Hate you to love you by Joshua Hortinela

Om avsnittet

In this episode of Books, Baby!, Bev, Ian and Alo sit down with Australian author Joshua Hortinela to talk about his debut novel, Hate You to Love You — a funny, heartfelt love letter to rom-coms and all the messy feelings that come with falling in love.

We chat about Carlos Reyes, a hopeless romantic having a quarter-life crisis, the expectations we bring to love stories, and what happens when real life refuses to follow the rules of a rom-com. Joshua also talks about writing his first novel, the books and movies that inspired him, and what it feels like to finally see his story out in the world.

A conversation about romance, friendship, growing up, and why sometimes the happily-ever-after isn't quite what you expected.
