Transcript
- 0:00Hi friends. You're listening to lose the pot
- 0:02with color and Emily. Welcome to part 2 of reading the
- 0:05Silver Swan by Mo Jones. We are covering chapters 21 to
- 0:0930 in this episode. So warning there will be
- 0:12spoilers Before we begin talking about
- 0:29this book, Please be aware that the story brings up topics
- 0:32related to sexual assault and rape and we will be discussing
- 0:35this. I'm Carla, I love animals more
- 0:40than I love people. I mean, my family have only ever
- 0:43hunted deer unless it was duck shooting, I'm Emily, there are
- 0:48humans and there are wolves and then there is me a fucking God.
- 0:54Okay, where did we leave off in part 1?
- 0:58No way. Yeah, it was kind of like the
- 1:03dad getting up them about the party, but not.
- 1:07Yeah, the the camping, sorry. Oh yeah.
- 1:10Yeah. D for the camp.
- 1:11Okay. Yeah, that's where we were.
- 1:13I'm refreshed now, I'm there love that.
- 1:17I didn't speed read it before and just forget again.
- 1:22For anyone reading at home, this is chapter 21 on Words, twice of
- 1:26the end of this book and the reason why we have to stop it at
- 1:2821 which seem so awkward. Why are you doing nine?
- 1:31Chapters is because the pacing was really off.
- 1:35It's so off. We just went by page number to
- 1:39split it half way so that at least the content would be
- 1:42similar. That's why we're doing 21:30 to
- 1:45be fair. I should add.
- 1:46Also I think we're going to drag a bit on maybe her writing.
- 1:49Well, I definitely will but it's not Because she's bad writer.
- 1:53It's just her writing. Preference is not for me, but I
- 1:57officer preference. Is it a preference?
- 2:05No, it's preference for other people.
- 2:08It's just not preference for me. Okay, that's fine.
- 2:11Even though I picked it, it's okay.
- 2:15I won't hold a grudge against you picking this book forever.
- 2:18No big deal. Okay, so they were getting ready
- 2:23for camping but I wasn't really clear.
- 2:25What the camping plan was like, what the camping is for
- 2:27speakers? Were they going with that guy?
- 2:29Friend of hers? So they were going out for
- 2:31Halloween with Carter. And that's the camping trip.
- 2:35That's what I thought it was. But then why did all the boys
- 2:38have to come? I do.
- 2:39Yeah, that's what I thought. She was weird about her not
- 2:42being able to go but then she invited them all.
- 2:44So I don't know who she didn't. She invite Nate essentially like
- 2:48the ringleader is no, it's not even Nate.
- 2:50It's Bishop. But yeah, well, I thought the
- 2:54whole point was to go with Carter to make bishop jealous
- 2:57that was initially the point. Yeah, the writing style bugs me
- 3:01because it literally is not consistent.
- 3:03This is the consistency of something, and then Madison
- 3:07acts, completely different and then we go, huh?
- 3:09Yeah. But this, she'll be like
- 3:11thinking I had, I don't want them to go and they shall invite
- 3:13them all. And it does not make sense,
- 3:15makes sense for ask the reader. That's just scrambling to figure
- 3:17out. Does she like them or not?
- 3:19Then she does for the Of that trip.
- 3:22She's not going out for Halloween camping in the middle
- 3:26of nowhere. That's 45 minutes out of town.
- 3:30It's going to be in the dark. They're just going out there to
- 3:32drink and whatever can we start there?
- 3:34Because you're going in the middle of the woods, for a drink
- 3:38up, for a piss-up, essentially, with your other teenage friends,
- 3:40right. Why the fuck you driving your
- 3:42dad's Aston Martin middle of the would like, why are you doing a
- 3:48lot of things? Why is it really getting in at
- 3:51the gym? And before you drive out, 45
- 3:53minutes is not really well. Then like, do you know me?
- 3:56Why are you going alone? That's what I mean.
- 3:58Just go with everyone and skip the gym fucking take pictures of
- 4:02the book. You're trying to read if you
- 4:04don't want people to know, she's got to get in that book time in
- 4:08that gym. Time than good swim.
- 4:12I'm not even a scary that is, it's very reminiscent of her
- 4:16going in the middle of the night to try and help Nate on her own
- 4:19in the car. Again, I just panicky in the
- 4:22middle of nowhere. It's like it.
- 4:25She only has two brain cells and they just fight and she can't
- 4:30really put together how she feels about anything or what she
- 4:34wanted together. She's a dumb bitch.
- 4:36Should what kind of star sign is medicine at this point.
- 4:38Like, just on sign, let's not get dramatic.
- 4:42Like what is T, which is the most I'm sorry inconsistent.
- 4:48She doesn't even know she's scrambling.
- 4:50She doesn't even know when she's probably born.
- 4:52He's like scrambled eggs. So she goes alone even though
- 4:58she doesn't technically know what campsite it is either, she
- 5:01doesn't know where it is, and she doesn't seem like, she knows
- 5:03how to use Google Maps, she knows how to use a compass.
- 5:07She's like standing out in the middle of nowhere.
- 5:09All the full moon, the Southern Cross.
- 5:12This is, I mean, I'm out here in the wilderness, just pitch black
- 5:17sheep shit. What if she had Captain Jack,
- 5:22Sparrow's magical Kono? Then at least she might be able
- 5:25to find should be running. To that rum.
- 5:27She was essentially, I suppose so the boys jump her again.
- 5:31Yeah, for the were eighth time this point.
- 5:34Oh my God. Is she even surprised anymore
- 5:37turnover by. She's like, who's there?
- 5:39It's like, who else? No one else gets a shit about
- 5:42you? Girl, he died.
- 5:44Doesn't your dad's not in the picture.
- 5:47He's not even home. Stepmom barely knows you exist.
- 5:51She just gets jumped again and then they start harassing her
- 5:55questioning her, and they will sort of physically holding her
- 5:59down and shit. Again again, I couldn't believe
- 6:02that they were kind of jumping her and they'll basically
- 6:06expecting her to have military-grade secrets the way
- 6:09that those really her dry humping her at the same time.
- 6:17So just dry-hump the answers out of it.
- 6:19I just her but then they They they consistently act like she
- 6:23knows everything but then says she knows nothing as if they're
- 6:26fully convinced that she knows nothing.
- 6:27Which one is it? It's, it's giving nothing.
- 6:31It's giving nothing. See, I know the answers for
- 6:34that, but we're going to talk about it all of the end.
- 6:36But it's kind of like at this point of the book, you're
- 6:40interrogating her, but then also calling her a dumb bitch for
- 6:43knowing nothing but also she knows too much.
- 6:45I know they honestly really think she knows their whole
- 6:50life. Why would she do at this point
- 6:52in the book? Why would she?
- 6:54She's just a girl. She's just I'm just covering the
- 6:58world stop. I love how like anytime they
- 7:03think she knows something to she'll have a Little Giggle and
- 7:06should be like oh you just do underground racing and they're
- 7:08like, haha, yeah, that's what we do, it's not what they do, but
- 7:15but then they're like they still old man.
- 7:20Dude, dude. I'm sorry, but I do it again.
- 7:31I think in the end book and they're like, interrogating her
- 7:34again, and she knows nothing in there, like cool far out, then
- 7:38this so surprised that she knows nothing.
- 7:42So anyway, the dry humping is a good knees and her back in her
- 7:45spine. Yeah, she doesn't even know
- 7:47who's helping her anymore. I don't even I didn't even think
- 7:50I knew hahaha. So, basically, Bishop is
- 7:55revealing himself to be the stalker that's been harassing
- 7:57her on the phone. Yeah.
- 7:59Scary movie star. Okay.
- 8:00Like I don't understand his harassment because the riddles
- 8:03don't make sense. No, and so Madison is acting
- 8:07completely unfazed, even though she was acting before hand, I
- 8:11really need to know who's doing these prank calls on me.
- 8:14It's trying to threaten me. And then when it's revealed that
- 8:17it was Bishop, she's like schmear.
- 8:18It's my he's like, uh, yeah, it's about time.
- 8:22My boyfriend. Finally, he's interested in me
- 8:26he could be bothered to have a fake phone number or private.
- 8:29Number be calling her all times of the day Thro.
- 8:31Yeah yeah. She's like sure.
- 8:32Me, sure. He's made time for me.
- 8:36I'll special good. Oh my god.
- 8:39In Spanish so Spanish, I'm not like other girls but remember,
- 8:44he's not here. This ship is picky and that's
- 8:49why it's you guys not a whole lot.
- 8:52He's not. It's even better if you get
- 8:58Cherry Picked by him because he's not like other boys.
- 9:02It's not like other boys and she felt like other going on.
- 9:09Okay, so what's even the fucking point of having a gun?
- 9:11If someone snatches it with him, put five of the same?
- 9:13I mean, I thought she was supposed to be like a gun,
- 9:16sealing up the Gun Slinger. Actually I want to point out
- 9:19something that really annoyed me.
- 9:20And this entire bit the very American was as she's like It's
- 9:25not guns that kill people. It's people with gun.
- 9:28The people killing people that, hang on.
- 9:32Let me find it. It's so stupid.
- 9:39It's not people, it's guns its guns.
- 9:41It's not because people it was something.
- 9:44Oh my God, guns don't kill people, people kill people guns,
- 9:47are there to protect people who need to be protected from people
- 9:50who kill people. Also, it's actually, if you have
- 9:53a garden, you intend to kill someone with it.
- 9:54You're not allowed to because truce, but you can only using
- 9:57done against a person. If they were already trying to
- 9:59kill you first. Yeah, problem solve it probably
- 10:02was a gun. Yes, exactly.
- 10:04America. That's my Looks like that's
- 10:07basically the logic. So you get zip-tied within 5
- 10:11Seconds. Anyway, she's so slow.
- 10:14Why bring it? I thought she was going to the
- 10:16gym. It's just going to get my
- 10:17slogan. Stir the gun.
- 10:19Oh yeah. No point bringing it.
- 10:21I would have shot them all my Firefly.
- 10:23It would Wane in. I was shot everyone.
- 10:25So yeah, so you bitch. Well, she doesn't really make
- 10:28action though. She just is all talk.
- 10:30I mean, And the whole like my daddy says, if you don't have
- 10:43the balls to shoot someone and she's like, I got big balls
- 10:46right now, good for you, you don't, she would have less
- 10:50people to aim out if she just hit them with her car.
- 10:52The first time exactly what she's got.
- 10:54The Aston so she doesn't make any dents, right?
- 10:56I didn't I wonder if like that was then getting rid of her the
- 11:03bigger car. We'll probably because wasn't it
- 11:06as Shifty reason. Why she was even using that car
- 11:08in the first place? The fuel pump was broken, my dad
- 11:12doesn't care. Do they have like 11 cars?
- 11:14Anyway, they're going to love and car garages.
- 11:17So why do you have to bring the most this stupidest car to go in
- 11:21the middle of the woods? Imagine it's like, I know, it's
- 11:24not like the car in Harry Potter but it's just like Club over and
- 11:27over. Oh yeah.
- 11:32Those toys are not made for that.
- 11:33They're not made for our food. Exactly.
- 11:37Literally, that's how I imagined her driving through the
- 11:39Forbidden Forest like the punk, punk.
- 11:43Yes. Oh my God.
- 11:45So it's giving when Riverdale had the fake cult gang thing,
- 11:51God, and all of the forest, whatever the fuck.
- 11:54Oh no, it's giving that. Oh my god, do you think?
- 11:57Yeah, it's giving. Yeah but it's not it's not
- 12:00because he's always giving is dry-humping just dry humping.
- 12:03It's such a fear tactic Rah dude I'd be scared.
- 12:12If it was me now, be like, oh no, then they like one non
- 12:24stupid of the seven. So many, there's so many just
- 12:31too many. It's like, maybe she's telling
- 12:33the truth and it's like, she's got rocks in those.
- 12:38But do they even really care what she's saying?
- 12:40But I don't really seem to care. No, it's all about the body.
- 12:44The body Audiology. Can I just complain about
- 12:47something for a moment that I feel like I didn't cover
- 12:49properly in part one. Yeah, go for it.
- 12:51He was just the huge insult Vibes that they all keep forcing
- 12:54the kitten nickname. Oh my God picked it up.
- 12:58Yeah, it's giving huge insulin for Dora Vibes and then she
- 13:02refers to herself as kitten. I'm like don't try and make it a
- 13:05thing, Kitty's, not a thing since When did Nate have wolf
- 13:09colored eyes? Like a, we going a Twilight
- 13:11Direction? Where is this going?
- 13:13Actually, it kind of gives that Vibe sometimes.
- 13:16But what like, Nate, he seems like the whitest guy ever.
- 13:19You're imagining blue, right? Yeah.
- 13:21Not wolf-like blue sir. Free kind of.
- 13:24Yeah. You know what I mean?
- 13:26He's like, what you would imagine a crumpet to look like
- 13:29if they were person giving beige, Pump it.
- 13:37I didn't even I must escape that.
- 13:39Oh, it was just in there a probably traumatize me.
- 13:42It's probably what I'm not gonna lie.
- 13:44I want to know how many variations of I don't know what
- 13:47the fuck you mean. Madison has to say to them to
- 13:50get them off her case because she said that many times I know
- 13:53I don't know what you mean. What the fuck?
- 13:55You mean like that and then one will be like oh maybe she
- 13:59doesn't know maybe she doesn't know what our mood and they're
- 14:04like, no. She knows everything.
- 14:06She's practically the CEO. At this point.
- 14:11Can we stop with the bad dream? Yeah, I guess this was my
- 14:14witness on the stand and be like bedroom objection.
- 14:19Badgering the witness. No cash, literally tries to get
- 14:25Nate and Bishop to think maybe she doesn't know anything, but
- 14:28he doesn't actually intervene and that's enough for Madison to
- 14:32like him a little bit more. That's, that's something that
- 14:35that's what I was talking about that sad because medicai Shine
- 14:38cash. He's a good guy, but he doesn't
- 14:40even need to be. He's so good one.
- 14:42He's just watching them continue.
- 14:44Yeah, and he's like, maybe she doesn't, I think he see older
- 14:47generation, so he's not technically their generation.
- 14:50Oh what's he even doing, huh? You know, this is doing with
- 14:54these kids. Trying to catch a case out here
- 14:57is cash I might be wrong. Oh well they're all the same.
- 15:01They're all the same. No faceless nobodies there's no
- 15:03character development apart from Nate and Bishop it's really
- 15:06centered around. Nate Bishop Maddie and then
- 15:09kadem yeah, he didn't a tan like she gets a bit screwed over in
- 15:15her character because she started off pretty strong and
- 15:17then she just disappeared off the face of the Earth.
- 15:19Yeah, because Nate didn't want her anymore.
- 15:21She was just Ariel to the story. Yeah, pretty much.
- 15:24And it was kind of like, what was the point of that?
- 15:26I think it was the point of that was so that the author could
- 15:30almost make fun of her for becoming a slot for having sex
- 15:33while the scales of worse. Like it literally gets worse.
- 15:36Yeah. Yeah.
- 15:37I know. So they start sort of talking.
- 15:40I think it's between Nate and Bishop.
- 15:41They were talking about like whatever the BET was or
- 15:44something. Yeah I bet it just literally was
- 15:47whoever bangs her first wins. I just yeah, like how much more
- 15:50simpler could it be. It's exactly.
- 15:52The plotline of my every teenager.
- 15:54I'm like our route is it though? Because you got Nate, they say
- 15:56that shit and then you've got Nate saying something straight
- 15:59after. Like if you make her cry I'm
- 16:01gonna put in a swing and it's like you can't have it both
- 16:04ways. So you can't like try sleep with
- 16:07her for a bed and then pretend you give a shit pretend you're
- 16:10give a shit. Well, it was objectifying her in
- 16:12front of her and everyone else around.
- 16:15Yeah. And she fails to identify that
- 16:17as being a bad thing. I just don't think she knows.
- 16:20Like, I just don't think she's aware.
- 16:22Yeah I mean we're character is written sorry.
- 16:25Did see. Mmm but then so smart in other
- 16:28ways and they sort of stop interrogating, her.
- 16:31I assume they take the zip ties off again.
- 16:33It's low-key, fine that she was kidnapped, assaulted and
- 16:36sexually, and then she just walks.
- 16:38Yeah, she's like cool time to party.
- 16:40Whereas I would have gotten car and went home and then pack my
- 16:42shit and probably moved, I probably would have grabbed a
- 16:45friend and said, let's get the fuck out of here.
- 16:47We're driving home. Yeah, but instead she does the
- 16:50exact opposite and she has As sex immediately with Bishop.
- 16:54What the hell was that about? You can't be like, stand your
- 16:57ground. She literally said, you'll never
- 16:59touch me again. Never let him touch you again.
- 17:02When did she even say that? Was it recently?
- 17:04It was when she was tied to the tree, you gotta hold your
- 17:09ground. Girl, would you gotta she lost
- 17:11it a second? Make him wait.
- 17:13Oh, I'm such a petty person. If anyone did that shit to me, I
- 17:16would never see them again. If they did have a shit, but if
- 17:19I told someone you're never touching me again, I think that
- 17:21to the Grave Clearly there's like a billion people in the
- 17:24world that can talk to you instead of like I mean, doesn't
- 17:27have to be this he's short he's got a whole crew.
- 17:29They're all the same anyway. They probably look all the same
- 17:32and so I okay so I had to just highlight this morning is it was
- 17:35too much? Sorry, I'm not so bad you're my
- 17:41Nemesis who I always get panty lists.
- 17:44Oh my God I actually creating changed basically.
- 17:49Why do I think I had to put it down that would Give me the egg,
- 17:53this man would give me the egg but how does he what?
- 17:57Like she said, they're about to hook up again and he's like,
- 18:00Hank. Is that good?
- 18:05It's not enemies lovers. Are you kidding?
- 18:10It doesn't make. There's no reason to be like
- 18:15you're looking at me like it's just still doesn't make sense.
- 18:23And I know if the reason so dude, I feel like, even if you
- 18:27were painting, listen, that moment you got to pull them back
- 18:29up and get out the tent go. My vagina would Stitch itself
- 18:34Could be holed up closed for business ties.
- 18:37There's no there's no vagina here know what?
- 18:40Come on. Oh and freeway, I just can't
- 18:45believe like her. He says that it was the worst
- 18:48thing I've ever experienced and I experienced it twice because I
- 18:52had to do a refresher and when I heard it this time I was like
- 18:58there was nothing sexy about that sex scene.
- 19:00You know how sometimes in a book you can understand Maybe that's
- 19:03sex scenes not for me, but it might be sexy for people or one
- 19:06of the out there was nothing to appreciate here.
- 19:08Hmm. It's really hard to like, read a
- 19:11book about teenagers with sex scenes in it because you want to
- 19:14be disgusted that they're teenagers and you're reading
- 19:16about it, but your like we get in through the book.
- 19:19So you just pretend that they're not teenagers.
- 19:22Yeah. But to be fair, she wrote them
- 19:24like know teenagers. I've ever heard of before the
- 19:27things that they say it. But that's what I just assumed
- 19:31that they all roll around in like Pastel colored polos.
- 19:36They are doing an awful lot of cringey talking just off the bat
- 19:40where did all this weird creepy, affectionate talk how to smoke a
- 19:44joint was like enough to make me want to put the book down again.
- 19:51This was kind of like the other sex scene, how it just ended
- 19:54right as it sounded like there was starting to get into it.
- 19:57It just sort of hinted. Yeah, I'm like huh.
- 20:00And then they were walking out of the tent and then rejoining
- 20:02group immediately. Lee while she had no underwear
- 20:05on. It was like no sex though, the
- 20:06sex started. And it wasn't a Fade to Black,
- 20:09like time passed. It was like, okay, we're done,
- 20:11we're done, we're done. So we get outside of the sex
- 20:15scene, and Nate's, like Pinder Torah tree again, like that
- 20:18wasn't traumatic. The first time you did it, she
- 20:20trusts me. And then he goes, and does this
- 20:22shit anyway, he wouldn't trust him.
- 20:24Then, you know, it's a bit of a, like, abusive relationship.
- 20:29Um, he's and he's harassing her about everything that she
- 20:32apparently. Is yeah, but then he says
- 20:35there's so much she doesn't know.
- 20:37Hmm. And again he's giving nothing.
- 20:39It was driving me insane because I'm like, haven't we had this
- 20:41conversation? A hundred times already.
- 20:43Yeah and then Nate says you're going to die context.
- 20:47Please tell me why so I can prevent myself lying old age or
- 20:53like I mean I've will eventually be what what's our timeline?
- 20:58What's our time frame like? What do you know that you're not
- 21:00telling me? Apparently.
- 21:01What is it? That he knows she should start.
- 21:03Flipping the script and start interrogating, all this stupid
- 21:05asses and zip tying them, I would me.
- 21:08I mean she could at this point though they were all scared of
- 21:11her originally when they thought she was going around, killing
- 21:13people. Exactly, I don't know if much
- 21:16happened that night. Apart from the cringy, then
- 21:19smoking weed together Tilly group sex till he had sex, made
- 21:23some of the things they say just make me want to hell and Carter
- 21:27was like a non-event. He was supposed to make thing, I
- 21:29jealous. What was the point that he's
- 21:32just not? She's to into bishop and they
- 21:35can, she's just not, but I don't know if we're supposed to ask
- 21:38the audience, like Bishop, is he supposed to be the sultry bad
- 21:42boy that we're kind of rooting for because he's not.
- 21:44I don't think he is in this book but you kind of do in the second
- 21:48I think is second or third. Okay, all right, because at this
- 21:50point I'm like I fucking hate Bishop.
- 21:52So the next day this is still the camping trip.
- 21:56They're just casually hanging out in the water.
- 21:59She never mentions the trauma that she's dealt with, she just
- 22:02doesn't care. R.
- 22:04I don't think she fully accepts. It I'd be bitching to my
- 22:07friends, all the next day and saying I'm leaving early.
- 22:10If I got harassed multiple times a night before.
- 22:12Oh, you could have literally told me that second and we would
- 22:15already be in the car but I know we would have slept in the car
- 22:19and then less exactly. Like why give these guys the
- 22:22time of day Bishops in the water.
- 22:26The way that I cringe when he was licking the lake water off
- 22:29his lip. Oh my God, there's so many
- 22:31things that made me cringe and it was like Started with the
- 22:34board shorts and don't give us board shorts.
- 22:38Don't I do reckon board shorts and Walker in G to Australians
- 22:42because the ones that they sell here are so foul.
- 22:46Yes. Yeah.
- 22:47They're very like colorful and gross grow back where these like
- 22:50dad's fully wear these but then they look like they should be on
- 22:53a two-year-old. All they wear the ones with dull
- 22:55half-naked women printed on them you know the ones.
- 22:58Yeah so anytime I pitch a board shorts.
- 23:00I picture the half-naked women. The airbrush Women with the
- 23:04titties. Yeah.
- 23:04The ones from City Beach like I lay still think, yes, they are.
- 23:07Sadly, no, absolutely not. So back to the top clicking
- 23:11before we go licking the dirty like water off his lips, not the
- 23:16parasite. T just ingested, I figured
- 23:19straight into his dick. He deserves those little fish
- 23:24dick thing. I hope he goes home and he's
- 23:32peeing blood. So they're like chilling out in
- 23:37the water and then she was supposed to be all like
- 23:40complimented that he came over to her.
- 23:42Yeah. Uses her like a goddamn like
- 23:46watching a call it that is no exactly.
- 23:53And you exactly what you meant. I just it slipped my mind.
- 23:57He literally uses her like a Fleshlight and she's surprised
- 24:01when he comes over. Oh yeah.
- 24:04And she's like, oh my God, out of all the people that are here
- 24:07it's what it's just chili and tight only being fucked by Nate.
- 24:11Anyway hmm I thought take him wasn't it?
- 24:13No Tatum is that that's all good.
- 24:15She got fucked by j.j. so hunter in the tent while they Were all
- 24:23in there. Could I?
- 24:24That's what I hated when they started writing about, Tatum
- 24:26that way. Because I'm like, she get a room
- 24:29girl. Why would she?
- 24:31Ya know, like good for her? Sure.
- 24:32But she literally is in the tent.
- 24:34She's like, I'm sorry like mid sex and it's like, oh, you just
- 24:38wait till everyone's drunk and then go elsewhere.
- 24:41Do the boys, not have their own 10.
- 24:43There's like, 10 of them. Are they all just sleeping
- 24:45outside or keys? So then she's getting fucked on
- 24:48the Rock again. Rock.
- 24:53Hey Emily. Did you know?
- 24:55Did you know fun fact that the opposite of cock block is cock
- 25:02bait? Oh my God, I don't even know
- 25:06what that Vision called her cock bait.
- 25:09No not the chart. I thought she said that someone
- 25:13said I swear she said is this your cock block?
- 25:16Because she said hoo ha she called it her heart and she's
- 25:21like you know, The opposite to Cock bait.
- 25:24I'm like, I don't even know what cut bait means.
- 25:27Everyone knows what called book is, we are Bishop we don't need
- 25:30coke bait to let us not miss blockers.
- 25:33Have all the boys born in the 1900s.
- 25:36Wait, so she called it her hoo-ha.
- 25:39Yeah. And he was like, don't call it
- 25:41your hoo-ha. Absolutely.
- 25:48It's okay. So he's like kitty, don't call
- 25:50it a hoo-ha. The way I would have thrown my
- 25:55phone out the window. Considering how cheesy is?
- 26:00I like he is so complain about hoo-hah.
- 26:03Mmm, he hasn't always stand on. He's a massive hoo-hah.
- 26:12Walking bottom, dude, but it's because of the source material,
- 26:19ah, by the end of this episode, we just going to be going
- 26:22through, huh? It's gonna make sense.
- 26:27We're gonna be like cook baby. Who, who is she?
- 26:32She's just not like other girls. Shit.
- 26:36So what was up with that sex scene?
- 26:38Because I kind of all right, these okay.
- 26:40So this next scene, the thing that I thought of which was
- 26:42really funny. What is with books that
- 26:45sometimes have girls having immediate orgasm zero effort?
- 26:49It's not real. Is it just because they're bad
- 26:51at writing a sex scene so they just want to escalate it quickly
- 26:54quickly. No.
- 26:55Because there's like people, I reckon that because you read
- 26:58other books and now they put the full effort in.
- 27:01Yeah. But, you know, she's on a rock
- 27:04and she's just orgasm in five. Seconds later, I mean with your
- 27:07like with my unless you had like a thing for pain I suppose.
- 27:11Yeah, you know like when you're having sex my back was on fire
- 27:17from all the scratches on the Rock.
- 27:19I would not be. We talked about, we talked and
- 27:21smooth Rock. We took an oath because she
- 27:23Jagged Edge Jagged Edge because she gets up and he's like shit
- 27:27and she's like, it will heal like he cared the first couple
- 27:29of times - like fully office. She's a little heel.
- 27:35You can actually imagine see department has spun popping up
- 27:44and he's like Get Naked a bit like.
- 27:51Wasn't that sick seen over really quick too?
- 27:53Because I couldn't quite picture what was even happening, you
- 27:55know, I sex scene, you can kind of maybe even imagine what
- 27:59they're doing. I'm sure work out how she there
- 28:02was a bit worried. She was like he Lifted Me Above
- 28:05The water does that mean his waist was above the water?
- 28:08Because it seems like his face was in the water face first into
- 28:18the water like She's like on the rock.
- 28:56He's doing that. So he's looking for his Ransom
- 28:59and then he's doing like the little shark fin, Eliza things
- 29:03like do Nana. What you up Maddie?
- 29:09Oh shit. Anyway another sexy that was
- 29:11prematurely over imagine Bishop saying that kidnapping and
- 29:16sexual assaulting her is quote unquote would your own good?
- 29:20Oh my God. Absolutely and they collectively
- 29:23don't even want to be doing it but she's not ready to know the
- 29:26truth, I mean. Yeah.
- 29:28But also he's all-knowing and God like, oh my God, that
- 29:31reminds me of the, on the Rock, the tattoo, what's with these
- 29:35tattoo? What was it again?
- 29:36It's something like Tommy embarrassing.
- 29:38No doubt. It was it was like there's
- 29:40wolves are as people something and then there's me God.
- 29:44Like the way I would actually kill myself by a friend.
- 29:54So are you killing yourself? You're not the one with that
- 29:57tattoo. I-i'm not in the air, like you
- 30:00would do me. I would never if a man ever said
- 30:04that to me, that's what would tell you, Don, their body.
- 30:07Didn't she see it? And then have sex with him.
- 30:08Oh yeah, she's like, oh, of course you do.
- 30:13Ha ha I would run. I would run.
- 30:17It's just like, he's just saying, oh, hey, it's all good.
- 30:21That we did that because it's through your own good.
- 30:23I mean, Like credit a groomer 101 or something.
- 30:26Yeah, blaming the person who is being groomed, hmm, I hate how
- 30:34old she fucking wants to do is read a stupid cult book and
- 30:38she's only you know, she's only doing it to appear different.
- 30:41She's like all my friends are dumb.

- 31:13keeps going like she's like all their skates and it's like girl
- 31:16you just got fucked on a rock. Exactly.
- 31:19Dirty water. Yeah, I mean, if we're comparing
- 31:23exact if we're slut I mean, yeah, I know would flood this
- 31:27needs to be that mean we're that guys looking in the mirror and
- 31:29pointing, as I was reading the book, I was really confused by
- 31:33all the slut talk. Why does he all to keep going on
- 31:36and on and on about who's a slot, everyone's asleep at me so
- 31:39that's not something I'm gonna like it never ended.
- 31:41They know it doesn't and that's the thing.
- 31:43Like I don't know if it was just a her trying to get into like
- 31:46the teenage character or if she would that misogynistic.
- 31:48I feel like teenagers don't even care that much.
- 31:51I'm not even that judgmental been a while for me.
- 31:55It's been a while since I was a teenager.
- 31:56But why would you turn around and care that much about your
- 31:59friends is sex lives that you're constantly calling them slots is
- 32:02what I mean? I mean, wouldn't you be happy
- 32:04for them? You just beat rolling with it
- 32:06for the tea. Yeah, I'd like get it.
- 32:08Girl. Come back with some stories.

- 32:12Well, that's gonna tilian title mob.
- 32:14A kind of like come back with all the stories.
- 32:16Yeah, and then she goes and participate though, she doesn't
- 32:18tell them. She's the worst friend fucker.
- 32:21She doesn't spill any tea. How dare she Doesn't know what
- 32:24the fuck's going on. Even, she doesn't even know.
- 32:28So they get home and Nate's fucking someone.
- 32:33He's room and it's Tilly, right? And Bishop kind of ring.
- 32:37Since like a packed bag. Be ready in five minutes, no
- 32:39context given. And she like, barges in there,
- 32:42like, we need to go and five minutes and dates.
- 32:45Like no, we don't. And then Bishop comes in and
- 32:48they leave, but they weren't going to take Tilly, and then
- 32:51everyone was like, no she needs to go.
- 32:53She's been Fucking around with me.
- 32:55She needs to go. Yeah but then she's like come on
- 32:58chilly. Let's go randomly to somewhere.
- 33:00We don't even know what's going on.
- 33:02I mean yeah then off they go off.
- 33:04They go for a five-hour drive Bishop could just say drop your
- 33:08panties and run around in a circle.
- 33:10This Mike, we've gotta leave immediately dive off the roof.
- 33:13She would she would, it's just dumb.
- 33:15She's not learning anything that there's zero character
- 33:18development. No, see.
- 33:20If someone she got worse, she started off like I'm I'm
- 33:24different and I at least know guns and I don't try and people
- 33:27are key and then now she just trust anyone.
- 33:30Yeah, reason for no reason. Ridiculous.
- 33:34I mean, if you were like getting kidnapped consistently from this
- 33:37these people. Why would you get in the car
- 33:39with them willing? What does having sex with this
- 33:41person like twice change? I know.
- 33:45Well, she trusts people then Nate had to just do bare minimum
- 33:49stuff and she's like, I love him because he's my brother.
- 33:52I mean it wasn't the third day in on her being there just like
- 33:55they would never do that. Oh yeah.
- 33:57You don't even know this kid, your stepbrothers trying to fuck
- 34:00you like every step of the way. Ready like the number-one friend
- 34:05Fat flag. Number one, is he made a bet to
- 34:07see who could fuck you first and you think he cares to be fair.
- 34:12He had the upper hand with that bit too because he physically is
- 34:16there. So he thought he could probably
- 34:18do it before Bishop code because just proximity.
- 34:20Yeah. Well, it's surprise for that bit
- 34:23her vagina. I know.
- 34:27So there isn't like they're driving to Urgent random
- 34:30location it randomly. Haitian which is Bishops cabin
- 34:35family cabin in the middle of nowhere.
- 34:37But what it's like a five hour drive and they'll like they'll
- 34:43check all the boys houses first and then they'll come here
- 34:48laughs. I'm like if you've been here for
- 34:49five hours it probably takes about five minutes for them to
- 34:53check all the people's houses and then they only been four
- 34:57hours behind you, not over an hour behind you.
- 35:01But have they ever heard of Can you just ask them, like guys,
- 35:04are you good? Do we have to escape, but
- 35:06whatever, my alway all of them, right?
- 35:14And also, you're in a, in a car together for five hours and
- 35:17still, no one can give you answers.
- 35:18Absolutely. Like, I have appointments
- 35:21scheduled tomorrow, I have to go to sleep.
- 35:23The way. I would be so annoying, that I
- 35:24would ask so many questions into.
- 35:27I'll be there yet. I'll be there, I'll be there.
- 35:29Yeah, just on repeat, like what are they gonna do?
- 35:31Nothing. More than what they have done.
- 35:33Yeah. So for me reading this book, I
- 35:36was getting really tired of miscellaneous.
- 35:38Emergencies, / reasons to kidnap / assault, there's no
- 35:43connection. It's just all over the place.
- 35:46And there's only so many times you can really pull that in a
- 35:50book. Yeah, this is what the fucking
- 35:53fourth time that they've whisked her away or, and I mean, they
- 35:57just go home after and then there's never resolution.
- 36:00Yeah, it's like, oh, it's okay. Safe now, it's just like, well,
- 36:04why couldn't you just fucking ride down the road?
- 36:06Half an hour to these? Why wouldn't the why can't you
- 36:10just go camping? Half an hour away.
- 36:11Why did it have to be five hours?
- 36:13Literally just came home from camping.
- 36:15Yeah. So there was a real safety issue
- 36:17and they tell the parents Madison takes a random drink
- 36:20from Bishop at this point. Would you even trust him not to
- 36:22root for you at any time? Absolutely not.
- 36:26She fully trust him though. Yeah, so there's a text exchange
- 36:29between Madison and Tatum. Yeah.
- 36:32And then they're just talking back and forth and then Tatum's
- 36:34literally like, do you think you're falling in love with
- 36:37bishop and it was just so Random.
- 36:39I mean I don't know where it's like girl has been 14 days.
- 36:42Like relax express shipping on this dude, right?
- 36:46Even think I've ever asked you about that with your long-term
- 36:48relationship. No never.
- 36:51Why would I we've been friends for that long and I don't think
- 36:53I've ever we've ever. Why would we ask such a weird?
- 36:57Do you think about being in love with him?
- 36:59Who cares? This is me.
- 37:02You're okay. I'd be like, I think you're a
- 37:04dumb bitch right now, dude. It's just water corrected.
- 37:08It's ready. I'm like, I feel like you're
- 37:12missing the whole point. I feel like when you close
- 37:14friends with someone, you don't word.
- 37:16Big picture question like that randomly in a text message.
- 37:19No, you don't. When you're having a DNM in real
- 37:21life or something? Yeah, and all the time, if
- 37:23you're that close with friends, you can just tell without asking
- 37:26any way. Actually.
- 37:27You don't need that to be confirmed.
- 37:29I do. Did she not really quite answer
- 37:31the Nor did I think Bishop came back to the room and he was
- 37:35literally, he came back to the room and he's like, I've had a
- 37:37rough day. I just need you to open your
- 37:39legs. If anyone said that to me, I'd
- 37:41be like, hmm. Closed closed for business.
- 37:45Weren't they just in the car forever?
- 37:47Yeah, he's spoken to stay outside or something.
- 37:50Also, they've arrived at Bishops cabin now.
- 37:52Yeah. That would be nice hours.
- 37:54Yeah. Well again she's just his
- 37:56flashlight. Uh-huh.
- 37:57She's not like really there for any particular reason.
- 38:01Ian Waite was there a sex scene there, there was a sex scene, it
- 38:05was like a very minimum sexy, and I think, and then it was
- 38:07like, the next morning and they had like, a him watching her.
- 38:12Get off, thinking that way into sex.
- 38:15Okay. It was like, it literally goes
- 38:18do what you would do if I'm not there and he's like, slight, I'd
- 38:22be like, borrow, you were never there my whole life.
- 38:24So yeah, even I don't even know who you are.
- 38:29You just watching. Netflix is eating I'll cool.
- 38:32You just pull up that picture real quick, um, like that's what
- 38:35I meant. I'm like.
- 38:36Okay, okay, so I have no idea where this court is coming from
- 38:40because nothing in this book, really chronologically make
- 38:43sense. So if I say something random
- 38:45it's because I wrote it down as a note, but usually it's Parks
- 38:49information for me too. Okay, so this one bit.
- 38:52So I think this is Madison talking to herself.
- 38:56She thinks she would shoot to kill some slut who shot a
- 39:00mountain lion. And oh yeah, she was talking
- 39:03about how she was against hunting particular animals and
- 39:08she said I would shoot to kill any slut who killed a mountain
- 39:13lion so she doesn't value human life as long as it's female.
- 39:16So, right. And therefore if you're female
- 39:19your ass lat first of all let's get that let's get that coming
- 39:22on. Imagine having a set of like a
- 39:24healthy sexual relationship with your partner but okay.
- 39:27Any other person very much anti-choice she He's given
- 39:31Merica. She's giving Republican, she's
- 39:34giving pro-life. Um, so I think the next day they
- 39:38do a traditional paintball game, but it really, and the how that
- 39:43spark that. And she gets shot out first by
- 39:46Bishop, but then she takes Brantley and stuff out because
- 39:50she's like, I must play. Where are they doing this out?
- 39:53In the cabin out in the forest, in the wilderness?
- 39:57So they just add Bishops cabin and they just happen to have.
- 40:01I mean, they're in a high-stress situation, but they must have a
- 40:04traditional Bible. They have a bit of a chill down
- 40:07with some paintball. Yeah, hello.
- 40:09I mean, that's not the way I would go for a chill down.
- 40:12If someone needs to find them, wouldn't be look at his second
- 40:15address. I mean, it was handed down to
- 40:17their family in generation. He's had it since he was 15 on
- 40:22the books. It's on the books.
- 40:24The first place I'd fucking look if I'll even go to school
- 40:27anymore but no, you know what? Confuses me because I don't know
- 40:31if I just miss something or whatever when the hell was
- 40:34Bishops dad, even chasing Madison.
- 40:37So I love how it's just me, burying something up and then
- 40:40you having to explain it. I think it's fine.
- 40:44It's what I'm here for. So the guy the old guy in that
- 40:48when they were doing the car race you know, was Bishops Dad?
- 40:52Yep and He see, I could spoil like everything for everyone
- 40:58right now, and I don't know if I should.
- 41:00So I'm just like, maybe we'll save the spoilers for The
- 41:02Mirror, save it for the answer. I've got to be careful.
- 41:05It's Bishop start, and he finds out that he's with Madison, and
- 41:09he thinks Madison is this person, which she is this
- 41:12person, he thinks, so they're trying to kill her.
- 41:14Hmm. And that's why they're hiding
- 41:16okay? Yeah.
- 41:18Oh, dad's not going to know where his secret cabinet that he
- 41:20handed down to him when he was 15 years.
- 41:22Actually, that's not going to know.
- 41:24There. I mean for someone that is the
- 41:27god person of his group and is the leader.
- 41:29He's sure. I ain't got some smarts in
- 41:32there. Yeah.
- 41:33And he only had to make a phone call and then he he could have
- 41:38fixed it. You know what I mean?
- 41:40Yeah. She was like, oh, it's all good.
- 41:42It's oh, gee. I just called my daddy and it's
- 41:43fine. But she was like, it's saying
- 41:45that in the whole time in the car, she's like, can you just
- 41:47call your dad? It's a lie.
- 41:48I'm not who I am, and it's like, it's not that simple and that it
- 41:51was, it was assembled. It was that simple.
- 41:55Be sure you made everyone do a 10-hour drive but not anything.
- 42:00I just sent his data text just be like it's not her.
- 42:05Yeah, just be like it wasn't me, it wasn't me.
- 42:09It wasn't me, but Shaggy plays on car radio.
- 42:13That's this book is a fucking series of nonsensical events as
- 42:18long as if she's got a dartboard and she's sorry, pops up.
- 42:24That's the next Point like it doesn't connect and it doesn't
- 42:28make sense. So it'll lose the sport.
- 42:31That's a big lead wrong together.
- 42:33It would make more sense if their dad won't out there with a
- 42:36group of people and was like, this is the time this is where
- 42:39time we're fucking shit up but it doesn't.
- 42:42It never does. And also wouldn't it be cool if
- 42:44they had the hunting element in it?
- 42:46Because I always want my guns? Always talk about this.
- 42:48And that well, they did. Kinda she was like, I wonder how
- 42:50that hunt and he was like, you got my dick hard and then that's
- 42:53when their dad. That's when Daddy Bishop was
- 43:01stopped. Yes.
- 43:03Oh Homer, they go pop. A big old fluffy dick of a plot.
- 43:14Anyway, I was very heavily confused.
- 43:18Um, all right, so Madison says that she loves Nate and they
- 43:21grew together quickly. Oh no.
- 43:24What is that based on? Because the minimal interactions
- 43:27have really had. I think she's just that horny
- 43:31all the time. Like horny shouldn't translate
- 43:33to brotherly. Love something is not math and
- 43:38it sounds like she's just like I love him so much and like we
- 43:41grew together so quickly within the first five minutes.
- 43:43I mean I like is there like a time job?
- 43:46Is that what happened? Has it been six months?
- 43:49It feels like it's only been five days the way.
- 43:53I would need the biggest nap ever owned all this shit.
- 43:56Oh girl. So Maddie cares.
- 43:59That Nate slept with someone else because he was originally
- 44:02sleeping with Tilly to Tatum because he flipped at a time
- 44:08first, some potato fast. Yes.
- 44:10And then he sleeping with Tilly. Hmm.
- 44:12But then she doesn't even tell Tatum that he hooked up with
- 44:15Tilly. But Hayden kind of knows, I
- 44:18think, but she kind of has no girl code who Maddie.
- 44:22Yeah, I actually think she does till.
- 44:25He says it in front of Tatum and Taylor literally goes, I don't
- 44:27care that much. It was I was using him.
- 44:30She does care. So she goes back to school, so
- 44:33they actually do go to school. All right.
- 44:35And when well, apparently, I mean they're Saturday night
- 44:38asked me that while day, she gets this video and her the
- 44:42expose video is on YouTube. All places, why wouldn't it be
- 44:45on Tick-Tock guy's ass? Story Time with Ali, like in
- 44:48front of it, on the green screen with the screenshots and the
- 44:50bank account, like why would it be on YouTube.
- 44:52This lady needs to update where you might expose someone because
- 44:55this book was written like two years ago.
- 44:57Hey or a year ago, wasn't it? Why would it be on YouTube?
- 45:01No one's going to find it. I mean Twitter even and also it
- 45:03would get banned straight away. He's got videos of medicine
- 45:06having sex with multiple people and she's a minor to yeah.
- 45:10Technically associate video of them in the tent.
- 45:13Yeah, she had. What else does she have?
- 45:15He had her making out with Nate and then how did she get that?
- 45:20Come on. And I think there was a video
- 45:22of, I don't know, I'm pretty sure it already came up where
- 45:25all and the video of Brantley front of sleep with her, but I'm
- 45:28like it wasn't a lie that took the video.
- 45:30Yeah. So who was it?
- 45:32And I don't think it ever come back around and why would she
- 45:34have like a clear video of they're making out in the lounge
- 45:37room in their own home? The thing is too, like, with the
- 45:40End of This Book to, it doesn't make sense that she did.
- 45:43It will. She's the one posting it and
- 45:46we're supposed to think it's because she's jealous of her and
- 45:48Bishop. Yeah.
- 45:49But what that just makes you look like a weirdo.
- 45:51Yeah. Stalker.
- 45:53Yeah. And couldn't that be, then you
- 45:54could be charged with stalking. I think if he's charged with
- 45:58practically child. Pornography.
- 45:59Yeah. Anyway.
- 46:03So yeah. She's a bit sad about that.
- 46:04Wasn't she sort of like depressed and stressed out at
- 46:06school? Yeah, just go home.
- 46:08I think she did end up going home.
- 46:11Are we supposed to believe that Ali's just the main Do I know
- 46:15this is so weird. It literally made my sense to
- 46:18any of the storyline anyway every time that any passage of
- 46:21that called book came up I literally skipped ahead just
- 46:24like ramble, absolutely ramble. Actually that reminds me there's
- 46:28you know how in the start of the chapters as a couple of quotes.
- 46:32Mmm it's to own right as core. What do you mean, some of the
- 46:37little quotes that start out the start of the chapter, you know,
- 46:40how the random quotes and it's like quoted by.
- 46:43It's the author's quotes the whole book is you've girl, the
- 46:50only been I remember next, is her breaking into Bishops House?
- 46:53And that's where they've killed Ali, right?
- 46:56So she went home, upset, that Ali, publish this video online,
- 47:00and yeah, and then she breaks into Bishop.
- 47:01Was she trying to get answers? I can't quite remember.
- 47:04I think she would. She took the Book with her,
- 47:06she's trying to get answers. And she just like stormed into
- 47:09his house and went downstairs. And there's a lie, dead.
- 47:12Yeah, and she was like the fuck and then that's when they run
- 47:16out and that's pretty much the end of the book.
- 47:18So she was running away from witnessing a fresh murder yet.
- 47:21Book falls out onto the ground. She's on her hands and knees.
- 47:24She looks up and it's her own dad, bump a bomb and then she
- 47:29shocked to see him, right? And then she casually reads the
- 47:32next chapter, on all fours of the grill.
- 47:34And then she Sit out. She works out everything but
- 47:37that's how we set it up. Like, hold on Dad.
- 47:39I know you're up there looking at me down on the ground and
- 47:41then she runs out and then she's had time to read the whole
- 47:45chapter on the ground, telling me that bishop and they would
- 47:47have fucking not Pinder to the ground.
- 47:50And it's like, hey Dad, can you just put your flashlight on
- 47:52cycle? Is really this on the ground for
- 47:53a sec? I'm just I'm I'm pulling
- 47:55together. Everything.
- 47:56All of sudden. I know people keep telling me to
- 47:57finish the book but I just I'm just leaving it.
- 47:59Now is the time now is the time. I'm just leaving it for as long
- 48:02as possible and then she's like out of there and her and Tate
- 48:05Um, I like running and Bishop running after them in the gates
- 48:08shouting. It's just very Princess Diaries.
- 48:11I don't know. So, okay, when she casually read
- 48:16that last chapter and she was piecing, it all together.
- 48:19Is she the silvers? Wonder?
- 48:20She's broken puppet. She's the surface one, but then
- 48:23we're introduced to Bergen puppet as well because he calls
- 48:26her a bargain. Papa, I think, at one point
- 48:29because he likes to put the piece and I think Ella.
- 48:32Yeah. Which makes sense.
- 48:33With that weird thing. He said about us.
- 48:35On the actually got a sickness fun, and that's it.
- 48:42So there was no answers. There was no answers.
- 48:47Okay. So, any final thoughts about
- 48:50this first? Silver Swan, don't read it, just
- 48:54listen to a podcast. Don't read it.
- 48:56There's no need, we've explained as much as we can.
- 48:58Yeah, there's no point, there's not even good sexy, instead
- 49:01balance it out, at least, if it was a shit book, it had good
- 49:05sex. Seems you'd be like, worth it
- 49:08but oh, mighty good romance. You've got to have one.
- 49:10You can either have everything really good and shitty sex
- 49:13scenes and be fine, but you can't have it all shit.
- 49:15No, no, no. It's just I don't know where
- 49:18you're going. It's like you're alone in a dark
- 49:21dumpster and you don't know where to turn and it stinks in
- 49:25there. That's what it's like reading it
- 49:26because I feel like she's trying to get as much as she could out
- 49:29of the series and she just kept roaring it out with.
- 49:33No. But I first book should be.
- 49:35Setting up the basics. Yeah, should be working on your
- 49:39main characters. Yeah.
- 49:40You should be developing them and then there should be the
- 49:43subplot of whatever's going on, big picture in the background.
- 49:46So that if you wanted this to be the first book, then it starts
- 49:49ramping up in the second book. Yeah, like you can't give us
- 49:51nothing and doesn't even, I would I care about the
- 49:53characters if you giving me nobody.
- 49:55Yeah, there's no information, absolutely not.
- 50:00So I mean, what else is there really to say was there any good
- 50:03parts that we could know nerve here?
- 50:09And there look it was a beautiful, big flop.
- 50:12I mean if you're fully dedicated to reading the entire series and
- 50:16you think you can get through it, maybe read it.
- 50:19But for what value, it's just teenagers running around and
- 50:23running. Amok.
- 50:24Running amok in this town. Yeah.
- 50:27A little Polo just like their mellotts from The Simpsons old
- 50:30man. Screams of cloud.
- 50:32That's just us to this book. Like I feel like I started
- 50:37getting where she was trying to go but she just never really got
- 50:40there. Yeah.
- 50:42Okay, so before we get into spoilers for the next couple
- 50:45books, how about we give this a rating?
- 50:48I thought we should read it out of five slots.
- 50:53Someone and a half slot for me, really.
- 50:56It's a semi slot one-and-a-half slots, Okay, so I'm gonna have
- 51:01to give it zero slots out of 5. Yeah, because there's nothing
- 51:04there. It's a non-event.
- 51:06I feel like that is zero sluts. Oh, you just retracted your
- 51:10one-and-a-half slut. I feel like I was being nice
- 51:12because I don't want to rag on it because unlike Rose, if she
- 51:24put the work in, dude, what? No, no, I mean if she put the
- 51:27work in, if she made it very Then if she took out the Wattpad
- 51:31Vibes, dude, I'm thinking this could never be enough.
- 51:34I just never get a true. This is no, we're just trying to
- 51:38be nice editor in the world. Could get this to a five slot
- 51:41founded by McNuggets. So, because you are dedicated
- 51:46and looked into. So, did you finish book two and
- 51:49three? I finished book, two and three,
- 51:51but it's mainly because I wanted answers, but it did put me in a
- 51:54reading slump for about two weeks.
- 51:56Okay? So do you want to let us know
- 51:59what? In two and three.
- 52:01I'm just going to give you random facts about a, okay?
- 52:04So spoiler alert, if you haven't read two and three, and you want
- 52:06to don't listen to this well, Lola and Trigger warnings.
- 52:09Okay? Because it's, it's dark in a way
- 52:12that I feel like. It shouldn't be like.
- 52:13It could have been another. So.
- 52:16Okay. After they disappear, they go to
- 52:18New Zealand. Where what?
- 52:20They're even are? They starting from Elaine
- 52:22America? Yeah, so they go to New Zealand
- 52:25with Tatum becomes a stripper and it.
- 52:28Wait, why do they go to New Zealand?
- 52:29They're on the run from these guys, so they go to New Zealand.
- 52:33She becomes a tattoo artist, Tatum becomes a stripper, which
- 52:36Maddie, of course, hates that she's a stripper.
- 52:38And then Tatum goes down, this weird, stripper, drug alcoholic
- 52:42panel, and then they get found and Bishops.
- 52:45Like, I already knew where you were this whole time and do it.
- 52:47So only medicine and Tatum go, yeah, they're running away from
- 52:51Bishop and her dad, they're running away from them all.
- 52:54So I'm just gonna so you like Madison and Tatum to He went
- 53:00missing after the cabin. Okay.
- 53:02She's been missing this entire time, so plot Point fertility
- 53:06will quickly get to the other way.
- 53:08She runs away. She gets caught by a mum, which
- 53:10is Cats, er, which is the crazy Lost Boy lady.
- 53:14If you remember that, or if that's not in that book.
- 53:17Anyway, the lost boys killed. The silver swans, the silver
- 53:20swans. I just girls that are born under
- 53:22the leaders, the 9 L. So, if Bishop ornate, or anyone
- 53:27in their seven had a girl, They would get killed.
- 53:31So their whole thing is like a weird misogynistic cult, right?
- 53:37Okay, they get power but it does change in the last book, where
- 53:42Tilly has a Silver Swan, she's pregnant with Nate, that's why
- 53:45she's missing and they save her and then silver sounds really
- 53:49bad. But the thing that I thought,
- 53:51why are you laughing? Why are they loud?
- 53:53It was weird because they didn't have a resolution for that and
- 53:56then they're like, Maddie you're my hero.
- 53:58She did not think she She literally did not think Maddie
- 54:01is actually related to Hunter Jace and two.
- 54:05Other ones wasn't Hunters. Knee up in her groin.
- 54:08Yes, Hunter was also the one in the tent where she was like I'll
- 54:12just have sex with Hunter. Yeah.
- 54:15So she really had sex with her biological brother and then
- 54:18she's a dad just fucking everyone.
- 54:20What's going on? No see, she's adopted what?
- 54:24I know what the fuck, right? She's adopted and she has a twin
- 54:26brother. That's Damon.
- 54:27Whose schizophrenic and he actually shoots her in the side
- 54:31of the head. It's grazes her son, fuck knock,
- 54:34sorry aren't casual graze on the side.
- 54:35That's just a casual Graves deal.
- 54:37She was adopted out because she was a Silver Swan, but her twin
- 54:40brother was a lost boy. So he kills the Silver Swan.
- 54:44I'm so cool. That's any way, that's healthy,
- 54:46that's healthy. So that's pretty much what I
- 54:47gathered. Most of the book, the trigger
- 54:50Warning part is that the reason Brantley hates her is because
- 54:55brantley's, Dad was the one that used to rape Madison as a child.
- 55:00Yeah. But but Brantley hates her
- 55:03because his dad used to do it to him, and Madison was the first
- 55:08girl that his dad made him have sex with when he was like five.
- 55:14Yeah, so that's why he hated Madison because it was like kind
- 55:16of the start of his sexual assaults Lori.
- 55:20Anyway they kill brantley's dad together.
- 55:23She might happen and Brantly yeah she gets kidnapped by them.
- 55:27Yeah she gets kidnapped and again by the all the dads so
- 55:31that's including her own adoptive dad then not in that's
- 55:34not her adoptive dad her adopted dad's really the only one that
- 55:37cares about her but barely barely barely damn it.
- 55:44Their minimum, I'm like all over the place but I'm trying my best
- 55:47to remember it. So Madison stabs are brantley's,
- 55:51dad and then Brantley, what stabs him like a thousand times.
- 55:54You know, when they'll like, what do you know?
- 55:57That's what they were trying to find out because she was brought
- 55:59up in that life and then they were on the run, right?
- 56:02Elizabeth is Madison's adoptive mom but her mom never died and
- 56:09kales was never dead either. So Kyle's got pregnant by
- 56:14Bishop's, dad, so Bishops dad is against the rape of children but
- 56:19he got a 15 year old pregnant. Oh my God.
- 56:24Yeah I know. And then in the third planet.
- 56:27Yeah, I know by the end of the third book, the dad and cows are
- 56:30in a relationship. I'm like I know that was all
- 56:33over the place but literally that's the only interesting
- 56:36bits. Okay so they're really just a
- 56:37misogynistic cult who and then e of the sex scenes improve.
- 56:42Know I love Hannah. I love how that's your go-to so
- 56:46I just I need to know like what's but really the only thing
- 56:49she got she got a couple of Brothers She was raped Brantley
- 56:54hated her because he was raped. Oh my God.
- 56:56They just as I am. Yeah.
- 56:58It's just a thing, is Bishop calls out his dad for like
- 57:03practically raping Calles. He's like, that's not okay, but
- 57:06he does it to Madison disaster disaster.
- 57:09Yeah. I see nothing exciting.
- 57:11I still don't know what's happening.
- 57:12I got to the end and I was like, I've had enough so till he's
- 57:15been kidnapped. Card is a bad guy.
- 57:17Oh, does it go. How many books are there?
- 57:21Do you know? I think there's like, Seven or
- 57:22eight. That's too much.
- 57:23That's too much iron around. Like I might maybe don't even do
- 57:28it anymore. Don't even do it, do it.
- 57:30Do it yourself. I'm like, the last page was
- 57:32Carter kidnapping Tilly and her baby.
- 57:35Why is everyone kidnapping everyone?
- 57:37Because fucking all that doesn't have no one from the school or
- 57:40anybody's checking in on these people.
- 57:42Well, police having a funeral for Damon, which is Maddie's
- 57:47twin, brother, that's schizophrenic and he killed
- 57:49himself. And then who's at the Neural all
- 57:53of them, even though they all hated him and that it was like,
- 57:56I love him. You can, we have a sibling Bond.
- 57:59Even though they literally couldn't have a conversation
- 58:01because the guy only New Orleans.
- 58:05It's funny because Bishop gets up.
- 58:06He's dad for the sexual assault thing.
- 58:08But when they find out that brantley's, Dad has been raping
- 58:12Maddie and Brantley their entire life.
- 58:14The bishop sides, like, I'm against rape, why he didn't get
- 58:17a 15 year old pregnant? It's the same fucking thing.
- 58:21My guy It's the same thing, the same category.
- 58:24Yeah, my good fellow, it's you bitch.
- 58:28It's yours again the guy pointing in the mirror.
- 58:32Oh my God. Yeah that's it.
- 58:33That's all I can remember. Well thanks for.
- 58:35You really took one for the team there.
- 58:38As I saw it, I still didn't fucking work.
- 58:40Anything out. That's your punishment.
- 58:44For suggesting this book in the first place it is, but you had
- 58:46to read this, to be fair. I didn't, you know what?
- 58:49I should have listened because it going Tick-Tock, I can't
- 58:51remember a name who had a rage and I live about it.
- 58:54She was like, don't read the second and third because they're
- 58:56not any better. I should have listened.
- 58:58Should have listened. You were warned, I was warned,
- 59:00you learn gave that author some money.
- 59:03I did. Yeah, by making that purchase.
- 59:06I mean, maybe she could take some riding lessons and work out
- 59:08a pot. Yeah.
- 59:09Or start fresh to start all over, take out a lot of the
- 59:12rape. Take out a lot of the sexual
- 59:14assault. This dark room, it's have to
- 59:16include rape. Does it have to actually not?
- 59:20Because as the book that people keep talking about on Tick-Tock
- 59:22where they're like, he broke her legs.
- 59:23I'm like, yeah, that's probably fine for a dock or a minutes but
- 59:27like totally fine. But I'm like, I feel like I draw
- 59:30the line at sexual assault, you know?
- 59:31Yeah. Like it doesn't have to be that
- 59:34hell. Yeah.
- 59:35Why does she need to be ripe? Continuously over a whole lot of
- 59:38some people use that as character development but she's
- 59:42gotten our care. Development.
- 59:43Yes, she's fucking dumb as a doorknob.
- 59:46Paul saying nothing Jack's. Imagine having that life,
- 59:49absolutely not anything else to add apart from?
- 59:52Don't read it now. That's it.
- 59:53This time. Read it.
- 59:54Cool. All right, well, I hope it was
- 59:57some entertainment value. I'm sorry like, we were
- 1:00:01everywhere with this book. It's really hard.
- 1:00:03Not to be because it's written, like it's so scatters, so, it
- 1:00:06sort of makes you feel scattered.
- 1:00:08Yeah. Well you read it.
- 1:00:09So if you want someone to just mind, fuck you and not in a good
- 1:00:12way. Maybe like this, if you have a
- 1:00:14high tolerance and yeash, you would be okay with her writing
- 1:00:17style, then. Yeah, maybe yeah.
- 1:00:19But it's not, it's not very thought out.
