Description

We’re talking about New York Times bestselling author Jasmine Guillory’s new novel, Drunk on Love! If you haven’t listened to our spoiler-free interview with Jasmine yet, check it out now. If you’ve read the book then listen to this because we still have so much to discuss!*After we gush about what a feel good novel this is, we discuss our complicated woman, Margot. (04:14)* We also can’t skip over her love interest, Luke, who has a traditionally feminine journey in this book. He’s lost, trying to find himself both personally and professionally and we’re totally here for it! (12:00)* We discuss our favorite scenes: their “meet cute”, the hot sex scenes as a character study, the fights and misunderstandings, and their moments of growth. (16:22)*What She Said: Jasmine Guillory. Kate talks about an article in which Jasmine discusses identity and Carinn shares Jasmine’s journey with yoga. (40:45)* Takeaways. We discuss the so-called “obstacles” to this romance flourishing — is it the age difference, their circumstances, or does it always just boil down to things within ourselves? What even are obstacles? Somehow Carinn brings in Sally Rooney! (51:17)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.”
