    Felicity is the friend id love to have, she seems so smart and fun and knows her way around books

    The “Yes I do…” coupled with the throwaway gesture in the first couple of minutes is something I’ve seen Emily do too lol. It’s cute to catch these similarities. The sisters are very articulate and poised.

    She’s fantastic, and I loved the nearly exclusive focus on her and her work, not her famous sister and husband...

      The fact she married a comparatively old man who's successful is part of the formula for exposure to the public.

    After receiving a book that's probably been edited by a freelance editor, she edits it (3 times!) before submitting it to publishers who will edit it. So many layers.

    Who is here after you’ve seen Mary Poppins returns, and heard felicity say stuff about Reading the cover of a book? Did you immediately think of “the cover is not the book”
