Episode Description

Zibby speaks with author Kate Doyle about I Meant It Once, a witty and sharp collection of stories about the inner lives of young women during their transformative twenties, navigating relationships, nostalgia for the past, and the uncertainty of the future. Kate talks about her writing process, her exciting book tour events (many are with past podcast guests like Jennifer Savran Kelly and Lynn Steger Strong!), and her life in Amsterdam. She also describes some of her favorite stories from the collection (they involve dogs and heart-shaped break-up scones).
