Ep 28: Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win Book Club.
This episode we're discussing our adult book of the month, Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win, by Jo Piazza! We LOVED this book. It's simultaneously such an important book (it's the first fiction book about a woman running for office), but it's also a light, easy read. This book sparked some important conversation (We were nervous to talk about politics here!) Join us next week for advice, and in two weeks for our YA Pick... Children of Bone and Blood!

Ep 26: Save the Date Book Club + All the Nostalgic feels.
This episode we're discussing our YA book of the month, Save the Date by Morgan Matson. This is the cute story of a big family, + a wedding where anything and everything can go wrong. Spoiler alert (though you probably already guessed it) Becca loved it, Grace was just meh. This episode made us nostalgic! It gave Becca big family envy and made Grace think about the nice boys she dated in high school. Oh, to be young! Join us next week for advice, and in two weeks for our "adult" pick: Charlotte Walsh Likes To Win - we both really loved this book and can't wait to chat about it. Can't get enough Bad On Paper?
