    Description

    On this episode of Complicated Conversations we welcome Shari Lapena, the #1 internationally bestselling author of seven suspense novels, to discuss her newest (and we think her best!), Everyone Here Is Lying. 
    We chat with Shari about the the initial inspiration for this story; the complicated mothers at the heart of this novel, as well that the larger cast of layered female characters; the ways secrets don’t stay secret for long when an investigation for a missing little girl in a small town gets underway; her writing process and the way her “fluid” relationship with her subconscious helps her creative process.  
    Everyone Is Lying Is Out now and it's a true page-turner! Buy it, read it, share it, and listen to our spoiler-free discussion with Shari wherever you get your podcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    In Pop Fiction Women we deep-dive into the complicated women of books, movies and TV shows, along with the women that bring them to life behind the scenes. Think Fleabag and Phoebe Waller Bridge, Normal People and Sally Rooney, and so much more. In each episode you can expect us to: * Break down the protagonist as we ask what makes her complicated? * Identify the best scenes, which can mean sweetest, funniest, or most badass. Anything we love. * Recount the cringiest scenes. The ones that make you squirm. Sometimes it’s self-sabotage, sometimes it’s growth, but it’s always part of the process of becoming our complicated selves. * Play arm-chair therapist in What’s Your Damage, Heather? An homage to the iconic line in Winona Rider’s Heathers, we discuss how these characters got to be the way they are. * “What She Said” - the segment where we scour every essay and interview with the women behind the scenes and share some of our favorite first person quotes. Real life is as interesting as fiction here. * Look into our crystal ball and ponder where these characters are six months later and five years later. Typically, Kate gets very real and Carinn gets buck wild. * Provide a takeaway, aka that part in the podcast where we try to sound deep. We leave you with some parting wisdom, challenge each other with thought-provoking questions inspired by the work, and urge you to “stay complicated.”
