Hidden and Not-So-Hidden Fun in Simply the Best

Karin Kallmaker 08/15/2021 Book News, Simply the Best 6 Comments

I sponge up quips and quotes from movies and then they come back out at odd times. Here’s some nods and quips that made it into Simply the Best. I can’t help myself!

Crazy Rich Asians – a RomCom that Takes Love Seriously

Karin Kallmaker 09/07/2018 Cheers & Chocolate, Craft of Writing 2 Comments

You can poke fun at the couple’s foibles, and you can put them in awkward situations, but you can’t make light of love itself. Crazy Rich Asians takes love seriously – that’s why it worked for me.

Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia – Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren? Sure!
    It's unusual for Karin to have an actor in mind to play one of her characters. An exception is Marissa's mother in Finders Keepers. The "step up on the table in the country club dining room to make an announcement" personality - it's so Meryl Streep. If she were unavailable then Helen Mirren would do it justice as well.

Featured Published Things
