Boobies & Noobies: A Romance Review Podcast
Arts:Books
Summary:
New York Times bestselling author of romantic fiction, Lauren Layne, joins Kelly to discuss her recent release, To Sir with Love, everything we love about Nora Ephron, the almighty queen of romcom writing, and the magnetic appeal of a "high school kinda love". *Please note, this episode was recorded back in May 2021, well before the release of To Sir with Love. Hopefully, by this point, Lauren has fully-binged both "The Circle" and "Love is Blind"...
