Episode Details

Zibby welcomes back Robinne Lee to discuss CRASH INTO ME, a stunning, emotionally layered novel about identity, desire, beauty, race, and motherhood. Robinne shares how she moved beyond the success of THE IDEA OF YOU to write a fearlessly intimate story inspired by her own experiences living in Los Angeles and Paris, reflecting on beauty standards, interracial marriage, aging, privilege, and the power of embracing every facet of womanhood.

Bestselling author Beatriz Williams returns to discuss WHEN YOU LOVED ME, a sweeping novel that intertwines a colonial-era pirate mystery, a second-chance love story, and the high-stakes world of professional football. She and Zibby talk about the real-life inspiration behind the novel's unforgettable opening, Beatriz's unexpected path from Stanford football manager to bestselling novelist, and the novel’s themes of family, violence, resilience, and redemption.
