Book Club Meets: Soulmates, swiping culture, and difficult decisions, with Holly Gramazio

Would you be a different version of you if you’d surrounded yourself with different people?

This is something the plot of The Husbands, the Happy Place Book Club pick for August, explores. In this chat with Fearne, live at the Happy Place Festival, author Holly Gramazio explains why she wanted to examine the idea that different relationships could significantly impact your lifestyle and personality.

She reckons there’s more than one way for you to be happy and for you to be yourself; there’s not necessarily a clear, correct choice about who you should date, what job you should have, or where you should live.

Fearne and Holly also give advice about how to start writing a novel if you feel you have one in you, including finding a friend who’s rubbish at lying to read your drafts...


Thank you to Penguin Audio for the use of The Husbands audiobook, read by Miranda Raison.
