Daisy Alpert Florin, MY LAST INNOCENT YEAR
from Totally Booked with Zibby
Zibby speaks to debut author Daisy Alpert Florin about My Last Innocent Year, a propulsive, evocative, and dark coming-of-age story about Isabel Rosen and the sexual assault that throws her final semester at an elite New Hampshire school into controversy, chaos, and an affair with a married professor. Daisy talks about 90s campus culture and her protagonist’s experience with sexual assault and grief (which, Daisy shares, was unexpectedly inspired by her own mother’s premature death). Finally, Daisy shares the books she's loved recently and describes her career trajectory, from newspaper reporter and preschool teacher to stay-at-home mom and published author.Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: http://bit.ly/3krTpSsPurchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3KJ7G7KSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.** If you enjoy recommending things you love and even earning from it, you have to become a creator on ShopMy!
