Show Notes

New York Times bestselling author Celeste Ng (Little Fires Everywhere, Everything I Never Told You) chats with Brooke about the underlying meaning of her latest novel Our Missing Hearts, why she doesn't take public reaction to her work personally, and what it's like to take a back seat when a project gets adapted by Hollywood A-listers. Plus, Celeste reveals how a harrowing racist encounter from her childhood has forever changed the way she approaches injustices in the world.
