    This week we are joined by Sarah Adler! USA Today bestselling author Sarah Adler writes romantic comedies about lovable weirdos finding their happily ever afters, including Mrs. Nash’s Ashes, Happy Medium, and Finders Keepers.

She reflects on her path to self-acceptance, the importance of authenticity in writing, and how personal experiences shape her storytelling.
