This week on Binge Reading, Annabel Monaghan and the ultimate summer nostalgia read about an engaged woman who comes face to face with her first love who she hasn't seen in 14 years. What happens next calls into question, everything she thought she knew about their love story and herself.

Hi there. I'm your host, Jenny Wheeler, and on Binge Reading today, Annabel talks about Same Time Next Summer, her latest funny good-hearted romcom, just the thing to get through the winter or to laugh over at the beach.

Introducing romcom author Annabel Monaghan

Annabel Monaghan

Jenny Wheeler: But now here's Annabel. Hello there, Annabel, and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us.

Annabel Monaghan: Thank you. I am so happy to be here

Jenny Wheeler: Romance is a genre I notice is changing quite remarkably from maybe five or seven years ago. There's a lot more “life” in the stories as well as the romance, and your stories are a typical example of that.

These days it's about much more than finding the right guy, isn't it?
