Ella Berman, BEFORE WE WERE INNOCENT

Zibby interviews author Ella Berman about her second novel, Before We Were Innocent, a haunting and dazzling page-turner about three teenage best friends and the fateful summer trip to Greece that ends with one of them dying and the other two being blamed for it. Ella discusses a theme she loved exploring: the simultaneous power and vulnerability of youth and female friendships. She also talks about her life before publishing her books (it involves Sony Music and selling vintage clothes), the success of her mid-pandemic debut (The Comeback), the book she is working on now, and what she loves to do when she's not writing!Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: http://bit.ly/415uN18Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/43aj17wSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
