Zibby chats with co-authors Rachel Dodes and Lauren Mechling about THE MEMO, a smart, addictive, bittersweet, and ultimately triumphant debut novel about a woman who is approaching her 36th birthday, feeling like she missed life’s crucial “memo” as her friends succeed while she struggles—until she’s given the "memo” and can go back in time… Lauren and Rachel, who co-wrote the novel during the pandemic, drew from their experiences as underemployed freelancers, questioning the small choices that led them there. They discuss ambition, regrets, societal pressures, unseen struggles, and the subjective nature of success. They also share invaluable insights on their collaborative writing process.
