Bestselling author Jamie Brenner returns to the podcast to discuss A NOVEL SUMMER, a delightful, sun-soaked beach read about a novelist who returns to the beach town where she spent her college summers… only to face her old friends’ reactions to the recognizable elements in her novels. Jamie reflects on how summer triggers nostalgia and introspection about friendships—and then delves into the different types of friendships, from college friends to “mom trenches” friends. She touches on her writing process, the publishing industry’s focus on books for younger women (driven by TikTok!), and her next project.
