In this interview, I chat with Laura Wood about Let's Make a Scene, the challenges she faced while writing her first dual timeline and dual POV book, her favorite tropes, her fascination with how fame impacts a person in today's world, referencing her favorite rom-coms in this one, giving cameos to the character from Under Your Spell, the title drama, and much more.
Laura's recommended reads are:
- The Slowest Burn by Sarah Chamberlain
- Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood
