Sally Hepworth is the New York Times bestselling author of six prior novels, including The Good Sister, The Mother-In-Law, and The Younger Wife is out now! ** After Sally describes The Younger Wife as yet another story of “really dysfunctional families,” Sally tells us about the sisters, Tully and Rachel. Apparently for Sally, the most “wild character” comes first, which we loved hearing about. (03:33)** Then there is Heather, the younger wife. Sally shares how she intentionally bucks the trope of this cliche in the creation of this novel and this character. (07:02)** The inspiration for this book is one of the best ever - it involves younger wives and a hot water bottle full of cash. Intrigued? You should be! The confluence of things that came together for Sally to inspire this book is incredibly entertaining! (09:40)** Sally is exceedingly funny and her social media presence is endlessly optimistic, but Sally gets candid about her personal stories of rejection. Somehow this veers into the most hysterical conversation about a swingers party that you will ever hear! (15:45)** We discuss the ingredients of what makes a Sally Hepworth book. Yet again, we end up laughing hysterically at a story Sally shared about her own loving, yet dysfunctional, family dynamics. (27:33)** Sally is Gemini and Carinn relates this back to her relationship with her Gemini husband. (32:16) ** Carinn and Sally agree about the pressures of having to go outside when it’s sunny. T-shirts that say “we are not trolls” will be forthcoming. (36:28)** We discuss Sally’s social media, her “Writerly Wednesdays”, and how she posts authentically. (39:50)** Sally shares what she is loving right now and a theme emerged involved fraudsters. (43:21)Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @popfictionwomen and on Twitter @pop_women.
