The Women's Podcast · Author Lily King on the unexpected success of ‘Heart the Lover’ · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

Yeah, I met him when I was when I was 15 and then briefly and I saw him the next summer and bam, I just I...

You know, it was really a coup de foudre, as they say in France.

It was really a lightning strike.

And I had a huge crush on him for something like eight years until he looked my way.

Yes, it was crazy.

And what I don't say in the essay, which is just kind of an even crazier story, is that...

you know, I loved him from afar and I moved a lot of different places.

And I ended up in Paris at, you know, age 22, 23.

And I went to a dinner party.

I only knew one person at the dinner party.

And I met all these people.

And it was June.

And the host of the party was going back

to his brother's graduation and his brother was graduating from the same college that this guy was graduating from a big college.

And it was Harvard.

And, uh, and I said, well, if you happen to see a guy named blah, blah, blah.

Yeah.

Um,

you know tell him i say hi well this guy i mean it was such a toss-off at a at a party where we were all drinking i mean it never occurred to me that he would actually follow through but he looked in the program of the graduation and he found him and he went up to him and he didn't say lily king says hi he said lily king gives you a big fat kiss

I don't know why he said that.
