Meet Abigail Hing Wen: a powerhouse woman who's worked in DC, Silicon Valley, and now Hollywood. She's out with her sequel to Loveboat, Taipei: Loveboat Reunion. Loveboat Reunion takes readers back to Taipei through the eyes of Sophie and Xavier, on an unforgettable journey of glittering revelry and self-discovery that’s perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Mary H. K. Choi. The story merges Abigail's interests in culture, leadership and artificial intelligence through the eyes of a girl in tech.
Join us for this interview as we chat with Abigail about how her own experiences in tech informed Sophie's worldview in the novel, and the advice she gives folks who are wanting to be unconventional with how they pursue their passions and interests.
Check out Loveboat Reunion, available at your local bookstore!
