Jennieke Cohen stops by with a delicious Earl Grey Glory to discuss her fabulous historical YA My Fine Fellow. This book is ALL sorts of things - a gender-swapped retelling of My Fair Lady, a Food TV meets historical fiction romance AND an alternate history YA. But at it's core it's a nuanced and fascinating look at bigotry and privilege. We have SO MUCH to talk about!
