from Reeding Between The Lines · host Sara Reed

In this episode, I sit down with Zoe Eisenberg—writer, award-winning filmmaker, and circus producer based on Hawai’i Island—to talk about her emotionally rich debut novel, Significant Others. Zoe’s creative work has been supported by Tribeca Studios and Netflix, and her storytelling spans from PBS screens to aerial silks with Aerial Arts Hawai’i, a queer and allied circus collective she co-founded.We dive into the heart of Significant Others, a poignant story about two best friends whose deep bond is tested over nine transformative months. Set against a lush Hawaiian backdrop, the novel unpacks the beauty and heartbreak of evolving friendships, shifting identities, and what happens when the life you planned with someone starts to unravel. If you've ever grieved a friendship or felt the growing pains of change, this one’s for you.🎧 LISTEN NOWApple podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/reeding-between-the-lines/id1744436935Instagram instagram.com/reedingpodFree Book Tracker reeding-between-the-lines.kit.com/trackerSpotify open.spotify.com/show/5Tslw66002aTNMINx8cSf0FIND ZOE https://zoeeisenberg.com/https://www.instagram.com/zoeisenberg/
