On this episode of Complicated Conversations, we are joined by New York Times bestselling author Sophie Cousens. She is the author of This Time Next Year and Just Haven\\u2019t Met You Yet. We talk with her about Before I Do, her new novel that asks the question: what would you do if \\u201cthe one that got away\\u201d turned up the night before your wedding?!

We chat with Sophie about \\u201cmommy issues\\u201d and the way her heroine, Audrey, is affected by the choices her mother has made; why she thinks the one that got away or the \\u201cwhat if\\u201d love interest is so popular in fiction; how she came to understand Audrey, her complicated protagonist with a \\u201cheavy\\u201d soul; what is love and how her novel explores all the permutations of love, lust, and connection; why love is dominated by a scarcity mentality and whether you can have more than one true love; who is worthy of love; and, of course, how the stars and astrology factor into all this!
