I'd Rather Be Reading
Emily Giffin on Her Most Courageous Novel Yet, The Summer Pact

I'd Rather Be Reading

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 9, 2024 52:14


When it comes to dream I'd Rather Be Reading guests—I'm talking about names at the top of the vision board—Emily Giffin would be right there at the apex. Yes, this is a nonfiction books podcast, but I do read fiction from time to time, and one fiction author whose books I never miss is Emily Giffin, my No. 1 favorite fiction writer of all time. I actually met Emily at a book signing in the summer of 2016 in Nashville—at Draper James, Reese Witherspoon's boutique—and Emily changed my life. At that time, I was freelance writing some, but hadn't yet taken the leap to become a full-time writer. During the book signing, I mentioned something about wanting to be a writer to Emily, and even though lines at book signings move pretty quickly, she took a moment to give me words of wisdom I never forgot—and signed my book and told me to not give up and to keep writing. The next year, 2017, I became a full-time writer, and am now a senior editor at a major fashion magazine as we speak here in 2024. It's really incredible what one inspiring encounter can do—and Emily, I loved you before meeting you in 2016, and I loved you even more after. Actually, I'll get to see Emily again in person this week, at a book signing in Atlanta for Emily's latest, The Summer Pact, her twelfth novel—which is the book we're talking about on the show today. The title of the book is so powerful, and not at all what I was expecting. Emily's latest is full of so many plot twists, and, while many of her books focus on love and romance, the crux of this book is friendship—although, don't get me wrong, there's still definitely some love and romance in here. As I tell Emily in our conversation, I think The Summer Pact is her bravest and most courageous work; she tackles some heavy-hitting topics here, topics she's never tackled before in any of her books prior. In this book we meet Lainey, Tyson, Summer, and Hannah, who all arrive at college from completely different worlds. They soon become a tight group of friends, but, as graduation nears, tragedy strikes, and they make a promise to one another in that moment to always be there for each other, no matter how much distance or circumstance separates them. Then, a decade later, life turns upside down for one of our characters. She calls in her closest friends, who are all in the midst of their own crossroads. But they made a promise, and they all come together to embark on a shared journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and acceptance, with, as I said, so many twists and turns along the way, including a trip to Capri, Italy, which has risen to the top of my travel bucket list. Just like I had a different career before I became a full-time writer, so did Emily—after graduating from Wake Forest and the University of Virginia School of Law, Emily was a practicing attorney for several years before moving to London to write full-time. Since then, 12 novels followed—Something Borrowed, which was turned into a feature film with Ginnifer Goodwin and Kate Hudson; Something Blue; Baby Proof; Love the One You're With; Heart of the Matter; Where We Belong; The One and Only; First Comes Love; All We Ever Wanted; The Lies That Bind; Meant to Be; and, now, The Summer Pact. I am such a fan, and I can't wait for you to hear our conversation.   The Summer Pact by Emily Giffin

Time for another great doubleheader this week in Episode 437! It all starts with a great conversation with Rich Davis from the gripping new horror title, The Cult of Dracula from Second Sight Publishing. The book is described this way: “The story re-imagines the classic Dracula myth within the confines of a Manson Family inspired cult. It’s witchy. It’s wyrd. It’s Helter Skelter within a hippie cult dedicated to an ancient blood goddess. You may know Bram Stoker’s genre defining classic by heart, but you have no idea where Cult of Dracula will take you! It explores vampire the mythologies of many different cultures from all around the world and throughout human history. The book is as much about pagan cults, the occult, and pagan culture as it is about vampires.” We discuss the series, how you can access it, and what we can expect in the months ahead! Then everything wraps up with the return of Tyler Chin-Tanner from A Wave Blue World! He has a Kickstarter happening right now to support Maybe Someday, a positive new anthology, so we talk about how this collection was created, who some of the talented people behind the stories are, and what Tyler has coming! Here’s how Maybe Someday is described: “MAYBE SOMEDAY: STORIES OF PROMISE, VISIONS OF HOPE is a full-color anthology featuring over 25 inspiring stories about a brighter future. It is also the sequel to the New York Times-featured and Ringo Award Nominated anthology, ALL WE EVER WANTED.” Be sure to support this terrific project after you listen to this episode!

Part of what makes life so exciting are the twists and turns. Things never seem to work out exactly how we plan. There are so many unforeseen challenges and rewards when we allow ourselves to be ourselves without judgement and discover life in the process. My conversation with Emily Giffin was illuminating. From the time Emily was in 1st grade, growing up in Chicago, she knew she wanted to be an author. However, that's not how her professional career started. Her journey includes practical decisions, crushing defeat, and never letting go of her life long dream. In 2001, Emily retired from the legal profession and moved to London to pursue her dreams where she wrote the first of her nine #1 New York Times bestsellers, Something Borrowed. Her other novels include: Something Blue, Baby Proof, Love the One You’re With, Heart of the Matter, Where We Belong, The One & Only, First Comes Love, and All We Ever Wanted. Join me on this episode as Emily shares about transitioning from the miserable life of corporate law to being one of the biggest selling women's fiction authors writing today and how she became who she was MADE To Be.
