My OG and inaugural Books Are Chic guest, Jamie Brenner, is back — and this time, we’re celebrating her latest novel, The Weekend Crashers 🧶✨ Inspired by her love of knitting, this story delivers Gilmore Girls fall vibes, complete with a charming inn and a cozy knitting retreat weekend.

We had the best time catching up — chatting about Jamie’s writing journey, her shift from beach reads to sweater-weather fiction, and why knitting holds such a special place in her heart. She even opened up about her recent reading slump (yes, authors have them too!) and how she found her way out.

As always, Jamie was fun, insightful, and full of creative energy — and she may or may not have dropped a sneak peek at a new project that’s giving Dallas, Dynasty, and all our favorite soaps... Jamie Brenner style.
