The Bright Side: A Hello Sunshine Podcast21 Jul

From Page to Screen: Inside "Lucky" Live with Author Marissa Stapley

This week, we’re bringing you inside our recent live recording in NYC, hosted by Apple Books and Reese’s Book Club.

Fresh off a city Story Walk listening to Lucky on Apple Books, host Danielle sits down with bestselling author Marissa Stapley for a conversation about her beloved Reese’s Book Club thriller and its journey to the screen as a limited series on Apple TV, adapted with Hello Sunshine. They dive into the inspiration behind the riveting con woman at the center, why high-stakes heist stories never fail to hook us, and what it takes to write a morally gray antihero you can't help but root for. Plus, Marissa reveals who she'd cast to narrate her memoir (hint: she has over 20 Oscar nominations!).

Put your headphones on, take yourself on your own Story Walk, and tune in.
