Apr 23: Hayley Krischer with You Belong to Me
What if living your most authentic life leaves you dead?

Hayley Krischer joins us to dive into You Belong to Me — a dark, atmospheric, emotionally charged YA novel that’s captivated teens and adults alike.
We discuss the underbelly of the wellness industry, a multi-trillion dollar economy encompassing many false claims and scams.
We look at character development and motivation. And why Hayley’s favorite characters were inspired by followers of an infamous cult (think Charles Manson). The challenges of pace in plot. And some of the themes at the heart of You Belong to Me such as the need for belonging, and what it means to trust yourself.
