“Just Kiss Already” with Lily Chu
5/14/202632 min
A forensic anthropologist who secretly writes cozy mysteries. An actress-turned-director who adapts his book into a film he hates. A media tour forcing them together. Just Kiss Already!
Author Lily Chu joins the show and explores the book’s dual-narrator structure (voiced by Simu Liu and Phillipa Soo) — and how satisfying it is to hear two very different people experiencing two very different sides of the same love story.

Last time, Wil Wheaton and I got into his deeply personal new narration of Stephen King's The Body, the story that was adapted to the film Stand by Me, which of course Wil also starred in. It was a beautiful and deep full-circle conversation, and I'm still thinking about it. This week, we're going in a different direction. We're keeping it light. We'll have some laughs, we'll have some romance, but we are absolutely going to talk about decomposing bodies. Today, we're talking about Lily Chu's Just Kiss Already, an Audible original romantic comedy that is one of the most fun listens I've had in a long time.
