Jo Piazza and Christine Pride, co-authors of We Are Not Like Them, join Zibby to talk about their book, their relationship, and what is next for each of them. Jo and Christine share that although many people are focusing on the role race plays in their novel, they wanted to make sure their story addressed a number of the hot-button issues that affect modern friendships. The pair also tell Zibby about how they blurred the lines between writer and editor to become a duo so compatible that they only ever plan to collaborate with one another.

Jo: I don't think that book clubs are going anywhere. Hopefully books aren’t going anywhere because I have no other skills. I am seeing an uptick in the podcast club. I kind of love it. An episode of a podcast, they make you think the same way that books do. They're a little bit more assessible, especially for busy moms, than sitting down and reading an entire book. I'm all for it, especially if people wanted to listen to “Committed” and then go talk about it.
