Boozy grandmothers are truly the life of any holiday party. In today’s episode, Alison talks about what Christmas looks like in Portland, complete with brunch mimosas, fancy cocktails, and Voodoo donuts. She also shares how Bill Pullman was her inspiration for Jack, the butch lesbian, and how consent is really cool when it comes to romance novels. 

Kiss Her Once for Me tells the story of Ellie, a struggling artist working at a coffee shop in Portland. When the coffee shop’s landlord Andrew needs to marry someone in order to secure his recent inheritance, Ellie steps in. But Ellie finds out that Andrew’s sister Jack is the mysterious woman Ellie fell for on Christmas Eve last year. Time to cozy up with this delightful holiday tale as old as time: boy meets girl, girl meets boy’s sister.
