We welcomed the talented author Lily Samson! Lily, an Oxford English graduate and publishing professional, splits her time between the bustling cities of London and Paris. When she's not working, you can find her indulging in Hitchcock movies or exploring her creative side as a freelance artist.
In this episode, we dove into her thrilling debut novel, The Switch. This psychological thriller, hailed as a Sunday Times Style Hot Read and one of Cosmopolitan's Best Books of 2024, promises to be a gripping and unputdownable experience.
