Description

* After we discuss the staggering success of this book, we discuss Kya — her heartbreaking abandonment and utter resilience. Kate finds a unique way into Kya through astrology! (06:43).* We discuss our favorites scenes involving Kya and Tate that highlight her coming of age, falling in love, heartbreak, and forgiveness. (15:58)* We then turn to scenes involving Chase and the ways Kya’s relationship with him contrasts with Tate and acts as a balm to her loneliness. (41:16)*The ending - that ending! - gets its own segment. Were Kya’s actions justified? We have A LOT of thoughts! (50:10)* What’s Your Damage, Kya? There is certainly no shortage. (64:48)* What She Said - Delia Owens. We are in awe of Delia, how she wrote this bestseller and what biology and nature has to do with it. (67:15)* Who won the book? We share our picks and they involve women and human connection. (77:04)* For our takeaway we discuss the phenomenon that is this book and what’s the “special sauce”.

In Pop Fiction Women we deep-dive into the complicated women of books, movies and TV shows, along with the women that bring them to life behind the scenes. Think Fleabag and Phoebe Waller Bridge, Normal People and Sally Rooney, and so much more. In each episode you can expect us to: * Break down the protagonist as we ask what makes her complicated? * Identify the best scenes, which can mean sweetest, funniest, or most badass. Anything we love. * Recount the cringiest scenes. The ones that make you squirm. Sometimes it’s self-sabotage, sometimes it’s growth, but it’s always part of the process of becoming our complicated selves. * Play arm-chair therapist in What’s Your Damage, Heather? An homage to the iconic line in Winona Rider’s Heathers, we discuss how these characters got to be the way they are. * “What She Said” - the segment where we scour every essay and interview with the women behind the scenes and share some of our favorite first person quotes. Real life is as interesting as fiction here. * Look into our crystal ball and ponder where these characters are six months later and five years later. Typically, Kate gets very real and Carinn gets buck wild. * Provide a takeaway, aka that part in the podcast where we try to sound deep. We leave you with some parting wisdom, challenge each other with thought-provoking questions inspired by the work, and urge you to “stay complicated.”
