Today, Kayla had the exciting opportunity to speak to one of her all-time favorite authors, Lisa Jewell, for a very fun author interview about her latest book, The Night She Disappeared (which Kayla covered in a recent episode, linked below). Keep listening for a great conversation about Lisa Jewell’s writing process, her missing character tropes, whether we’ll ever get a universe from this popular author, and Lisa’s journey from romantic comedies into the thriller genre that she primarily writes in now. Plus! Some exclusive info about the anticipated The Family Upstairs sequel, The Family Remains, which comes out next summer. **WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM 17:55-25:26** -- if you haven’t read this yet and you don’t want to spoil the ending for yourself, skip ahead! We hope you enjoy this convo as much as we did! Feel free to send us a note about this interview, Lisa’s book, your favorite thrillers, rom-coms, or anything in between at booksandthecitypod@gmail.com. ------------------------>
