Off The Shelf with Morgann Book

Join Lauren Roberts, the talented author behind the viral Powerless trilogy, who started her writing journey at just 18. She shares the unexpected story of her path to publication and the anticipation that built before fans finally experienced that first kiss. Laurens spills hot takes on the evolution of young adult fiction and discusses her dream of adaptations for her work. They also chat about future projects, including a potential genre switch and her favorite scenes, making for a lively, insightful conversation.

Welcome to the book club. In this solo deep-dive, Morgann shares her initial (and very bold) theories, the reveals that threw her off track, and the romantic undercurrent she didn’t see coming. Whether you loved the dual timelines or were confused by the 14-year span, there’s something here for every book club brain. Plus: favourite quotes, hot takes, and a few similar recs to keep you turning pages. In case you missed this month or are ready to jump into May book club, we'll be reading: Promise Me Sunshine by Cara Bastone!
