What do Real Housewives, rage rooms, and Colleen Hoover have in common? Actress and executive producer Allison Williams, of course. In this live episode of Bookmarked, Allison joins host Danielle Robay to talk about adapting Regretting You for the big screen, from messy mother-daughter drama and car-smashing scenes to primal screams and postpartum feelings.
