Episode 149
#149 - Author Chat w/ Meredith Ireland
On this episode, we chat with author Meredith Ireland about her debut YA novel The Jasmine Project, a romantic comedy about a girl named Jasmine, freshly "on-break" with her kinda shitty boyfriend, who's loving and meddlesome family sets up a makeshift Bachelorette style dating competition for her... without her knowledge of course. We have a fun chat with Meredith about her journey as a writer, as well as her inspirations for her wild and ultimately heartwarming debut novel.
