Hi, I'm Sarah and this is Small Talk.

It's not quite a news headline, but it is what the girls are talking about.

And today I'm here with Dee Salmon.

Welcome.

Thank you so much.

I'm so excited to have you on.

For those who don't know Dee, I'm sure many people do, but you've been the host of The Hookup for years and you've just written a new book.

I power read it last night and throughout the last week and I love it so, so much.

I did think that when I was reading it, there's so much in it that I'm sort of just pulling out bits that like hit for me.

But I just think everyone has so much that they could take from this in different levels, in different ways.

But the first thing that really, really got me, like, again, not making someone cry again.

When you opened about talking about the love actually scene.

It really does.

And I'm actually going to read it because I wrote it down because I was like, I need to set the scene for everyone.

You said, if you were to ask me what my biggest fear was, I would probably tell you heights.

But if you were to ask me on a deeper level, I would tell you my actual biggest fear in life is ending up like that gut-wrenching scene in Love Actually where Karen realizes her longtime husband, Harry, has been having an affair.

And I was just like, the shiver that went down my spine as soon as I read that.

Because I think you're right.

It's so relatable to so many people.

Even Emma Thompson, when she was doing that scene, had something happening in her real life.
