Feminist Book Club: The Podcast Smart Summer Beach Reads
Beach read season is upon us! There are lots of definitions of beach reads out there but to us, a good beach read is something that is smart, sexy, funny, and full of heart. Tune in to hear Jordy and Mariquita discuss This Summer Will Be Different by Carley Fortune and then stick around for Renee’s review of The Husbands by Holly Gramazio.
This Summer Will Be Different discussion (0:23)
Jordy and Mariquita sit down to discuss Carley Fortune’s newest book, This Summer Will Be Different. This is a heavy-hitting romance novel that explores the love we receive from friendships, found family, and romantic partners. You’ll laugh, cry, swoon, and get into all your feels with this summer read.
Renee’s Review Corner: The Husbands (25:33)
Lauren comes home from a bachelorette party to find her husband waiting up for her. But she doesn’t have a husband. It turns out, she has a magic attic. If you like funny books that are smart but irreverent, listen to Renee’s review of The Husbands by Holly Gramazio.
