Lauren Thoman • If you’re looking for your next binge-worthy read, look no further than Franklin resident Lauren Thoman’s new novel I’ll Stop the World. A timeslip mystery meets coming of age story, with a delightful dose of ‘80s nostalgia, I’ll Stop the World centers on two teens from two different times whose paths unexpectedly collide. The novel (available April 1) has already captured quite a bit of attention, including that of Mindy Kaling, and is the first debut to be released by Mindy’s Book Studio, Kaling’s eponymous imprint with Amazon Publishing. We chatted with Thoman about her inspiration, bringing this story to life, the coveted Kaling connection, and what it all means to her.
