(500) Days of Summer: a near perfect movie, just not the one you want it to be

In today’s Complicated Conversations, Kate chats with internationally bestselling author Amy Meyerson about her first work of psychological suspense, The Water Lies, a gripping journey where two mothers―one of a woman who drowned and the other of a toddler who might know what happened to her―are the only ones searching for the truth.

The conversation delves into the dual perspectives of the two mothers, Tessa and Barb, exploring themes of motherhood, anxiety, intuition, and the psychological suspense genre. Amy shares insights into her character development, the significance of setting in Venice Beach, and her personal experiences that shaped the narrative. The discussion also touches on the importance of trusting one's instincts, both in writing and in motherhood, and ends, as always, with a touch of astrology and Amy’s current favorites in books and media.

The Water Lies is out now! Buy it, read it, share it, and listen to our spoiler-free chat.
