No spoilers for One Golden Summer in this episode!
What does the lake and Max Medina have to do with today's episode? They both are a source of inspiration for today's guest, Carley Fortune, author of Reading Is Sexy's May book club pick-- One Golden Summer. THE book of the summer in my opinion. A nostalgic, joyful, reflective and dazzling romance set during a perfect summer on the lake.
Carley Fortune is a journalist turned romance author, so of course as a huge fan of Gilmore girls, she wanted to weigh in on what she thinks of Rory Gilmore as a journalist. Plus she talks about that career transition, her hot takes on Gilmore girls, and how she discovered Alice as the perfect love interest for the much beloved favorite brother from her first novel, Every Summer After.
In May, Reading Is Sexy is reading One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune and Where You Read, I Will Follow is continuing Be Ready When The Luck Happens by Ina Garten!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
