On today's episode, I get the chance to sit down with author Brieanna Wilkoff, whose debut novel is entitled "I'll Be There for You." It is a beautiful book that follows the journey of a young woman who is facing a significant loss in her life and is also trying to figure out how best to cope with that loss and feel a sense of belonging when she feels so disconnected. The story also incorporates a lot of 80's pop culture into it, including references to music, fashions, and more! I LOVED the book and it was so easy to talk with Brieanna about her inspiration for the book as well as to reminisce about our childhoods growing up in the 80s and 90s.
Thanks for tuning in!

Author
Brieanna Wilkoff (she/her) believes wholeheartedly in the power of kindness, the importance of theatre, and the awesomeness of ’80s rock. She married her husband onstage at the oldest surviving theatre in central Ohio, and their first dance was to Bon Jovi’s “Thank You for Loving Me.” Her favorite musical is a three-way tie between Les Mis, Wicked, and Hamilton.
I’ll Be There for You is Brieanna’s debut young adult novel. It was inspired by her family’s commitment to kindness, including performing 100 kind acts in a single day. Brieanna lives in Westerville, Ohio, with her husband, daughter, and dog.
