Haley Jakobson, author of the astute and funny OLD ENOUGH

Happy Pride from Books Connect Us! In honor of Pride, today’s guest is Haley Jakobson, author of the astute and funny bisexual debut Old Enough, on sale June 20. Carolina chats with Haley about all things identity: finding ourselves while we’re still “hurtling towards the person we’re becoming,” utilizing language and harnessing stories to explore our many-faceted, intersectional selves, writing and using art and words to explore the stickier parts of reality.  You can find Haley at www.haleyjakobson.com Twitter, Instagram and TikTok: @haleyjakobson  BOOKS MENTIONED IN TODAY'S EPISODE:  Old Enough by Haley Jakobson: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/719001/old-enough-by-haley-jakobson/  Marlena by Julie Buntin Yolk, Permanent Record and Emergency Contact by Mary H.K.
