Jake and Shoshanna are an unlikely couple, yet readers will cheer for them. Once Upon wasn’t based on any one store in particular, but to make it realistic, I used my own customer service experience from working other part-time jobs, researched online, and asked my good friend who worked at an indie many, many questions! I did technically work in one bookstore, but it was the textbook department of my college campus bookstore. It definitely is a love letter to bookstores! Some of my favorite memories as a child are picking through bookstore shelves, reading while tucked away in their corners, and asking my parents to please just buy me a few more books. Do you have experience working in a book store? If not, did you need to do a lot of research? Is ONCE UPON based on a real store? RECOMMENDED FOR YOU is a love story, but also feels like a love letter to book stores. I’m so happy to welcome Laura Silverman to chat about RECOMMENDED FOR YOU.
