Get ready for a lot of laughs as we chat with rom-com author Sophie Sullivan about her new book A Guide to Being Just Friends! We also talk about our favorite moments to write, the challenges of writing under two different names (and in different genres), and the undeniable pull of TV dramas. We also lament the fact that romance graphic novels are not a thing (someone get on that please!). We haven't laughed this hard in a long time, we hope you find some laughs in this episode too!

We have a very special episode for you today as we celebrate the birth of Falon's second book baby, JUST MY TYPE. We are joined by Falon's fabulous editor Gaby Mongelli who gives us the inside scoop on the editing process. We chat all about how writing your second book is the worst--and if you are a writer who is struggling with this, please tune in because Gaby gives some incredible insight that made both Courtney and Falon feel much better about second book syndrome! We also gossip about some of the latest Broadway gossip (mostly dealing with the one and only Aaron Tveit) and all things musicals. Thank you for celebrating JUST MY TYPE with us!
