from Totally Booked with Zibby

"The idea that people value what you wrote enough to give you that time to read it...what a privilege that time was spent with your book." Zibby is joined by debut novelist Xochitl Gonzalez to talk about her book, Olga Dies Dreaming, out this week. The two talk about Xochitl's thirteen-year career as a luxury wedding planner as well as when she knew it was time to make a change, which led her down a path to publication. Xochitl also shares why her protagonist is like her if she had never started therapy, which aspects of the book were inspired by her real life, and how important it was for her to be involved in the Hulu adaption of the novel.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3HWvEaVBookshop: https://bit.ly/3nmgrICSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.
