STORY: ‘Glee’s’ Lea Michele to Write Her First Book He’s brand-new, and it was fun to write.” She would’ve never gotten to know that he is a good guy, and he has the potential to be a good husband, despite all of those things. “I think all of that initially would’ve been a huge turnoff. “He’s tall, dark and handsome, he’s from a super wealthy family, he’s socially connected, and he kind of has the reputation of being a little player,” Weisberger explains. To complement the familiar faces, the sequel also introduces a love interest for Andy: Max Harrison, someone who would’ve been quickly dismissed by a younger version of Andy.

She drew from her personal and professional growth to shape the updated Andy. Weisberger says the two have become “partners in crime, for better or for worse,” in covering celebrity nuptials and combating their common enemy in the book.
