This week on Off The Shelf, Morgann sits down with Hannah Bonam-Young, author of Out on a Limb and the recently released People Watching. With People Watching releasing on September 9th, they catch up on life, writing, and all the little moments in between (including Taylor Swift’s engagement and how big a deal Halloween is…) The two also dive into: The pregnancy trope done right, what it was like for Hannah to write characters shaped by her own lived experiences, and how People Watching came to be.
