- 0:28[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I think I've officially read all of her books.
- 0:33[SPEAKER_00]: Really.
- 0:33[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was trying to it's like I have betrayed people we meet on vacation.
- 0:39[SPEAKER_01]: Um, okay, no, I did DNF people when we don't make a show, so I, but I want to go back and give it another chance.
- 0:46[SPEAKER_01]: This has been a minute because it has, I read it when I first got into reading and I don't think that I was super into, like, contemporary, I think I was very into, like, hallmarky and fantasy.
- 1:00[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted that and then I hadn't read anything like Emily Henry, so I was like, hmm.
- 1:07[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really know if I like it.
- 1:08[SPEAKER_00]: What am I missing besides Beech Reed and people with me on vacation?
- 1:11[SPEAKER_00]: Great big beautiful life.
- 1:12[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I've read.
- 1:13[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 1:13[SPEAKER_00]: Oh happy place.
- 1:14[SPEAKER_00]: Happy place.
- 1:17[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 1:17[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 1:17[SPEAKER_01]: I did not like that one.
- 1:19[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously she has like her indie published stuff.
- 1:21[SPEAKER_00]: But like in Chad published, like that, I'm, I guess I'm almost halfway through.
- 1:25[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 1:26[SPEAKER_00]: Which is kind of exciting because I really like her stuff.
- 1:28[SPEAKER_00]: So, um.
- 1:29[SPEAKER_01]: Um, okay, so we can go ahead and tell you guys what we will be reading next month, which is Sagramal.
- 1:38[SPEAKER_00]: Dagger mail.
- 1:39[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I think that is like the newest Insta take-tot.
- 1:44[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
- 1:44[SPEAKER_00]: Where I guess we'll be reporting live from the streets, that is.
- 1:47[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 1:48[SPEAKER_01]: Do you all let you guys know if it is worth it or not?
- 1:51[SPEAKER_01]: We will be reporting back because Kaylee didn't read what it was about.
- 1:56[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know.
- 1:57[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no.
- 1:57[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.
- 1:59[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know.
- 1:59[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, wow, this is literally everywhere.
- 2:01[SPEAKER_01]: I want to read this.
- 2:03[SPEAKER_00]: I thought vampires.
- 2:04[SPEAKER_00]: Um, it's dark romance.
- 2:05[SPEAKER_01]: in y'all know how I feel about that so that it is a dark stalker which is right up my alley and right down not your alley alley.
- 2:16[SPEAKER_00]: Right down the street for me.
- 2:18[SPEAKER_01]: A few people that like I love the same book says us have given it five sources.
- 2:23[SPEAKER_00]: So I really trust their opinions too.
- 2:25[SPEAKER_00]: Like Kaylee and
- 2:27[SPEAKER_01]: I think that will be okay.
- 2:29[SPEAKER_01]: I really do.
- 2:30[SPEAKER_00]: I'm scared.
- 2:31[SPEAKER_01]: It'll probably be darker than like your typical book, but I think I think we'll be fine.
- 2:36[SPEAKER_00]: Because I think is this going to be my first true dark romance because I've read dark romcom.
- 2:40[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it's probably going to be mine too because I've read dark romcom.
- 2:43[SPEAKER_01]: Try and have it.
- 2:45[SPEAKER_01]: Would you consider the nevertheless dark romance now?
- 2:48[SPEAKER_01]: No, maybe.
- 2:49[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_01]: The president never lists.
- 2:52[SPEAKER_01]: Let me know if that was considered dark romance because I never Anyways, but recent reads.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_00]: What if I read?
- 3:02[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what I read.
- 3:03[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I just read Blood and Steel by Helen Schueler.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, thank you.
- 3:12[SPEAKER_00]: I loved that book and I will be finishing the series.
- 3:16[SPEAKER_00]: There are four books in the series.
- 3:19[SPEAKER_00]: I, water, Hawthorne, love him, love him.
- 3:25[SPEAKER_00]: The girl, I really like her as an FMC.
- 3:28[SPEAKER_00]: Like, she isn't that annoying FMC in a fantasy book.
- 3:32[SPEAKER_00]: Like, she knows what she wants and she's working for it.
- 3:35[SPEAKER_00]: Like, and she stands up for herself.
- 3:37[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I, and obviously there's like a hidden past and all this stuff.
- 3:41[SPEAKER_00]: I really.
- 3:42[SPEAKER_00]: It's the legends of Thessmore, which I've heard of.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't hear blood and steel.
- 3:45[SPEAKER_00]: I heard of legends with Thessmore.
- 3:47[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 3:48[SPEAKER_00]: So that part, it's really good.
- 3:49[SPEAKER_00]: I think you would like it.
- 3:51[SPEAKER_01]: I'm listening to the re-do list by Denise Williams.
- 3:54[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I saw you post about that.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_01]: I just found it on Libby whenever I was scrolling and I'm actually I'm like,
- 4:01[SPEAKER_01]: 61% done with it.
- 4:04[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
- 4:05[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, it's like brother's best friend like oh, yeah For it in romance type vibe where he's ex-military and her brother is in the military and She goes to like this super public break-up where life means got made up her and everything Oh, gosh, and so she moves to watch over her brother's house while he's deployed
- 4:29[SPEAKER_01]: and take care of his dog and the brother's best friend lives right on the road and the brother's like take care of her while I'm gone, watch over her and she's good because she's going through a hard time right now and while he is he's making sure she is having a fantastic time.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_01]: The only thing is it's a little bit of an age gap, but it doesn't feel like an age gap.
- 4:52[SPEAKER_01]: You know, yeah, like it.
- 4:54[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't feel like an age gap romance But I think there's like 10 years first.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, is this the first you've read of hers?
- 5:00[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I've never heard of her before What is her name Denise Williams?
- 5:04[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, but like I said, I was just scrolling on Libby to find something that was available in this was available I'm one of the dogs so cute.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_00]: There's a cute dog on the footer on the cover.
- 5:14[SPEAKER_01]: So
- 5:14[SPEAKER_01]: Definitely recommend that on audio and it's Teddy Hamilton.

- 5:30[SPEAKER_00]: I gave it a 4.75.
- 5:30[SPEAKER_00]: Just a few to five.
- 5:33[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
- 5:34[SPEAKER_00]: No, you know why?
- 5:35[SPEAKER_00]: Why?
- 5:36[SPEAKER_00]: Because of the
- 5:42[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to say why.
- 5:44[SPEAKER_00]: No, I had five sisters growing up.
- 5:45[SPEAKER_00]: So like, I didn't call my sisters, not a call to my their names.
- 5:49[SPEAKER_00]: And it just like in my head, I think I read it a certain way.

- 6:03[SPEAKER_01]: I hated it.
- 6:04[SPEAKER_01]: I hated it.
- 6:04[SPEAKER_01]: I hated it.
- 6:04[SPEAKER_01]: I hated it.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_01]: I hated it.

- 6:07[SPEAKER_01]: I hated it.
- 6:07[SPEAKER_01]: I hated it.
- 6:08[SPEAKER_01]: I hated it.
- 6:08[SPEAKER_01]: I hated it.
- 6:08[SPEAKER_01]: I hated it.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_01]: I hated it.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_01]: I hated it.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_01]: I hated it.
- 6:10[SPEAKER_01]: I hated it.
- 6:10[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:10[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:11[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:11[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:11[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:11[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:13[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:13[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:13[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:13[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it
- 6:14[SPEAKER_00]: not like in a way that it's like, I mean, it is like hard.
- 6:17[SPEAKER_00]: There were a lot of things that cackled about because like the banter between Charlie and Nora is just so witty.
- 6:24[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_00]: That part is funny, but like the seriousness of the situation, I guess you could say.
- 6:29[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 6:30[SPEAKER_01]: it it wasn't like your typical like it was definitely a full-on contemporary romance that agreed with a hallmark ending but you know yeah so that's like it was good but there were parts in it where I was like like it it just took me a while to read and that's if it takes me that long to read and I'm just not like feral for it then it doesn't deserve a five stars for me I think
- 6:54[SPEAKER_00]: then I just loved the wit between Nora and Charlie.
- 6:58[SPEAKER_00]: So much that I was like, oh, immediately, I was like, I love this.
- 7:04[SPEAKER_01]: I put for this book is for you.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_01]: If you're an eldest daughter,
- 7:11[SPEAKER_00]: I, 100% was channeling eldest daughter from Taylor Swift.
- 7:15[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I was like, yeah, if you are the eldest daughter or not even what's the word biologically the eldest daughter, but the daughter that was always putting the others needs before your own and always putting yourself to the curb and working to ensure and just like take like the parents love the parent daughter and like that doesn't always have to be the oldest kid.
- 7:41[SPEAKER_01]: If you were a child who was made to be a parent, then this book is for you.
- 7:46[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought it was so interesting to hear the interpretation of their childhood between Libby and Bora and how they both saw it so differently, like, Libby saw her mom as this carefree, carefree, irresponsible woman, but Nora saw it as magic being made.
- 8:05[SPEAKER_00]: And I just, I feel like even like because Nora held so much of the responsibility, I'm surprised
- 8:11[SPEAKER_01]: For sure.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_01]: I just I thought that was a really interesting dynamic because nor did this whole time was like obsessed with taking care of Libyan She was like you have to stop being my mom like even when mom was around you have to stop being my mom I relate to Nora so much in that way because I'm the oldest of four kids and I was the parent you know, so that yeah like me and Nora I like the same on that
- 8:38[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
- 8:39[SPEAKER_00]: I think I think I related to Nora in a sense of like What I'm required to do and I don't know.
- 8:46[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like how to explain it that way, but I see it.
- 8:49[SPEAKER_00]: It would definitely like
- 8:51[SPEAKER_00]: not like funny story and not like now it was kind of the same vibe as the great big beautiful this great big beautiful life um in terms of just like the development of the characters because I do think Emily Henry writes character up really well absolutely and how she she doesn't just like skim over like who these people are in these books
- 9:10[SPEAKER_00]: she does a really good job of going through their falls and like what makes them who they are.
- 9:16[SPEAKER_00]: And she gives a really good backstory.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_00]: And it was kind of interesting like how they were editors and getting to see that whole writing process of like when should this happen and like should we find this stuff out now or later.
- 9:29[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like I feel like that's exactly what they do with their books, which I thought was kind of cool.
- 9:32[SPEAKER_01]: see I feel like a lot of people might not write this one as high or like this one as much of the Emily Henry books because it's so relatable.
- 9:45[SPEAKER_01]: It's not like a book like in a skate book.
- 9:48[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
- 9:49[SPEAKER_00]: I mean yes.
- 9:49[SPEAKER_01]: Like you might actually like this is like an actual real life like
- 9:55[SPEAKER_01]: situation that happened.
- 9:57[SPEAKER_01]: And so that might like that might be why I didn't write it.
- 10:01[SPEAKER_01]: But like, I can see where it's that that it's not everybody's favorite.
- 10:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's fair.
- 10:08[SPEAKER_00]: I also said that this book is for you.
- 10:10[SPEAKER_00]: If you like continue ascending between the FMC and the MC and the moment that you think that something is going to happen, they immediately change their minds.
- 10:19[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like,
- 10:20[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yep, that was so infuriating, so infuriating.
- 10:24[SPEAKER_01]: These lowest slimmer.
- 10:25[SPEAKER_01]: It was so good.
- 10:27[SPEAKER_00]: It was so good.
- 10:28[SPEAKER_00]: What's in here?
- 10:29[SPEAKER_00]: It was so good.
- 10:29[SPEAKER_00]: It was Charlie.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_01]: Talk to you.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_01]: That shows.
- 10:34[SPEAKER_00]: I love good.
- 10:34[SPEAKER_00]: He was something good.
- 10:35[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I liked him the first time around.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_00]: Really?
- 10:38[SPEAKER_01]: But also, I read this book like two years ago for the first time.
- 10:41[SPEAKER_01]: Like, but I'm happy I re-read it, you know?
- 10:43[SPEAKER_01]: Because I definitely like it a lot more
- 10:46[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay, that's good.
- 10:47[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and you're probably a different reader than you were.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
- 10:50[SPEAKER_01]: Well, like, I like more contemporary, like I like romcom more.
- 10:56[SPEAKER_01]: I'm getting more into contemporary romances.
- 11:00[SPEAKER_01]: What did you put for the spy scale?
- 11:02[SPEAKER_00]: I gave it a two.
- 11:03[SPEAKER_00]: I got a one.
- 11:04[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 11:04[SPEAKER_00]: It was not spicy.
- 11:06[SPEAKER_00]: It really wasn't spicy.
- 11:07[SPEAKER_00]: I guess like when I think spicy level, I also think of like
- 11:10[SPEAKER_00]: How and up they describe things so I think that's what bumped it out for me because it literally didn't happen But what three time one time two or three.
- 11:18[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was like and it was after 80% of the book Right, so nothing crazy.
- 11:23[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I didn't think it was that spicy.
- 11:25[SPEAKER_01]: No, I didn't either now it's time for the vibe check
- 11:30[SPEAKER_00]: Should we have a jingle for everything?
- 11:34[SPEAKER_00]: Everything.
- 11:35[SPEAKER_01]: One, two, three.
- 11:36[SPEAKER_00]: Bye, check.
- 11:38[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
- 11:38[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 11:40[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
- 11:40[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what it sounds like coming out on your end.
- 11:42[SPEAKER_01]: But it's not hard and that was great.
- 11:44[SPEAKER_01]: All right, emotional damage.
- 11:48[SPEAKER_01]: I said, I have no emotional damage toward this, honestly.
- 11:51[SPEAKER_01]: Like, okay.
- 11:53[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe because I was separated and I blacked out everything from like the past I have no emotional damage because I don't feel any more toward the situation.
- 12:03[SPEAKER_01]: She's like I have developed.
- 12:05[SPEAKER_00]: I know my feelings I'm fine.
- 12:07[SPEAKER_00]: I'm numb to this situation.
- 12:09[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know something like.
- 12:11[SPEAKER_00]: postil triggering me and that it was the chapter where they were just kind of airing everything out and um the part where she's like
- 12:25[SPEAKER_00]: She said, I am Heathcliff, that whole chapter I was crying because I was like, this is just good.
- 12:31[SPEAKER_00]: I just like feeling where you're like, I'm not going to be able to do like what I want to do to put others first and like just feeling kind of back burner.
- 12:41[SPEAKER_00]: That is so relatable to me and just things that I've had to go experience like in jobs and whatever, like I just like was like, she's giving up what she wants.
- 12:51[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know, like that part, I just read that.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, okay, I'm crying.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is so good.
- 12:59[SPEAKER_01]: It should have probably felt more emotion toward this.
- 13:02[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's fine.
- 13:04[SPEAKER_01]: We have blocked out past traumas on this end.
- 13:07[SPEAKER_01]: So that's probably why I did, so I just searched through that therapy bed off.
- 13:14[SPEAKER_01]: No comment.
- 13:17[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, kicking feet and giggling, I said the banter was a ten out of ten and had me in giggling the whole the whole time, like, and just how just right off the bat the way it was, I, yeah, it was a really good.
- 13:30[SPEAKER_01]: Nora may have been bland and been alone.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_01]: And the beginning, but her witty banter was perfection.
- 13:38[SPEAKER_00]: And like they brought it out of each other and I loved it.
- 13:41[SPEAKER_00]: I loved it.
- 13:42[SPEAKER_01]: uh... therapist meant i said they need therapy both of them a hundred she needed to be in therapy a long time ago she did not ever especially without a speaker we don't need anything so she can tell us that we need that
- 13:58[SPEAKER_00]: moral of the story, honestly, because it talks about Libby being in therapy, but it never talks about nori being in therapy after what happened with her mom and processing everything that happened.
- 14:08[SPEAKER_00]: I will say the moment that it was talking about like the whole story with
- 14:13[SPEAKER_00]: the mom and how she was out of touch.
- 14:15[SPEAKER_00]: I had that same experience with my grandfather who I absolutely adored.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_00]: He was going really downhill with cancer and I decided to go see my friend from college and Asheville that weekend and I was supposed to go and stop by their house on the way out of town but I was late and so I was like I'll just come and see you when I get back.
- 14:34[SPEAKER_00]: Literally the next morning.
- 14:36[SPEAKER_00]: I got the phone call that he had passed.
- 14:37[SPEAKER_00]: I'm warning and so I was like, okay, rip my heart out just like I've been with me in my grandma.
- 14:44[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, yeah, it's too relatable.
- 14:46[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because I had been meaning to, but she lived eight hours.
- 14:51[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I'd been meaning to visit her in Kentucky and then, um,
- 14:57[SPEAKER_01]: I just never made it because life and she passed away unexpectedly and I sleep, you know, like out of nowhere and I didn't know can't cancel my bachelor at trip to have her funeral.
- 15:11[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, it's stuff like that though, honestly like I will feel guilty about if I have plans to go do something and not follow through on it, like I feel guilty about it.
- 15:22[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so obviously there was some emotional damage inflicted.
- 15:26[SPEAKER_00]: that apparently we're on packing right now.
- 15:30[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, I really, it was a little higher on this one.
- 15:33[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, this is intense guys.
- 15:35[SPEAKER_00]: It was intense.
- 15:36[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, wow.
- 15:38[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, Lily.
- 15:38[SPEAKER_01]: Henry, um, on a blushing and public rose.
- 15:43[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to zero.
- 15:44[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe run on zero.
- 15:45[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really think it was very like, no, because there was not really much spice in.
- 15:50[SPEAKER_00]: I would have been blushing had I been to the library.
- 15:54[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like that was wild.
- 15:55[SPEAKER_01]: I was very hurt, but absolutely what I survived dating this person.
- 16:01[SPEAKER_01]: I said no, he is too intense for me.
- 16:04[SPEAKER_01]: He would 10 out of 10 hurt my feelings.
- 16:08[SPEAKER_00]: I think that on the opposite end, if I
- 16:13[SPEAKER_00]: Dated him.
- 16:14[SPEAKER_00]: We wouldn't know where to draw the line and it might actually hurt somebody's feelings like we might say things that cannot be taken back and I do this with my middle school is like we we push back and forth and joke around and so then I'm like, okay, we're about to cross the line where we're about to hurt each other's feelings.
- 16:28[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we do that, but it's my feelings I get hurt and I come in here and I'm just crying in the shower and brain is like, what's wrong and I'm like, you heard my feelings.
- 16:40[SPEAKER_01]: I can say it, but you cannot say it.
- 16:43[SPEAKER_00]: So I also imparted me because I'm just on a level that I didn't relate with Nora was the whole.
- 16:49[SPEAKER_00]: career before family type thing.
- 16:51[SPEAKER_00]: Like realistically, I don't think I would have been what Charlie because I would have won a kid's.
- 16:55[SPEAKER_00]: And him by himself and Tastic, but when you think like long term, I don't think I would have matched well.
- 17:01[SPEAKER_01]: Mainly he would have just hurt my feeling.
- 17:02[SPEAKER_00]: I think we would have been too similar.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 17:05[SPEAKER_00]: Way too similar.
- 17:06[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, now's time for one of my favorite portions of this new book club character.
- 17:10[SPEAKER_01]: Nora's character award is most likely to
- 17:18[SPEAKER_01]: had she treats feelings like emails, flagged for later than never.
- 17:22[SPEAKER_00]: She's 100% this could have been sent an email kind of girl.
- 17:25[SPEAKER_01]: Like, literally, like, oh, we're breaking up.
- 17:28[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, you could have sent that email.
- 17:30[SPEAKER_00]: Made me laugh so hard in the beginning.
- 17:32[SPEAKER_00]: She was like,
- 17:33[SPEAKER_00]: What did I think about when she was talking about how she couldn't cry?
- 17:37[SPEAKER_00]: What movie is that where she literally keeps trying to make herself cry?
- 17:43[SPEAKER_00]: And she can't cry until something like tragic, not tragic like that, but like love tragic happens.
- 17:49[SPEAKER_00]: Because that was immediately the movie that popped into my head.
- 17:52[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I've ever seen that movie, but if you've ever seen that movie, please comment below because I haven't.
- 17:56[SPEAKER_01]: No idea what McKinsey is talking about.
- 17:58[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna have to look that up later.
- 18:02[SPEAKER_00]: She's she's most likely to like end up alone because she can't read the room and she can't filter her home feeling so if she didn't go to therapy.
- 18:10[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
- 18:11[SPEAKER_01]: She needed therapy a long time ago.
- 18:13[SPEAKER_00]: Most likely to be taller than her date.
- 18:15[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my gosh.
- 18:17[SPEAKER_01]: I have something about that coil later.
- 18:19[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, gosh.
- 18:20[SPEAKER_01]: Um, okay.
- 18:22[SPEAKER_01]: Charlie is most likely to flirt like it's a competitive sport and arguing is foreplay to him.
- 18:28[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, a hundred percent, which is not for me.
- 18:33[SPEAKER_01]: Again, no.
- 18:34[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely not.
- 18:35[SPEAKER_01]: You are you with me.
- 18:36[SPEAKER_01]: I'm done with like, bye.
- 18:38[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
- 18:39[SPEAKER_00]: But I love reading it.
- 18:40[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah.
- 18:41[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
- 18:42[SPEAKER_00]: They're about to cut each other's threads and they're not.
- 18:44[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely love.
- 18:45[SPEAKER_01]: When I'm reading, I'm over in the corner like Jerry, Jerry, you know like that's it in my head, but don't want it.
- 18:52[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want it.
- 18:54[SPEAKER_01]: Libby most likely to orchestrate and entire plot and pretend it was an accident.
- 19:01[SPEAKER_01]: Like, man, just a small town trip might be behind.
- 19:05[SPEAKER_01]: Just a small town trip because I know you read about this place and I really read about this place and I liked it.
- 19:11[SPEAKER_01]: No, ma'am.
- 19:12[SPEAKER_00]: most likely to be the villain in every story.
- 19:15[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because she was the problem.
- 19:18[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if she was the problem.
- 19:19[SPEAKER_01]: I think for the trip she was the problem.
- 19:22[SPEAKER_00]: Most likely to hold all of your secrets and not tell you what's actually going on in your life.
- 19:26[SPEAKER_01]: Right, that whole entire, it was like a big...
- 19:29[SPEAKER_01]: miscommunication trope with the sisters, and it was just getting ill.
- 19:34[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, more a shame, something to your sister.
- 19:37[SPEAKER_01]: You know, she reminds me of my little sister a little bit, not going to bring me, I'm sorry.
- 19:41[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
- 19:44[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
- 19:46[SPEAKER_01]: Love you, mean it.
- 19:47[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh, that's so funny.
- 19:49[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, if you have siblings relatable, we're about to get into dramatic scenes.
- 19:54[SPEAKER_00]: All right, ready?
- 19:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, dramatic scene theater.
- 20:02[SPEAKER_00]: It was giving me Nickelodeon.
- 20:04[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, that's where my mind worked.
- 20:07[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, we'll work on that for you.
- 20:08[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that'll be next time.
- 20:09[SPEAKER_01]: The most cringe scene.
- 20:11[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't have one.
- 20:12[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think anything was super cheesy.
- 20:19[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have a personal window against the word city.
- 20:22[SPEAKER_00]: I just really have a problem.
- 20:23[SPEAKER_00]: That's at the top of my list of things that I refuse to allow channeled to be called if she is a playing.
- 20:27[SPEAKER_01]: The most feral scene is when he said, you, I think, undo me.
- 20:33[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, love or the editing scene.
- 20:39[SPEAKER_00]: Loved out.
- 20:41[SPEAKER_00]: I loved that.
- 20:43[SPEAKER_00]: I loved the library scene.
- 20:46[SPEAKER_00]: When she, when he was like, oh, no, we can 100% do those in here.
- 20:49[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, wait, what?
- 20:50[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we just publicly can do some say, please don't.
- 20:53[SPEAKER_01]: No, no.
- 20:54[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 20:55[SPEAKER_01]: Her clothes weren't all.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_01]: No, I wasn't.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_00]: That was like, well, that's a beer roll.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, I'm here for it.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: I'm here for it.
- 21:03[SPEAKER_01]: I'm here for it.
- 21:04[SPEAKER_01]: The I'm sat for him, scene.
- 21:07[SPEAKER_01]: Um, when he goes, maybe I'd just say the right thing for you whenever they were talking just like, yeah, always know the right thing to say and he's like, maybe I just know the right thing to say for you.
- 21:17[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, this man's like, one liner is where oh, perfect.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_00]: So good.
- 21:23[SPEAKER_00]: Um, mine was until you got here.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_00]: All this place had it, but it was a reminder of the ways I was a disappointment and now you're here and I don't know.
- 21:31[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I'm okay.
- 21:32[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're the wrong kind of woman, then I'm the wrong kind of man.
- 21:37[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I love him, and you know, all right, man.
- 21:41[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I love it.
- 21:43[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, okay, it looks like the clock it's seen.
- 21:48[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, when when Nora finally was like you are still holding things back for me like.
- 21:56[SPEAKER_00]: What are you lying about?
- 21:57[SPEAKER_00]: And then when she was like Brendan got a job in Asheville.
- 22:01[SPEAKER_00]: I that actually shocked me.
- 22:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I so I knew I was like somehow Libby is going to end up in Asheville.
- 22:07[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm just getting that vibe or whatever.
- 22:08[SPEAKER_01]: I knew that at the whole time from reading it before.
- 22:11[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, you know, like I knew what happened.
- 22:14[SPEAKER_01]: Like as I read that played out more, but I couldn't remember what happened like how it's like
- 22:20[SPEAKER_00]: That part was predictable.
- 22:21[SPEAKER_00]: What wasn't predictable was Charlie having to say back.
- 22:24[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 22:25[SPEAKER_00]: And that was like, oh, crap, I didn't know that was going to happen.
- 22:27[SPEAKER_00]: But her having to say back, I predict yeah.
- 22:31[SPEAKER_01]: My clock it.
- 22:34[SPEAKER_01]: was when they were on the date.
- 22:36[SPEAKER_01]: And she was talking about how the douche can do said that she was too tall.
- 22:41[SPEAKER_01]: She was like, well, there isn't a two tall for a man.
- 22:44[SPEAKER_01]: And Charlie said there isn't for women either.
- 22:46[SPEAKER_01]: There's just tall women and the men to insecure to date them.
- 22:49[SPEAKER_01]: And it was like, oh, sir.
- 22:52[SPEAKER_01]: Got you, sir.
- 22:53[SPEAKER_01]: I'm five foot four, but sir.
- 22:56[SPEAKER_01]: I'm five at 10.
- 22:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, thank you, Charlie.
- 22:59[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm a whole six-year-old.
- 23:01[SPEAKER_01]: I'm five at four of it clock-haker.
- 23:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 23:04[SPEAKER_00]: I love you standing up for Tolker.
- 23:06[SPEAKER_00]: It's probably going to be like that.
- 23:07[SPEAKER_00]: Golden retriever scene.
- 23:08[SPEAKER_00]: I said Charlie is a whole black cat.
- 23:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was like that.
- 23:11[SPEAKER_00]: It was like that.
- 23:12[SPEAKER_00]: But is the Golden retriever and she did not need him?
- 23:14[SPEAKER_01]: But though, here's a formal twist.
- 23:16[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get your opinion on it.
- 23:18[SPEAKER_01]: Is he secretly a golden retriever and private?
- 23:21[SPEAKER_01]: And his public pool is the black hat.
- 23:25[SPEAKER_00]: 100%.
- 23:27[SPEAKER_01]: because he is like soft when he needs to be his loyal.
- 23:32[SPEAKER_01]: He follows him around.
- 23:34[SPEAKER_01]: And it's like closet golden retrieves a closet.
- 23:39[SPEAKER_01]: But like on the outside, he's a black.
- 23:41[SPEAKER_00]: No, hunter person.
- 23:42[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's a black hat thrown through.
- 23:44[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he is a little bit of a golden.
- 23:46[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he died too.
- 23:47[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's why it works.
- 23:48[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, after her, a hunter person.
- 23:50[SPEAKER_00]: I think
- 23:51[SPEAKER_01]: think that's why it works.
- 23:53[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like reading through my things.
- 23:54[SPEAKER_00]: Can I please tell you?
- 23:56[SPEAKER_00]: No, please do.
- 23:56[SPEAKER_00]: Wait, is there the thing about the one liners?
- 23:59[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 23:59[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I'm a hold of.
- 24:00[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 24:00[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a hold of red flag, but make it fiction.
- 24:04[SPEAKER_01]: What would we, what wouldn't we tolerate in real life, but we would
- 24:09[SPEAKER_01]: in the book.
- 24:10[SPEAKER_01]: I said both they're attitude, which oh 100%.
- 24:13[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 24:14[SPEAKER_00]: I was about to even mention Libby.
- 24:15[SPEAKER_00]: Like the whole situation and how she was behaving like I would not tolerate that.
- 24:21[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely not.
- 24:23[SPEAKER_01]: Um, rom-com movie moment.
- 24:25[SPEAKER_01]: I said obviously the ending, I choose you moment the shows up at the book store on her mom's birthday.
- 24:33[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
- 24:33[SPEAKER_00]: At the moment that I was like,
- 24:35[SPEAKER_00]: When it says she was going into the book store and I was like in Libby called her.
- 24:39[SPEAKER_00]: I said Charlie is going to be there.
- 24:40[SPEAKER_01]: Charlie is going to be immediately Charlie is going to be there and I was like, I was so excited that they got like I knew it's going to happen.
- 24:46[SPEAKER_01]: But also excited and they got their happy ending because it was like, man, it took forever to get here.
- 24:51[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and that was such a good rom-com moment.
- 24:57[SPEAKER_00]: Why?
- 25:00[SPEAKER_00]: um favorite line from the book you go okay have a few sorry look I bet we have the same one okay this actually is more than one line but this gave Taylor Swift all the way the you can afford to be all surley and sharp and people will admire you for it the rules are different for women you have to strike this perfect balance to be taken seriously but not seen as for your children in the car be at TCH why
- 25:26[SPEAKER_00]: So, um, I was like, you know what, I immediately, if I was the man, like, that's email.
- 25:32[SPEAKER_00]: And I loved that because there is a note, there is a double standard for women in certain fields and like how we are and how we are perceived and the standard that we're supposed to me is very different than men.
- 25:45[SPEAKER_00]: And I loved that because I feel like in the editing world, it is probably a men driven career.
- 25:51[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 25:52[SPEAKER_00]: I think higher things are men driving careers correct and more on the comedic side
- 25:59[SPEAKER_01]: So I love the Wendy city series because, yes, especially the books you're about to get into, they're all about women and sports and some like that.
- 26:09[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, love that because you don't see a lot of it.
- 26:11[SPEAKER_00]: And I really think since like, I don't know more has like made it big with a rug.
- 26:16[SPEAKER_00]: Really adore her.
- 26:17[SPEAKER_00]: I love her.
- 26:18[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm loving this.
- 26:18[SPEAKER_00]: She's on book talk obsessed.
- 26:20[SPEAKER_00]: We love you.
- 26:21[SPEAKER_01]: That interview she did with Rachel Gilly.
- 26:24[SPEAKER_00]: So jealous.
- 26:26[SPEAKER_00]: me that was so good like she on the Olympic stage made such a headband for females in sports and I feel like her being so active on social media and two body image for females a true true because like we're like you're supposed to fit into the standard of what she's like absolutely not this is what I look like and I'm like yeah girl this is what I look like to work
- 26:51[SPEAKER_00]: and agreed.
- 26:53[SPEAKER_00]: But on the funnier side, nothing more intimidating than a forehead.
- 26:56[SPEAKER_00]: That's sent me.
- 26:58[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, that is the funniest thing.
- 27:00[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I could not stop laughing at that.
- 27:03[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, mine is this just relates like resonates with me.
- 27:09[SPEAKER_01]: This one.
- 27:10[SPEAKER_01]: And you'll know why once I start reading it because I do this and I'm learning I'm more and more north-hoded.
- 27:17[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes even when you start with the last page and you think you know everything.
- 27:21[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 27:22[SPEAKER_01]: A book finds a way to surprise you because I read the last page of a book all the time.
- 27:29[SPEAKER_00]: Frequently and then we'll Google the ending of a series.
- 27:32[SPEAKER_00]: Sure will.
- 27:34[SPEAKER_01]: But sometimes I actually said a book finds a way to surprise you.
- 27:39[SPEAKER_00]: It does.
- 27:40[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, sometimes I've tried to read the last page and then I'm like, I don't even know what those things are.
- 27:43[SPEAKER_01]: I read the last page of Brimstone.
- 27:46[SPEAKER_00]: Do you probably were like what the heck is that?
- 27:48[SPEAKER_00]: I guess what the last page literally has nothing to do with them.
- 27:50[SPEAKER_01]: It makes no sense.
- 27:51[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't.
- 27:52[SPEAKER_00]: It does.
- 27:52[SPEAKER_01]: It surprised me.
- 27:53[SPEAKER_00]: I wish I had to read the last page because then I would have been more interested in third book.
- 27:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 27:58[SPEAKER_00]: We're not here to bash it though.
- 28:00[SPEAKER_01]: You can go listen to our first time in a whole episode or not.
- 28:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, um hot take or T-sville Okay, Charlie is the real main character Nora just thinks she is I Charlie can make us anyone of my books absolutely I think Nora just needed to get all of her attention out But it's the real reason is Charlie for sure
- 28:28[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, this is not enemies to lovers.
- 28:31[SPEAKER_01]: It's too emotionally intelligent, adults pretending to be enemies because flirting is scary.
- 28:35[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, a hundred percent.
- 28:37[SPEAKER_00]: Who literally refuse to acknowledge their feelings for each other?
- 28:40[SPEAKER_00]: Because what if we actually get a happy ending?
- 28:43[SPEAKER_00]: And that's a horrible thing.
- 28:45[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, a hundred percent.
- 28:46[SPEAKER_01]: What if we put ourselves out here?
- 28:49[SPEAKER_01]: And it doesn't work out.
- 28:50[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.
- 28:51[SPEAKER_00]: All right, it's more afraid of being chosen to be alone.
- 28:55[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm.
- 28:55[SPEAKER_01]: It's a difficult one.
- 28:56[SPEAKER_00]: That is difficult.
- 28:58[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, she realized that she didn't want to be alone.
- 29:02[SPEAKER_00]: She always said she did, but like, she'd never had someone treat her the same the way that Charlie did it.
- 29:08[SPEAKER_01]: And also, she never thought she was enough and she was right.
- 29:12[SPEAKER_01]: So I could see, I don't know.
- 29:14[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of think it's both, like she was afraid to be chosen and afraid to be alone.
- 29:19[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I could see that.
- 29:20[SPEAKER_01]: the third act conflict is realistic and that is why people don't like it.
- 29:24[SPEAKER_01]: That's when I said earlier.
- 29:25[SPEAKER_01]: And yes.
- 29:26[SPEAKER_00]: No agree.
- 29:27[SPEAKER_00]: But I could have like reading that stuff like that's like legitimate.
- 29:31[SPEAKER_00]: It's not some petty breakup.
- 29:33[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's like he has to stay behind and take care of the bookstore.
- 29:38[SPEAKER_00]: And she doesn't want to leave.
- 29:39[SPEAKER_00]: Though Charlie is Loki, the softest book boyfriend, him, his written, him, his written.
- 29:46[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna say that.
- 29:47[SPEAKER_00]: You have, I haven't read all of them, but out of the ones I've read, he definitely is not as sheltered with his feelings and what he thinks, like the other guys are more of the like masculine, like I don't want to share my feelings kind of people, but I could see that.
- 30:06[SPEAKER_01]: I think the only other one I would contend with this is Gus, which is be trade, be trade.
- 30:15[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, but you haven't had it yet.
- 30:16[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
- 30:17[SPEAKER_01]: I would say Gus might contend with this.
- 30:20[SPEAKER_00]: It's all my list.
- 30:20[SPEAKER_00]: It might be my summer to be on.
- 30:22[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that thing.
- 30:22[SPEAKER_01]: That's a very good summer to be on.
- 30:24[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm going to do.
- 30:26[SPEAKER_01]: If this book was written in Charlie's POV, it would be a top tier yearning novel.
- 30:29[SPEAKER_00]: A hundred give me Charlie POV chapters.
- 30:34[SPEAKER_00]: Please begging you because I just want to know what this man is thinking for sure.
- 30:41[SPEAKER_00]: because just the way like in the scenes where like the tension was building and like the way that he was talking to her, I was just like, give me more.
- 30:50[SPEAKER_00]: Sir.
- 30:52[SPEAKER_01]: to be coming in here and terrorizing everything.
- 30:54[SPEAKER_01]: He's not going to be a toy.
- 30:56[SPEAKER_01]: OK. All of the M in men you have read, what is your rate?
- 31:05[SPEAKER_00]: OK, so I've read.
- 31:06[SPEAKER_00]: Grapey Beautiful Live.
- 31:07[SPEAKER_00]: Funny story.
- 31:07[SPEAKER_00]: Grapey Beautiful Live we said was who that is Hayden.
- 31:12[SPEAKER_00]: And then funny story is Miles.
- 31:14[SPEAKER_00]: And then booklovers is Charlie.
- 31:17[SPEAKER_00]: I would say it's Miles Charlie Hayden.
- 31:21[SPEAKER_01]: I would agree.
- 31:22[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 31:22[SPEAKER_01]: I would agree with that.
- 31:23[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 31:24[SPEAKER_00]: I still love it.
- 31:25[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, Gus and Miles.
- 31:29[SPEAKER_00]: Are they similar or no, okay, you just like them by the cream.
- 31:34[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't think I I didn't like people.
- 31:36[SPEAKER_01]: We made a vacation So well first of the ring first time happy place happy place.
- 31:41[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't like happy Oh, so you've read it.

- 32:07[SPEAKER_01]: I loved it.
- 32:08[SPEAKER_00]: I am so glad she finally read it.
- 32:10[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought it was wild.
- 32:16[SPEAKER_00]: It was kind of a crazy ride.
- 32:17[SPEAKER_01]: It was an emotional roller coaster is what it was and it was nothing like binding 13 new.
- 32:23[SPEAKER_01]: And I want to read the rest.
- 32:25[SPEAKER_00]: I do too, I do too.
- 32:27[SPEAKER_00]: It Megan Brandy love love it.
- 32:31[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I was just not ready for the emotional roller coaster that I was going to go on.
- 32:36[SPEAKER_00]: But like I continuously say, like, such a good cry.
- 32:39[SPEAKER_00]: And I know that sounds so contradictory, but like, you know what I mean?
- 32:44[SPEAKER_00]: Like sometimes you just want to cry and you're just like, ugh.
- 32:48[SPEAKER_01]: It was, like, there was like four plot twists in that book.
- 32:51[SPEAKER_01]: It was like, I can't true.
- 32:53[SPEAKER_01]: Bam, bam, bam, bam.
- 32:54[SPEAKER_01]: Like it was never boring.
- 32:56[SPEAKER_00]: Just said, yeah, no, bam.
- 32:57[SPEAKER_01]: BAM!
- 32:58[SPEAKER_00]: So my T-R-R-Pull is cheat sheet by Sarah Adams.
- 33:01[SPEAKER_00]: I had not read anything and I have any of my finished oral theories, but I have not read anything outside the wrong series.
- 33:08[SPEAKER_00]: And this was the first one and I will say a text of Kaylee, like that.
- 33:15[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I wasn't halfway through.
- 33:17[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even remember.
- 33:18[SPEAKER_00]: And I was just like, I don't like that.
- 33:20[SPEAKER_00]: I'm seeing.
- 33:21[SPEAKER_00]: I think she was okay.
- 33:22[SPEAKER_00]: She and I was listening to it.
- 33:23[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know if it was just like I was picking.
- 33:25[SPEAKER_00]: I was getting it from vibe in like her way.
- 33:28[SPEAKER_00]: She was talking.
- 33:28[SPEAKER_00]: I loved the M.M.C.
- 33:32[SPEAKER_00]: Nathan.
- 33:32[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 33:33[SPEAKER_00]: And loved him from the start.
- 33:35[SPEAKER_00]: Like he was pining after this girl.
- 33:37[SPEAKER_00]: And she was pining after him.
- 33:38[SPEAKER_00]: But like, I liked the dual P.A.V.
- 33:41[SPEAKER_00]: But it was good.
- 33:42[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely liked the Rome series better.
- 33:44[SPEAKER_00]: I think you'll like the second one of that book better in that series in most of them like dualities.
- 33:50[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, okay.
- 33:51[SPEAKER_01]: I would prefer some of her like that.
- 33:54[SPEAKER_01]: I think is my least favorite duality.

- 34:16[SPEAKER_01]: So from when I first started reading this.
- 34:19[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
- 34:20[SPEAKER_01]: Those are her oldest ones, but the cheat sheet was fine.
- 34:24[SPEAKER_00]: Like it was good if you're just looking for like a quick football romance.
- 34:28[SPEAKER_00]: So quick.
- 34:29[SPEAKER_00]: I think I listened to it in three days.
- 34:30[SPEAKER_00]: It just has had a lot of time and I mean it like I put it on like 1.5 speed and I made it through.
- 34:35[SPEAKER_01]: But I do like the second one in this series.
