This is a book about how precarious life can be, about the way a little tear can expound deeper damage. voice-verified

As any golfer will tell you, when she hits the ball perfectly, she just feels it. voice-verified

And with the amateur, it's clear that Chris Bergelian knew he was writing a showstopper. voice-verified

The novel poured out of him, the fastest he's written in years. voice-verified

And as a reader, you can feel that velocity on every page. voice-verified

The book is effortless, emotional, gripping, and the most propulsive thing I've read in ages. voice-verified

Now, this is written by Jenny Jackson, who we've had on our deep dive before. voice-verified

Jenny is a dream editor. voice-verified

So first, Chris, can you tell us a bit about what it's like to work with Jenny? voice-verified

And then secondly, I'd love to hear how this book poured out of you so quickly. voice-verified

Yeah, she's just incredible. voice-verified

Like you say, as a writer, as an editor, voice-verified

In terms of the idea for the book, Chris, which you said came out of you, like, what, first draft, 90 days? voice-verified

Was it something that you'd been thinking of all the time, back of your mind, while writing other books? voice-verified

Or did you finish the last book and this one just popped into your head? voice-verified

That's incredible. voice-verified

Are you normally, do you normally plot things? voice-verified

Do you paint things? voice-verified

And in comparison, how long do, in average, your other books take to write? voice-verified

Savor it when you have it. voice-verified
