Erin O. White, LIKE FAMILY: A Novel

Debut novelist Erin O. White joins Zibby to discuss her tender and beautifully crafted book, LIKE FAMILY (a Barnes & Noble Book Club and Sarah Selects pick!). The two discuss the novel’s intertwined families in upstate New York, its exploration of queer domestic life, desire in middle age, teenage turmoil, female friendship, and the quiet truths of long-term relationships. Erin also reflects on her writing process, the challenges of parenting teens, and her evolution from memoirist to novelist.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/4axtBM4Share, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
