About Infatuated
From the publisher's feed
Writers, hopeless romantics and best friends Rebecca Baird and Emily Fletcher attempt to legitimise their English Lit degrees by talking a lot about stories. We’ll talk books, films, and music, share…
our own writing journeys and delight listeners far and wide with our adorable friendship. When it comes to good stories, we’re obsessive, we’re effusive, we’re analytical... well we’re just completely Infatuated.
