  1. Number 1: Deep Dive: Emily Henry

    The first in our series: Author Deep Dives. In this episode, we unpack the meteoric rise of young millennial romance book icon, Emily Henry. We answer all the questions: What are our own experiences with her writing? Where did she come from? What's the scouting report on her books? And then we enter into the debates: Is she a mirror or an engine? Could her books be written by someone else? Who's on her corner? What is her VORA Score in terms of craft, conversion, degree of difficulty, and personality? We wrap it up with how will we consider her in 2046.
