The Not Wives
Carley MooreHugh RyanI am SO excited to be chatting with Carley Moore. I first read her work in THE NOT-WIVES, which, like PANPOCALYPSE, transformed a very real, very now NYC into an incredible novel. I love the way NYC exists in her books: so real, so specific. This should be a great pairing! https://twitter.com/ptknitwear/status/1542556780789731328
