenna’s interview style because she goes deep with the authors on their story and background, while still keeping the episodes fun and fast moving! It’s a talent!
The music is the Taylor Swift song
Jenna asks great questions, listens to her guests, and seems to be truly invested in them. I love that each episode is fairly brief and that the conversation revolves around the joy of books while also injecting humor, personality, and overall great conversation.
Please…shut up with the constant “yes” thrown in. You don’t have to add that after every sentence your guest says. Geez!!
