Once a married waitress in her late 20s, my dear friend and best selling author put everything on the line in order to go to grad school. The result? Her smash hit novel, Sweetbitter, and a career as a writer. We talk slumber parties, the beginning of our friendship (which involves DMs and my therapist) as well as the writing process, privilege and likability. A Sony Music Entertainment, Somethin’ Else, and Bitch Era Media production.  Find more great podcasts from Sony Music Entertainment at sonymusic.com/podcasts   To bring your brand to life on this podcast, email podcastadsales@sonymusic.com  Learn more about your ad choices.
