    Midnight Ballerinas with Nic Stone
    Mar 2 2026
    Hey well read baddies! We’re back with another bonus episode, and this one is for the girls who are fans of Gone Girl and are impatiently waiting for season three of P-Valley to drop. We’re joined by New York Times bestselling author Nic Stone to talk about her latest release, Boom Town. We get into what it was like for Nic to step into adult fiction after writing dozens of YA books (many of which have been challenged and banned), why she wanted to expand the thriller genre to include characters we can actually relate to and root for, and the real-world conversations the book taps into, from missing persons cases involving Black women to power, privilege, and who society decides is “worthy” of concern. We also revisit the Dear Martin series and talk book bans, censorship, and what it feels like when your work becomes both celebrated and targeted. Tap in, then leave us a voice note with your reaction to the episode and your favorite moment :) Learn more about Nic and her work here and the next book on her tbr here We can’t wait to hear from you! :) Please send any questions or comments about this episode to shewellread@gmail.com OR leave us a Voice Note at https://www.speakpipe.com/shewellread‬ Follow SHE WELL READ!
