(side note: I miss my coven so much it’s painful.) They’re also an amalgam of all my girlfriends because sometimes we’re just a multi-headed hydra, especially when we’re making food together and catching up.
In a lot of ways, they’re the sisters I don’t have.
It was kind of taxing to hang out with June and Jayne for so long! They bicker so much and are constantly in some state of butthurtness with the other. What was it like for you to develop these characters and their dynamic? Do you have a sibling? Jayne and June's relationship is so layered and complex-it feels incredibly real. (It’s humiliating to be called out on your stuff when you’re undergoing a dazzling reinvention!) It’s also about a lot of the old stories you tell yourself about your family-who you are to them and who they are to you-that can go uninterrogated until you finally have that conversation, and everybody’s mind is blown. And how interesting it is that the people closest to you, the ones who have known you the longest, are sometimes the last people you want to turn to. It’s about how difficult it can be to ask for help when you’re trying to establish yourself as an adult. They’re flung together when June gets sick and has to use Jayne’s health insurance. So, Yolk is about two sisters-Jayne and June-who are living in New York and who don’t get along. Thank you so much! I’m so excited to share it with you. Gosh, where do we even start?
