Jenny Han on giving 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' a hopeful ending and the importance of love stories

Jenny Han feels like the same person as her teenage self – which might explain why her books and their adaptations connect so strongly with teen audiences. Her "To All The Boys” and "The Summer I Turned Pretty" franchises are streaming juggernauts among teens and adults. Jenny spoke with Rachel about the importance of writing about love and why embarrassment feels so close to the surface. WHAT IS “WILD CARD?” Part-interview, part-existential game show – this is Wild Card from NPR. Host Rachel Martin rips up the typical interview script and invites guests to play a game about life's biggest questions. Rachel takes actors, artists and thinkers on a choose-your-own-adventure conversation that lets them open up about their fears, their joys and how they've built meaning from experience – all with the help of a very special deck of cards.
