89: Erin White on Like Family, Midlife Friendships, Secrets & the Complexity of Modern Relationships

In this episode of In My Good Books, I’m joined by author Erin White to discuss her debut novel Like Family, a beautiful story about friendship, family, and what it really means to reach midlife. We talk about why Erin describes the book as a “coming of middle age” novel, and how this often-overlooked life stage can be just as transformative and turbulent as adolescence. At the heart of the story are three interconnected couples whose lives are bound together through friendship, family ties, and shared history, all set against the backdrop of a small rural community.
