Our debut novel, Me For You, turns one (everyone say happy bday!). In celebration, we quiz each other on things that happen in the book, talk about things we're glad we changed, and give some silly never heard before commentary on the book!!

Back with another extremely fun guest episode for WOL 2026 with none other than the esteemed Editor Lauren of Author's Best Friend.

This is the one for you!! Make sure to check out Author's Best Friend to stay up to date on all their projects and availability to book!

It was so fun to sit in the author-interview hot seat for today's solo episode! Isa's questions for me were so thoughtful and I feel like I got to spill some fun secrets about my author things. Happy Week of Love day 1!!

Welcome to our third annual week of love! A week of daily episodes packed full of LOVE.

Listen to us chat through the schedule and update you on our current reads in today's kickoff ep!

We've declared 2026 as the year of intentional growth, so of course we had to talk about all the ways we plan to pursue growth and change this year. In true likewise fashion, we get carried away in some fun convos about our favorite Alani flavors, dream collabs, future careers in audiobook narration and...handwriting analysis?? Guess you'll just have to listen to find out!

Making predictions for the year last week was so fun we just had to make lists again this week. This time, we're sharing our personal "Ins" and "Outs" for the year and gosh was it fun to hear what each other picked!!
