Guests: Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera - Here's to Us
b'
In our first episode for 2022, Marissa chats with Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera about their new contemporary romance - HERE'S TO US - as well as our semi-charmed road-to-publication stories; the expectations within the romance genre and how it can strengthen the story to approach every relationship as if you don't already know how it's going to end; lots of talk about writing loveable secondary characters, from best friends to boyfriends; how deadlines and pandemics impacted the collaborative process between two different books, and some pros and cons of each method; and the role of the capital-U Universe in both contemporary fiction and real life.
