This week we are heading to Brooklyn and the home of Award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author Ada Calhoun! Ada wrote the fantastic history of New York St Marks is Dead and the hugely popular memoir Wedding Toasts I'll Never Give. Her new book is the already bestselling Why We Can't Sleep: Women's New Midlife Crisis. We talked to her about New York writers, the New York Post, true crime, memoir, Dolly Parton and rediscovering classic YA.
