Reina asked Emily Gould:

Have you ever visited Madison, WI ? That's where I'm from (and where I am right now!) and I just read the little blurb in the NY Times book review that says one of the main characters follows a cad to Madison, WI. So I was just curious why Madison, WI.

Emily Gould Excellent question. I let my friend who some aspects of this character are loosely based on make that decision for me; in an earlier draft of the book it was St. Louis. She's been to Madison and provided all the details about it, though IRL she followed a cad much further afield. I'm not going to lie to you, it was pretty random. I've never been to Madison. I'm sure I would like it. I'm sorry if I got it completely wrong!

Sometimes I think about how Will Leitch refused to eat the vegan hot dog on Cooking the Books and I get so angry. Is it OK for me to still be this angry or should I try to move past it?

Will Friendship become an Audible book? I've gotten so addicted to listening to books that I've pretty much forgotten how to read. If not, though, will order on paper or kindle and make do.

Christine asked Emily Gould:

Hi Emily, I've just returned from Maryland, I loved it and like you, I love yoga, cats, dogs, horses, food and travel. So where in your opinion lies the future of the publishing industry and how can I get a top lit. agent? Best wishes, Christine E. Mackenzie
