Join the Squad and special guest Tirzah Price to chat about “Make Up Break Up,” the first novel for adults by Lily Menon! We discuss the romance, the characters, and of course, the fancy apps the love interests each created. Next we talk to Tirzah about her debut YA novel, “Pride and Premeditation.” She tells us about the inspiration for the series, the writing process, and what to look for in upcoming books! Then we get into some listener feedback for “When No One is Watching” and catch up with what’s on the Book Squad Blog, including new installments of YA Book Club and Queer Girl Book Club, as well as TV and podcast reviews. Join us and special guest Clay McLeod Chapman on May 3rd for our discussion of “House of the Devil” (2009) and Clay’s new novel, “Whisper Down the Lane.” Read along with us for our next Bookpisode on “Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982” by Cho Nam Joo on May 17th. Send your feedback to thesquad@booksquadgoals.com or hit us up on social media!
