Happy August Book Club Day! We’re diving into our thoughts on One-Star Romance by Laura Hankin. (Spoiler: we adored it!) We talk about the balance of the romance versus friendship plotlines, the relatability of the debut novelist interior monologue, and how the pandemic was incorporated into the plot. Also, the author calls in to answer a listener question!
