Penguin BooksWatch @emmastrenner, author of MY OTHER HEART, talk about the absolutely heart-wrenching opening scene of her novel (if you know, you KNOW!). ✈️👀 "A mesmerizing novel filled with different types of love and secrets from the past" (@jeankwokauthor), MY OTHER HEART follows best friends Kit and Sabrina, both on separate journeys to learn about their true identities, and Mimi, a mother who's daughter disappeared in Philadelphia airport seventeen years earlier. @jinwoochong raves, "I’ve never read anything quite like Emma Nanami Strenner’s My Other Heart:gorgeous, devastating, equally joyous and heartbreaking... Reaching the end of Sabrina, Kit, and Mimi’s story was like taking in a gasp of air after spending a minute underwater.” What was your reaction to the opening scene? Let us know in the comments 👇
