Sometimes you invite an author onto your podcast because their book sounds fabulous. And then sometimes, you discover their book is amazing and they're your Bravo and pop culture soulmate.

Erica Hendry's debut, Let's Not Go Overboard Here, is a love letter to the Bravoverse and anyone who considers pop culture a second language. Trust me when I say this one belongs in your beach bag this summer.

This wildly entertaining mystery, set aboard a luxury yacht, will have you missing your favorite Below Deck crew while racing to uncover what really happened. I loved every minute of my conversation with Erica, from the inspiration behind the novel to her encyclopedic knowledge of all things pop culture, her journey to publication, and what's next for her career.

And Andy Cohen, if you're listening, Erica is your next Watch What Happens Live bartender. No receipts, proof, timelines, or screenshots required.
