LLW: Interview with Holly Bourne, author of Pretending

Loves Labours Watched

Loves Labours Watched goes virtual with our first social-distancing episode! Join us as we chat to one another from afar and call up bestselling author Holly Bourne! Holly talks to LLW about her fantastic new novel Pretending, which delves deep into complicated truths about modern life, love and dating apps. Holly also discusses her frustrations with the concept of "women's fiction", why she writes so candidly, plus, why she's loving Netflix's Love is Blind. Meanwhile, Helena's rewatched Disney's Robin Hood(the one with the suspiciously hot cartoon fox) while Francesca is seeking refuge from the world in Kleinfeld's Bridal store via Say Yes to the Dress. We're also both getting excited about Hollie Rubenhold's The Five. TW: Please note that Pretending deals with issues surrounding trauma and sexual violence.
