Happy Monday!
I know this podcast focuses on picture books and middle grade novels, but I could not say YES to a podcast interview fast enough when I saw that Jasmine Guillory recently published a young adult novel: IT’S ONLY DANCING. I absolutely adored her adult novel ROYAL HOLIDAY and knew I’d love this one, too. I was right. =)

E251: IT’S ONLY DANCING by Jasmine Guillory
On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Jasmine Guillory about her young adult debut: IT’S ONLY DANCING.
Her newest book addresses body image issues, socioeconomic status, perfectionism, coming of age, first loves and so much more. Plus, it’s loosely inspired by the hit movie Dirty Dancing, a movie I’ve loved for years.
Come listen as we talk about Jasmine’s prolific writing career and how she stays motivated, how it was to shift from writing adult novels to young adult literature and the way readers can enjoy the book and connect on a deeper level, too.
Here is the book featured in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
