In this interview, Balli and I discuss Now You See Us, how she decided to write this story, having her book selected as Marie Claire's March Book Club pick, tempering some of the stories she learned to keep the book from being too dark, how living a variety of places informs her writing, including a mystery element in the story, and much more.
Balli's recommended reads are:
- The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything by Kara Gnodde
- All This Could Be Different by Sarah Thankam Mathews
- The Vibrant Years by Sonali Dev
