Zibby interviews author Angelica Baker about WHEN WE GROW UP, an electrifying novel about six longtime friends whose tropical vacation is interrupted by an unexpected crisis, forcing them to ask how strong their bonds really are. Angelica describes the false missile alert she experienced in Hawaii, a harrowing moment that sparked this book’s premise and shaped its themes of fear, self-discovery, and the messy dynamics of adult friendships. Angelica also reflects on how writing this book made her think profoundly about loyalty, regret, the passage of time, the weight of our decisions, and what it truly means to “grow up.”
