On this episode of Complicated Conversations we welcome Emma Noyes to discuss her adult debut, Guy's Girl, a fevered-dream of a read about true love, self-love, and growing up. Born from her own struggles with disordered eating and reeling from a breakup, Emma shares how she wrote the book she wished she could read during her own pain and recovery. We discuss her development of her protagonist Ginny and where the lines of fact and fiction blur; what it means to be a “guy's girl” and our relationship to femininity; why she wanted to explore an emotionally unavailable male character; manipulation disguised as love; writing her own happily ever after into existence; and how control and vulnerability don’t necessarily mix.  Guy's Girl is out now! Buy it, read it, share it, and listen to our spoiler-free chat wherever you get your podcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
