In this interview, Nora and I discuss Competitive Grieving, her own experience with competitive grieving, how writing the book was cathartic, the format for the book, how the beauty of writing a novel is being able to create an entirely fictional world, the universal experience of what happens in the aftermath of death, and much more.
Nora's recommended reads are:
- Candy House by Jennifer Egan
- Heartbreaker by Sarah MacLean
- Book Lovers by Emily Henry
- The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave
