Happy Bank Hol! For a bonus bank holiday treat, I'm giving you this week's Books to Screen episode early. For this instalment, I was joined by the iconic author Hannah Beer to discuss and dissect all things Heated Rivalry and boy are we obsessed... 
In this episode we discuss all things from the incredible sex scenes to the parent/child relationships & their impact on each character, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie as the perfect castings, how the book and TV adaptation are in conversation plus so much more.
