Lauren Gershell, THAT'S WHAT FRENEMIES ARE FOR

Lauren Gershell is the coauthor, along with Sophie Littlefield, of That's What Frenemies Are For: A Novel. It centers around a New York City woman who 'has it all' but feels her star fading and goes about trying to regain her social capital. This is Lauren's first book - she had an idea and reached out to a childhood friend who was a literary agent. Her friend liked the idea! Lauren said as a new author that she'd like to write it with somebody, and she got set up on what she calls a blind date that was "love at first sight." Her process is as delightful to hear about as her book is to read. We talked about spinning, friendship, motherhood in NYC and more!!
