Guest host Allison Pataki interviews Elyssa Friedland about The Most Likely Club, an endearing and hilarious new novel about four life-long friends who haven't (yet) lived up to their sparkling high school yearbook superlatives. Elyssa talks about growing up in the 90s (and weaving her nostalgia into the story), the challenges of parenting and motherhood that she and her characters navigate daily, and the importance of friendship in her life and book. She also delves into each of her unique female characters, describes a day in her hectic life, and teases her upcoming children’s book.
