Sarah Harman, ALL THE OTHER MOTHERS HATE ME

Journalist turned novelist Sarah Harman joins Zibby to discuss her biting, twisty, utterly delightful thriller, ALL THE OTHER MOTHERS HATE ME, which follows a washed-up girl band star turned reluctant mom detective at the center of a missing child investigation. Sarah talks about her unconventional writing process, the challenges of creating an unlikable yet relatable protagonist, and balancing creative ambition and motherhood. She also talks about the pressures of “Plan B” careers, her experience adapting her book for FX, and the eternal question of what it really means to be a “good mom.”Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/4cdEUImShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
