Happy Sunday! This week on OTS I chat with YA author and psychologist Jodie Benveniste about her first novel, Never, Not Ever. In the book we join 16-year-old Tilly as she ventures into her worst birthday yet, grieving her grandmother and longing for the father she’s never known while attempting to figure our her feelings for the boy-next-door, Zack. Jodie and I dive into the novel, how and what her experience as a psychologist brought new insight when it came to creating characters and Jodie’s road as an author
