How do you handle an incessant talker?

I have a friend who has ADHD and one manifestation of this is that she is very talkative and interrupts a lot. Thin is, she doesn’t interrupt to talk about herself, she interrupts with more questions about whatever I am talking about.

For example: Me “My D got an internship and will start in…” She interrupts with “What?!! That’s great!!! Where is it? Is it the one she wanted?!!”

It’s actually kind of funny and it’s hard to fault someone who is genuinely interested in all the details of what I am talking about. But it can be exhausting!
