Jessica shares how her own experiences informed her writing, reflects on the lasting impact of trauma (trigger warning: we discussed sexual assault), and dives into the novel's complex themes of power, desire, violence, and memory. She also talks about Hollywood, adapting her work for the screen, and the unforgettable ending that will leave readers desperate to discuss the final page. I literally had to DM her when it ended! </p>","author_name":"Zibby Owens"}
