Zibby welcomes #1 New York Times bestselling author Laura Dave back to the podcast to discuss THE FIRST TIME I SAW HIM, the highly anticipated sequel to THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME, continuing Hannah Hall’s pulse-pounding journey. The two chat about the origins of the story, why Laura never expected to write a sequel, and the creative process behind its intricate plotting and emotional themes. Laura also shares insights about adapting her work for television, collaborating with Jennifer Garner on the hit Apple TV+ series, and the deep connection she feels with readers who have embraced these characters.
