Emily Giffin, MEANT TO BE: A Novel

#1 New York Times bestseller Emily Giffin returns to talk with Zibby about her eleventh novel, Meant to Be, which was inspired in part by John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's tragic love story. Emily shares why she wanted to return to the nineties for this book, where she continues to find inspiration for each new story (hint: it starts with thinking of her fans), and why she's such a sucker for love stories. The two also discuss how to cultivate an audience with authenticity and their mutual appreciation for the way female writers support one another in the literary world.
