AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Hannah Orenstein

22 Jun 2020

Description

We’re switching things up with an author interview on Monday, because author Hannah Orenstein’s fantastic new book, Head Over Heels, goes on sale tomorrow! Kayla and Emily are lucky enough to chat with this real-life Carrie Bradshaw about her personal experiences in the world of competitive gymnastics, which served as inspiration for her new book. Head Over Heels is a rom-com about a former elite gymnast who just missed her chance to qualify for the Olympics. She returns to the sport post-breakup, seven years later, to coach a new Olympic hopeful, when sparks start flying with her fellow coach. The girls chat with Hannah about all things summer Olympics, so this should fill the void if you’re sad to be missing them this summer. They also discuss Hannah’s research process, her favorite elite gymnasts, her favorite floor routine moves, her go-to writing cocktails, and her day-job writing about relationships and dating for Elite Daily. Keep listening for some fun dating app talk and a Love Island rabbit hole, and read on for buy links! Please feel free to drop us a line about this interview, Hannah’s novels, or anything else you'd like to tell us at [email protected]. ------------------------> Head Over Heels by Hannah Orenstein: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Head-Over-Heels/Hannah-Orenstein/9781982121471 Hannah just read: They Wish They Were Us by Jessica Goodman https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/610616/they-wish-they-were-us-by-jessica-goodman/ Up next for Hannah: The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/553185/the-great-believers-by-rebecca-makkai/
