Carla shares with us how her love of storytelling started with writing plays in elementary school, how an unusual vacation birthed the idea for her book, the similarities between querying and pitching venture capitalists, the vibes that inspired The Rally's cover art, her hopes for a screen adaptation, what it's really like being on a book tour, and the unlikely place she's finding connection with readers. Carla also shares a list of the top books she has read so far this year. For the full list of titles we mentioned this episode, please join us on Instagram @plansarebooked.
