She also talks about her life-long fear of getting close to people, which is why making and keeping friends has always been a challenge. Thankfully, she met Meredith, a woman 20 years her senior who finally taught her how to be a friend (and became the inspiration for this memoir). Finally, Christie talks about what it was like for her other book <em>Group </em>(a Reese’s Book Club pick!)<em> </em>to be such a tremendous success. </p><p><br></p><p>Purchase on Bookshop: <a href=\"https://bit.ly/3lQ6jde\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://bit.ly/3lQ6jde</a></p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter <a href=\"https://zibbyowens.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=8aaa1ce151a09216fdc1d6414&amp;id=4cf0ef4d3c\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.</p><p>Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch <a href=\"https://www.bonfire.com/store/zibby-owens/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Zibby Owens"}
