Show Notes


My guest this week is podcast community favorite Alisha Rai! We start off catching up on our history of podcasting together, our life changes, and the challenges of making children wear coats.


Then it’s enemies to lovers time! Her new book, Enemies to Lovers is out now, and we both brought the good trowels. We dig into the trope to examine how it works, what the essential elements are, and what can easily go wrong. Along the way we touch on:

  • How much we miss buddy road trip comedies
  • The weight of being an elder daughter
  • And her perspective on the threat of AI to authors


Video is available on our YouTube channel!
