Young love is complicated, epic and can be life-defining.

In Chosen Family, Australian author of internationally bestselling Green Dot Madeleine Gray depicts a twisting coming-of-age tale of a bittersweet friendship and love story. New York Times–bestselling author Lily King writes about a long-ago spark that flickers to light and illuminates past decisions and deceptions in Heart the Lover.

Join Madeleine and Lily as they discuss their latest novels and how they carefully tune into the ebb and flow of love and desire. In conversation with Sarah Macdonald.
