We sat down with Emma Brodie, the author behind Into the Blue, the book readers cannot stop talking about...including us.
Into the Blue is a decades-spanning love story about AJ Graves and Noah Drew. They're two people connected by a deep friendship, the world of acting, improv comedy, and sci-fi fandom, and a beautiful cosmic connection.
