Anna and the French Kiss
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Alli is joined by romance author Alana Albertson to dish about Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. Tune in to hear them chat about everything from cheating love interests and the meaning of home to film adaptations and privilege. They also talk quite a bit about the romance genre, touching on the sexist nature of the way it’s often criticized, how love stories are plotted, and so much more.
Alana Quintana Albertson has written thirty romance novels, rescued five-hundred death-row shelter dogs, and danced one thousand rumbas. Her latest book Ramón and Julieta is now available. Follow her on Instagram (@authoralanaalbertson) and Twitter (@AlanaAlbertson).
