Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with Cara Bastone, author of No Matter What!

Cara is a full time writer living and writing in Brooklyn with her husband, sons, and an almost-goldendoodle. Her goal with her work is to find the swoon in ordinary love stories. 

She's been a fan of the romance genre since finding a grocery bag filled with her grandmother’s old Harlequin Romances when she was in high school. Cara is a fangirl for pretzel sticks, long walks through Prospect Park, and love stories featuring men who aren’t hobbled by their own masculinity. 

Listen in as we chat more about Cara’s books, ordinary love stories, and books written specifically for listening. Be sure to follow her @carabastone
