![]() Is this something you’ve been talking about for a while? HG: Cool! So, how did you decide to write a book together? You’ve obviously known each other for a long time. So, I think that will be one of the fun parts about it. The good news is that both of us have really big personalities and neither of us are at all shy about voicing our opinion. I think the challenges are known by a lot of people that’s why not that many people do it. It’s gonna be really challenging to write a book with somebody else. HG: Are you excited to be co-writing? I know some writers love writing with other people and others kind of dread it in a way. So I think we have some really, really great ideas of what we’re gonna do and hopefully the format of it will come kind of quickly. And the truth is - and you probably know this as a writer - good ideas come really fast. I have inadvertently made the book sound very mysterious when the truth is we just haven’t come up with anything yet, but we will. I think we’ll talk a little bit more about the book. MK: We’re meeting this week just to hang out. Have you guys worked on it any more since then? ![]() ![]() HG: I know it was brought up at BookCon and it was so new you didn’t have anything to share. HG: Speaking of other books, you’re writing a book with BJ Novak. I’ve set a pattern for the rest of my books if I write any other books.” The second book was so easy to name and the first one was so hard and now that I’m on that, I’m like, “Okay great. Was that a conscious choice to make them questions or did it just happen that way? HG: I also think it’s neat that both of your book titles are questions. It’s not like a tell-all or like a kiss-and-tell or anything, but I’m much more open about times that I’ve felt hurt or embarrassed or felt foolish and in a way that I don’t think I was ready to talk about in the first book. And I think that in the book, I’m a lot more open about things. And now, now that I’m in my thirties, I think that I just I’m not as worried about people liking me and I really just want people to see me for who I am. In my first book, I think because I was in my twenties when I was writing it, I felt like it was so important for people to like me. ![]() It’s hard because I want to share stories with people because I want to be open. I’m so excited about it and I’m so impatient because it’s still a couple more months. MK: Well, thank you, first of all, for asking me about it. Like, I’d never had one before and she was just having a snack, her first meal after two days of delivering babies, and that’s such a happy Core Memory for me. No one else was there, and it was that age when you’re just obsessed with having your mom to yourself, and I sat on her lap and she shared a jelly doughnut with me that she had picked up from a Dunkin’ Donuts and I remember this memory so vividly. And I remember when I was probably two or three years old, she came back from like two days of being out on call, and she came back and she sat down in the kitchen and I was there. And so, whenever I could see her I just loved that time and she was a very kind of dashing, glamorous figure in my life. MK: Sure and I just was gonna say that even the idea of Core Memories to me before I saw the movie, I think we’ve all sort of had the notion of that and I thought what was so brilliant about the movie was that it really put a name on it, because I didn’t have a name for that idea and now I do forever, which is so nice.īut a Core Memory that I always remember is my mom, who was an OBGYN, like my character on my show, was super busy when I was a kid.
