S5.E1 - The Night We Met by Abby Jimenez

We’re kicking off Season Five with The Night We Met by Abby Jimenez — a companion novel to Say You’ll Remember Me set in the same world. We get into the wrong-person trope, the slow build between Chris and Larissa, what loyalty and timing do to two people who are trying to do the right thing, and whether the pacing of the resolution worked for us.LinksOfficial author website: (https://www.authorabbyjimenez.com/)The Night We Met on Goodreads: (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/231801371-the-night-we-met)Abby Jimenez on Goodreads: (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/18446724.Abby_Jimenez)Chapters(00:00) - - Introduction (02:12) - - Why this book, Kristy?
