Hi Smooches, this is Meg and you're listening to Make Out Already. While Liz is out, tending to her wee babe, I've invited two new friends onto the podcast--co-authors Audrey Bellezza and Emily Harding. Their new book is Emma of 83rd Street, a retelling of the classic Jane Austen tale, but set in modern times on the upper East Side of Manhattan. Trust me, you are going to LOVE this contemporary romance version of Emma's story, which has the spice level that we've all been dying for. Audrey, Emily and I chat a bit about the book and their process, and then we talk about some of our favorite TV and movie adaptations of Austen's work. It's so fun. Stay tuned!
