Gather your gal pals for a listening party as author Gabriella Saab joins the squad for a chat about some of our favorite female friendships in pop culture! From the Spice Girls to the ladies of SATC, we’ve got all our besties covered. After we share our heavily 90s-influenced picks, we talk with Gabriella about her new historical fiction novel “The Last Checkmate,” which is out now and has already garnered some VERY impressive reviews on Goodreads. We dive into Gabriella’s research process, the concept of “chess brain,” and the female friendships at the center of the book that inspired this entire othersode.
Read along for our next Bookpisode on Claire Fuller’s “Unsettled Ground,” coming November 9th, and then prepare for a very mysterious Emily-less Othersode on December 13th, topic TBD. Be sure to send any feedback to thesquad@booksquadgoals.com and we’ll read it on a future episode!
