Description
We’re kicking off May with a super fun throwback book convo! We all chose books that we read more than one year ago, and tried to do the barest plot refresher before talking about them. We kept the books a surprise (kind of) from each other, so tune in for a very fun episode. And before we even get into that, we’re workshopping some dating app bios for each other. Not to brag, but we are really good at it. Plus! Becky makes a very special May fan club book club announcement. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
