The Great Trope Debate feat. Tessa D'Errico

What this episode covers

We're kicking off our Week of Love 2024 with Tessa, author of No Coincidences, and we're talking all things we love to hate (and hate to love): tropes. What is a trope? What's a microtrope? Should we be looking for books based on microtropes? So many questions, and so many thoughts on it all. We're so excited for the rest of this week and all the fun surprises we've got in store for you! hosts: sam blocher and isa wilder guest: tessa d'errico follow Tessa on Instagram! follow us on socials for some sneak peeks, teasers, and great content! sam: @thesamlouiseb isa: @isabela.wilder Likewise on Instagram Likewise on YouTube support likewise :-)
