| 4/13/26 | ![]() A Psychic Reading Inspired Rebecca Serle's Bestselling Novel | Booked & Busy | Rebecca Serle is officially Booked & Busy 📖🌊Okay so I need to set the scene. I started reading 'In Five Years' on a 6-hour bus ride to the Kelly Slater Surf Ranch surrounded by surfers who absolutely did not care about the emotional spiral I was having. I finished it on the way back... was not okay. Stared at the wall for a minimum of 30 minutes after the last page and had so many questions. A few weeks later I somehow ended up sitting across from the author herself, and that's why I love this podcast!!We get into EVERYTHING. The full breakdown of In Five Years (spoilers included so be sure to pay attention to the timestamps), the psychic prophecy that actually inspired the entire book and turned out to be true, why Rebecca wrote that ending, and a peek into her brand new book 'Once and Again.' We also talk about motherhood, growing apart from friends, why happy marriages don't make interesting novels, and sooo much more!!!Grab a drink and snack and let's get into it 🎀xoxo,Olivia❤︎ Join The Conversation→ Patreon (it's free!): https://www.patreon.com/cw/OliviaPonton→ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/olivia.ponton→ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamoliviaponton→ Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/olivia_ponton12 | — | ||||||

We talk everything from the story behind how this book came to life starting with a college short story class and a bunch of old journals, growing apart from friends, writing through her first real heartbreak and how that changed the story, the 'spicy' scene her dad had to read out loud to her (i could actually never), what's coming next from her and SO so so so much more!Grab your beverage of the day (ours was a blue smoothie to match the cover) and let's get Booked & Busy ;) xoxo,Olivia✎ This Episode Is For You If You Like...→ Genres: contemporary romance, emotional contemporary fiction→ Tropes / Vibes: author interviews, debut novels, emotional devastation and heartbreaking love stories, friends to lovers, flashbacks, non-linear storytelling❤︎ Join The Conversation→ Patreon (it's free!): https://www.patreon.com/cw/OliviaPonton→ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/olivia.ponton→ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamoliviaponton→ Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/olivia_ponton12 | — | ||||||
