Andrea Uptmor and The New People

A serious contender for my favorite book of 2026!

Andrea Uptmor joins us to talk about main character discontent, MLS research, Minneapolis restaurants, and her real estate novel The New People.

“Happy people are wonderful in real life but they don’t really do much in novels. They don’t move the plot along.” —Andrea Uptmor

The New People by Andrea Uptmor (Little, Brown and Company, 2026)
