Hey well read baddies! Welcome to another #Black365 minisode. Today, we sit down with Kristina Forest, the bestselling author of The Neighbor Favor, The Partner Plot, and her newest release, The Love Lyric—the final book in the Greene Sisters series. Kristina shares insights into writing heartfelt romance, balancing escapism with realistic storytelling, and how BookTok has transformed the publishing industry. She also opens up about the friendships that inspired the Greene Sisters series (shoutout to a Threads follower for this great question!). And of course, we couldn’t wrap this episode without discussing Beyoncé’s mysterious pending announcement at the time of recording… and today’s update? It’s a tour! 👑🚀

Don’t miss this fun and insightful chat! 🎧 Listen now and let us know: Which Kristina Forest book is your fave? Drop us a message on IG, Threads, or Bookum Book Club!
