Today’s episode of Hope Prose is for those that love romantic comedies, K-pop, K-drama, or maybe even none of those things and just want something fun to listen to on a long commute. No matter where you fall into those categories, Lily Chu is sure to have you laughing and running out to buy her latest book “The Comeback”.
Her debut novel “The Stand-In”, released through Audible, is performed by Phillipa Soo and spent multiple weeks at number one in Audible Top Plus Listens. In print, “The Stand-In” was named Target’s Book Club Pick for May, an Amazon Book of the Month, and Apple Best Books of May.
Her most recent novel “The Comeback” is available in print and as an Audible Original, also narrated by Phillipa Soo, and was named one of Audible’s Best of 2023.
Listen as they have a fun-filled discussion about all things The Comeback, her jump from steampunk romance to rom-com, how BTS and K-pop have helped her both creatively and emotionally, what it was like finding out THE Philipa Soo was going to narrate her novels, and her tricks to writing the most delicious slow-burn.
Enjoy!
