0:09
book, so morning. There will be spoilers.
0:25
I'm Carla and she leans in even closer.
0:29
I hear they smoke the weed. I'm Emily.
0:34
We don't want to let the wolf get a whiff.
0:39
Before we get into the intense, chaotic energy that is Flock by
0:43
Kate Stewart, we've got a quick favour to ask.

second to leave us a five star review on whatever platform
0:56

0:58
let's get into a flock. Flock, let's get into it.
1:05
Let's get into it. Dude, why was I thinking of
1:08
sheep? I thought this was going to be
1:09
some beastiality shit. Why is that your first?
1:13
Why Yeah, why did you pick up then?
1:17
I'm sure right into that one. Actually should be there.
1:20
The only thing I knew about this was that I was like romancey and
1:23
I didn't know there was 2 males. I didn't know anything but the
1:27
cover. And why did I think she?
1:29
She with the bird. I thought they were out in the
1:31
field. I don't know.
1:33
I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
1:35
The flock, but I don't know. This book took so many turns,
1:39
but also none. It was really hard to read hey.
1:45
Oh, it was a struggle, eh eh? So, Australian today, What
1:48
happened? ARC?
1:50
Let's go to our trigger warnings.
1:55
It was very hard to find trigger warnings on this book.
1:59
Trigger Warning Database provided me with two, and I
2:03
thought, surely not babes, Surely you jest.
2:06
Surely. Because there's no way, not a
2:09
lie. None of these books have ever
2:11
read has only had two recreational drug use, AKA the
2:15
weed, right? Yeah.
2:17
And cancer. What?
2:20
Oh, Dolphin. But like surely?
2:22
This I'm like absent father a Dick addict, mom Dick a Dick.
2:29
Dicks. Multiple Dicks.
2:30
Multiple Dicks. Double penetration Dicks.
2:33
Fuck boys. Double Dick down.
2:37
Double dog Dick down. Lipstick Pygmyism.
2:44
Yeah, we're. Just just stock standing.
2:46
Garages. What?
2:53
Oh, no AC? Nepotism.
2:55
Nappo Baby. Not even real good nepotism.
2:59
Tacky tattoos pools. OK, that's.
3:04
Hiking. Wait, what's that hiking?
3:11
OK, can we start with the prologue?
3:13
Because what the fuck was that? What was that?
3:16
That when I was listening to it, because, you know, multitasking,
3:20
I was like, do I want to? Listen to that rest.
3:23
And then I was confused because it she was like 26 and then it
3:26
was 19 after. It made me even more confused.
3:29
Yeah, why are you like that at 26?
3:32
Why are you thinking about some man salty cum?
3:37
Why do you miss it? Like what's so special?
3:39
She's like I missed his nipples in the sunlight.
3:42
Calm down, there's other nipples out there.
3:44
I. Know it's giving Edward Cullen
3:47
nipples in the sunlight. And now I know it's not even
3:51
about then. For what reason?
3:56
Even more like there's no reason.
3:58
Why did I spell it wrong? Because it's Cecilia?
4:00
Isn't it Cecilia? Why have I got Celia, like,
4:06
celiac disease, Like, it literally.
4:08
I just didn't even write it correctly.
4:11
Anyway, CC Cecil is 18, but she's nearly 19.
4:16
Two weeks, two weeks away. She's a girly pop with daddy
4:20
issues. She has to work at daddy's
4:23
company free. Yeah.
4:26
Why did she, like, scream it out to the whole orientation?
4:30
Like calm down. Like you care about being
4:34
targeted, but you're the one being like, my daddy owns the
4:38
company. She's like in her orientation,
4:40
full of old people just wanting to work, provide for the family.
4:43
And she's like, you know what? I am the boss's daughter and I
4:46
won't snitch if you'd be fucking.
4:48
I know what? Why did she think that was the
4:50
inside track to getting friends? These people are not worried
4:54
about fucking right now, Yeah. Hello.
4:57
I would have not said my last name.
4:58
I'd just been like, I'm Cecilia. I'm here to I'm here to do
5:02
calculators. I'm here to fuck it up.
5:04
Fuck. It up, fuck it up.
5:06
I'm here to whip the lion. What was the purpose of that?
5:09
I just don't even and. Then she was like, I hope no one
5:11
knows. Oh my God, you weren't about it
5:16
the wrong. Way.
5:17
You wouldn't just. See him with.
5:19
Those. But you would have been some
5:22
unassuming intern. No one would have given a fuck.
5:24
Yeah, but she has to do it. But she otherwise she won't get
5:28
her inheritance. So everyone hates her dad.
5:35
Like they don't even hide that. Shit, he literally is
5:37
underpaining. Underpaining them Actual.
5:41
Fair Work would be getting called off the hook if this was
5:43
in Australia. Yeah, but like, stop
5:50
immediately. Sean is next, our main male
5:55
main. Character is next.
5:56
You know what? There was a reason for that
5:58
millennial pause, Because we had to, like, grasp reality for a
6:01
second. But why did he just pop out of
6:03
thin air? He's like, also I, he's like,
6:06
also I wouldn't mind fucking. But.
6:11
The way this is just a romance but it gives fantasy.
6:14
She's like a hot hot man. Not the hottest I've ever seen.
6:18
So he's not the true love ever. Trust.
6:20
But can we just pretend that he didn't just hear the CEO is my
6:25
daddy and just like went right to her?
6:27
Like, that's us. It is SUS.
6:30
Read the room, bitch. I know it's like what?
6:33
Every minute of this book I am cringing and I'm like, but then
6:36
I'm like, she's 18. It makes sense.
6:39
I was like, is it writing or is she 18?
6:42
Can we talk about how we are 5 seconds into the book?
6:45
Horrible. How many times do I already have
6:48
to hear about apple cider being potent car?
6:52
Also I never, I never ever again in my life want to live through
6:59
someone getting drunk at a party for the first time or smoking
7:03
pot. Oh, I never want to do it again.
7:05
Terrible. Stop.
7:07
Stop it, I couldn't cope. The second hand embarrassment.
7:10
I'm like stop. And then when she started
7:12
speaking like a pirate. Are you kidding?
7:16
Sorry. But it's like, oh, I'm just a
7:20
little goyle. I can't drink real beers.
7:23
I've gotta drink chick beers. I'm I'm.
7:26
Not like other girls. Also, if you know you're
7:29
stumbling after the first one, stop bitch, stop.
7:32
You're at a party. Gather yourself.
7:34
It's like actually get drunk. There's fifty men in here, 3
7:38
girls. Also Sean speaking at any time
7:41
was icky. Why does when he speak he sounds
7:46
like when a guy gets drunk and they're like, we're just falling
7:49
in love in under the stars and the moon and we're meant to be
7:52
together for life. It's our destiny.
7:55
He would switch between that and like 38 year old conspiracy
7:58
theorist who's blogging 24/7. I.
8:00
Know pick a line. Yeah, what?
8:03
What's going on? Barry the fuck boy or you're
8:05
not. Yeah, are you 16 year old
8:08
lustful Romeo type or are you full blown deep deep, deep in a
8:14
Reddit conspiracy hall? Like where are you?
8:16
I just. Don't understand.
8:18
He would go on like this big speech about something and he'd
8:21
be like. Okay bro, but like.
8:25
Chill out big one. I love though how in these kind
8:29
of books there's the 18 year old female that's how main character
8:34
and just sounded like the first man she's ever met in real life
8:38
and he happened to have tattoos. She literally lost her whole
8:41
bananas and decided he was her soul mate.
8:44
Bitch, have you not seen tattoos in real life?
8:46
Her clip was on her forehead at that point.
8:48
Where where did she grow up in a cage?
8:52
Like what is going on? It's giving.
8:55
Grew up in a cage and was really schooled.
9:00
She was just that shy girl at parties, she had to look after
9:05
her mum. Not the immediate nickname of
9:07
Pop. Also I didn't mind it at the
9:11
same time. But also horrific.
9:13
He literally just blurted it out one day.
9:15
He decided she was a child. But he was giving 38.
9:20
But also he. Was 26 Well.
9:24
In between. So still disgusting.
9:26
So foul. Still foul, still grooming.
9:31
Like what was his role in the company?
9:33
God fucking no. He was a supervisor.
9:36
No, that's right. He was her.
9:38
Supervisor. Yeah.
9:39
And he's just like. What the fuck bitch, your dad
9:41
told you to lay low? He's fucking the supervisor.
9:46
On like day. One also, why are you going to
9:49
someone's house and their real name's Alfred?
9:52
Just fucking stop. Just fucking Why is their names
9:55
not their names? Yeah, it was very uncomfortable
9:58
to live through her. Girl, be your face and the weed.
10:01
I was like what am I doing here? No, not only that, every time,
10:07
before I forget about it, every time she was ghosted, she put on
10:10
a new lipstick. She'd be ghosted and then she'll
10:13
be like, I'm putting on shimmering red lipstick.
10:15
I'm like. It's giving King of Wrath.
10:18
The first one was hot pink. Yeah, does.
10:21
She think that straight men are going to notice.
10:23
They did so. Well, not real.
10:28
In real life they'd be like, I don't really notice if you put
10:31
it on your nipples. Like what is wearing a red
10:35
shimmery compared to a hot pink gonna do for any man ever?
10:39
Exactly. Even the gaze would be like
10:41
every. All like 3-4 times she was
10:44
ghosted. She'd come out swinging with her
10:46
lipstick and I'm like, put it away, someone take it off her.
10:51
Maybe it's Maybelline. Just get the lips gloss.
10:55
I don't know lip balm. Put some Crisco on that hoe.
11:00
It's just grease. She says stop, she just waltzes
11:04
into garages full of men with fucking hot.
11:08
Pink a lipstick on hot pink. Purple toned.
11:11
Not many people can pull off a hot pink properly.
11:14
Hot pink, purple toned. Not for me, sis.
11:17
Also. Well, not also, but who next?
11:21
Why out? Of notice, I know.
11:25
So I don't remember how he did it, but he asked her out on a
11:28
date. Like who gives a fuck that he's
11:31
your supervisor? I guess he asked her out for a
11:33
hike. Yeah.
11:35
And then like 5 seconds into the hike, not only is he
11:39
mansplaining life to her, like things that she should care
11:43
about in life, he just turns to her.
11:45
Fucking smash the survive watch. I'd be like I was trying to
11:50
calculate my steps. Not only that, it's the first
11:53
gift from her father, her first present from her own dad, and he
11:59
just smashes it out of all nowhere and then starts talking
12:03
about quacks on the Internet. You know.
12:07
None of them was going through psychosis.
12:09
You know what though, if he wanted to murder her that would
12:13
have been the best cover. Oh who needs this technology
12:17
smashes her location device and now he's free to murder her in
12:21
the wilderness bitch. Also, I don't know how much an
12:24
iWatch is nowadays. It's going to be at least 300
12:27
bucks. Like what are you doing so?
12:29
Mine was 700 and this is not even Apple.
12:31
What if I was grinding on that stripper pole in my free time
12:34
because my actually rich daddy doesn't support me?
12:38
That was like 10,000 visits to the VIP room my guy.
12:40
Not really. Just like a lot of grinds on
12:43
some random men, that's a lot of like, you look like my daughter.
12:47
Exactly, and he just obliterated it for no reason other than he's
12:52
paranoid and that women shouldn't have phones and
12:55
whatever the fuck. There's quacks on the Internet.
12:59
OK fucking quack. If some men took me one on a
13:04
hike, that's fine. But then smash my watch and then
13:08
we're on this full rampage about social media and quacks on the
13:11
Internet. I'll be like fuck, I'm getting
13:13
murdered. Actual.
13:15
I'm getting murdered and I need to leave.
13:16
I'd be like, sorry, I'm actually going to go home now.
13:18
I feel really sick. But why is he trying to
13:20
brainwash her so hard? Relax.
13:23
It's because they're not allowed phones on them at all times.
13:27
None of them use a phone, God forbid.
13:29
But they're not even. They're not initiating her into
13:32
the groove. God forbid Facebook ads on the
13:35
line with you, my God. Imagine how wild you would get
13:39
if she came out with the Ray ban meta sunny glasses.
13:44
I'd be like, Oh no, I just don't meta record this conversation.
13:48
She's like, actually with her little like, spy pen in her
13:51
pocket. Honestly, he's got things.
13:54
Dash camp, He's getting rid of them.
13:56
Insurance claim forget about it what part about would you find
14:00
relaxing or a nice time because. If I had.
14:02
To go on a date with a man that's a decade older than me
14:05
and all he did was talk about his life philosophies.
14:09
Yawn. Boring.
14:10
And then he falls asleep in the fucking hike.
14:13
What? I don't even remember that.
14:14
They lay down in front of a waterfall and he falls asleep.
14:17
So he is an old man. He is an old man because.
14:20
He's giving old man energy. Why doesn't she just leave him
14:23
there? You know what She doesn't?
14:24
Said straddles him. No.
14:27
This. Is why it's wiped from my memory
14:30
and this is their first date. Like, calm down.
14:33
Yeah, I think they had like a couple of meet ups before and he
14:36
wouldn't kiss her. And then she was like, I'm just
14:38
going to lick his lip, piercing all the crusties around it.
14:46
It's the crusty on the ring. What 26 year old straight man
14:49
right now has a lip ring? Valid also.
14:53
Wasn't fully like golfed up in like a in a way.
14:56
What? Also a 19 year old girl is
14:59
wearing hot pink lipstick. Facts.
15:02
We're in the Clean Girl era. I'm old and I still get with the
15:05
times. Fucking come on.
15:09
With the lip ring boss. Also also low key not gonna lie,
15:13
a blonde grease monkey boy with a lip ring would be my vibe.
15:17
I feel like I picked up no description of what he.
15:19
Looked like like blonde, golden tan.
15:23
He really wasn't giving that to me.
15:27
He was giving me really. He was giving me raw.
15:30
He was giving me nothing. He was giving side cut black
15:35
hair. He was giving AI Mark
15:38
Zuckerberg. He was.
15:39
Giving not like a normal lip ring, he had the pink spiky
15:44
ball. I.
15:46
I love how we read because I get really into books and I know you
15:50
don't give a fuck but I love that we ruined the fantasy after
15:53
I read the book. Good.
15:55
And not during the fuck. Well, one of my notes is who the
15:59
hell is Sean? Like, I just don't even know.
16:03
So it makes sense. I don't know what he looks like,
16:05
don't know his age. Fuck that man Weird fuck.
16:10
His full name is Alfred. That's.
16:12
What I'm saying, Roberts, yes. I was like, that's why I would
16:15
never go on a hike with a man named Alfred.
16:18
I'm pretty sure not long after she gets eaten out on the hike.
16:22
Which maybe not the place. Maybe not the place, but I'm
16:26
pretty sure right after. She the creepy cruel is the
16:29
case. Not in the Australian Outback,
16:33
no. Not on any range around here.
16:36
The snakes, the. Pusses away, the puss is not out
16:42
and about. Man eating cider right up.
16:49
Do you agree that the pussy is safely awake?
16:51
Oh, wait. Locked away, especially on a
16:57
hike. Chastity Bell Well.
17:00
You know what His energy to me, he's giving at least 40 year old
17:04
conspiracy theorist and he just sort of you're in the smokers
17:07
section of a club or whatever and then he just wrangles you
17:10
into the conversation. You literally feel awkward and
17:12
you can't leave. That's the entire dynamic or.
17:15
He's at universities, right? And he's standing there with his
17:19
mic yelling yes, social media, yes, but he's.
17:24
Definitely creepy as well. Yes, because he's definitely
17:27
sexually interested, I feel like.
17:29
Sean's name is actually Steve. I don't know how to explain that
17:34
otherwise Steve's out there, but yeah, fuck Steve's.
17:36
Yeah. Fucked up.
17:37
No, it's very much Sean. Like he's giving Sean.
17:42
Yeah, but anyway, she goes from getting eaten.
17:45
Cool. And then she shows up at his
17:47
garage in like a summer dress and hot pink lipstick.
17:51
I'm like, show up at his house. I don't know, not the garage
17:54
where there's millions of men working.
17:56
Wait, does he have a mobile? No.
18:01
She can't reach the man. He in that part of the book he
18:05
has, she's like, that's not your phone and he snaps the SIM card.
18:08
So he must just buy like a burner phone and which you can't
18:11
do in Australia because you've got to put your fucking whole
18:13
license down, your address, your full.
18:16
Name the biggest drug dealer Energy ever.
18:19
I would just assume that's what he's doing.
18:21
Yeah, she has no assumptions whatsoever.
18:24
No preservation of her own life? Who What the fuck who?
18:30
Tell me, who would ever write a line like this?
18:34
Kate Stewart. He flicks my spaghetti strap
18:37
down. A 40 year old woman would write
18:41
that. Let's look up Kate Stewart.
18:43
Kate, no, we might be slanderous on our age.
18:45
Let's see. I'm ageist, acting like I ain't
18:51
old. Oh, she's not that old.
18:53
How old is she? The first picture was like
18:55
really young girl reviewing it. I was like, Oh no, she's 30,
19:03
she's 1995 girl. No, you're not.
19:08
You know you're not Kate. No, you lie.
19:13
Katie, please. If a boy flicked my spaghetti
19:16
strap down, he flicked my spaghetti down.
19:22
He rolled it down my arm. He flicked it.
19:26
ASMR. Spaghetti.
19:30
Oh my God. OK, next most bizarre thing.
19:34
Why? OK, Please, please, I'm begging.
19:38
You can't tell me she's fucking 30 be so for real, Sorry, let's
19:43
just. Well, let's accept it.
19:44
I don't believe it, but let's accept it.
19:46
Why the fuck is there just a random woman inserted into the
19:51
plot called Selma who just makes tortillas 2470?
19:57
My. God like what?
20:00
What? Which place?
20:01
Is this get off your Robin Hood? Shit, get off it.
20:05
I've had enough every time. They're like, you just gotta
20:09
watch her. She's stealing for her disabled
20:11
family. They do it in the second book.
20:14
The other guy takes her to the bank.
20:16
I won't talk about the second book, just that he takes her to
20:18
the bank and he's like, find the criminal, find the criminal.
20:22
It's actually the bank. Shut up.
20:25
But I don't understand is she part of the dad's company or
20:28
not? Like I'm confused.
20:30
Summer she rolls tortillas all day, steals money out of till
20:35
the dad or the grandchild shows up.
20:38
She gives some money, but what? Division.
20:40
Is this in the company? What does the company even do?
20:43
She's not a part of the company that they're just saying From my
20:47
understanding of what Sean's trying to do, he's he's trying
20:49
to subtly hint that things so that when they drop the bomb on
20:53
her that they're fucking in a gang.
20:56
Essentially, she's like, oh, you actually do it for the good, not
20:59
that you're out here fucking beating people up.
21:02
I think they're just slowly trying to like orange tree her
21:07
to it. I.
21:08
Didn't even know you know what, but also.
21:11
Why are you going before you continue, before we, before we
21:14
separate from Selma? Why girl is crying?
21:18
Why are you at the laundry mat with some random guy you met a
21:23
week ago? You're on a date at the laundry
21:26
mat washing him and his friend's clothes.
21:29
I know it's pathetic you met this man 5 minutes ago.
21:35
He smashed your eye watch. If anything he owes you manual
21:39
labour. Why the fuck are you doing his
21:41
chores? Babe, we haven't even moved in
21:43
on. Exactly, and she's constantly.
21:46
Doing worse. It gets worse later.
21:49
Can you catch me doing my own fucking laundry, let alone some
21:53
other brat? Can we talk about how this is
21:58
this somehow is a why choose story but majorly fucked up the
22:04
entire pacing? So you have no idea that it's
22:07
going there and then suddenly it's just there.
22:10
She didn't even get to choose. No.
22:13
It was just like this is how it is.
22:15
I was just with Dominic. Yeah, but like overall, like the
22:19
plot, you did not see that coming.
22:21
I mean, they mentioned it want Melinda, The Chatty Cathy from
22:24
my work mentioned it one time. Exactly.
22:27
Women. What?
22:28
Yeah. And.
22:28
Then she was all like Sean would never.
22:31
But like, Shawn was also lining it up and you could.
22:34
Tell I know. Why are you getting the man
22:37
she's shits fucking scared of that.
22:39
Like is mean to her, kicked her out of a party, embarrassed her
22:42
in front of everyone to pick her up and drive her to his aunt's
22:46
house. Like be.
22:47
For real, I'm a fucking aunt. I want more on these fucking 2
22:51
because do they only date together?
22:55
They're so gay for each other. They're so gay for.
22:58
Well. If you think about the first sex
23:00
scene, he had his head between Dominic's legs and the way she
23:04
made it sound was that he was resting on his penis to eat her
23:08
out. My brain.
23:12
Cannot. I know.
23:12
No. He was either on the floor in
23:16
front of him, between Dominic's legs, or up on him.
23:19
They just decided that they were going to share her forever.
23:21
Like, yeah. For free.
23:23
I think it was more about it being for free and then actually
23:27
liking her. They're like, oh, we found an 18
23:30
year old who doesn't know any better.
23:32
Yeah, that means. Really like.
23:34
We need to use and abuse. Yeah, it.
23:36
Was nothing more than that. Like, let's not read.
23:39
Too deeply into it, like she, I don't know how she clicked onto
23:43
it because she's like yelling at Shawn and she's like, you share
23:45
women. He's like, it's OK.
23:47
And why didn't she believe the gossipy Co worker?
23:50
Just Melinda. I wouldn't listen to everything
23:52
Melinda says. Yeah, why not?
23:54
We love Melinda. Let's go.
23:56
She's coming through with the receipt.
23:57
She knew. Of you should be taking her out
23:59
to dinner to ask these questions.
24:01
Hell yeah. And she was like, they're
24:03
dangerous, don't get involved with them.
24:05
They'll chew you up and spit you.
24:07
Out. Well, the last girl disappeared.
24:09
Yeah, so there's a reason to be worried.
24:12
Before they get together, she's at his house, she's making Sean
24:17
dinner, but she has to make Dominique.
24:18
Before they all get together. All get together.
24:21
Yep, Yep. This girl has no backbone
24:22
because he grabs her hand and like rubs it up and down his
24:25
Dick and then she starts doing it herself.
24:27
I'm like stop it. But this is when she slams the
24:30
carrot cake into their faces, which was I was like, actually.
24:35
But bitch, you were the one in there making the carrot cake.
24:38
That's embarrassing enough as it is.
24:40
In a summer dress, probably in hot pink lipstick.
24:42
That's what I mean. I'm never letting it go.
24:44
So embarrassing I'm. Never letting it go.
24:46
But that's when he says I'm a psychiatrist, Says do you?
24:49
Ever made my man a cake? No.
24:53
And I never will. You don't like cooking on ovens?
24:56
I don't. I don't do shit really.
25:00
I was like oven, I hardly know you.
25:03
I hardly know you either. What's an oven?
25:09
I actually don't touch our oven. That's what I'm saying.
25:11
He has to do it. There was one day you said to me
25:14
you were scared of the oven. I am scared of toiling away I'm.
25:19
Just scared of becoming barefoot and pregnant.
25:23
It's all connected to the oven. Yes, the oven's fault.
25:27
Can we stop for a moment? No.
25:29
Can you? Just delve into a really weird
25:32
corner of Cecilia's mind, because there was I.
25:36
Don't know if I want to go back in there.
25:38
Right, I've started the sentence.
25:40
Go. She was wondering to herself if
25:43
her own biological dad was hot back in the day.
25:48
No, my brain muted that out. And she was constantly making
25:52
excuses for her hopeless ass alcoholic Mal.
25:56
Constantly. Yes, she goes.
25:58
I bet she just fell for him. I bet he was hot bitch.
26:02
That's your own daddy. That's your.
26:03
Father well, they do say about reconnections and family.
26:08
EW EW yeah, not good. I've seen too many stories on
26:13
TikTok. So Sean lives with Dominic, and
26:19
so they're in this fucking weird adult.
26:21
Frat. House that you know for a fact
26:24
smells like weed and ball. Sack why are they smoking so
26:27
much weed? Why is that all they do?
26:31
And she's in that share house baking banana bread, carrot
26:36
cake. I'm pretty sure she she does
26:38
banana bread as well. No, there's.
26:39
Multiple baked goods going on that's not going to cover the
26:43
stank dank balls and weed. Well, I'm OK with it because she
26:48
fucking hits them with it. It was the only time I was like,
26:51
actually, I might be able to get through it when she got a little
26:54
bit of a backbone and she slapped him in the back of the
26:56
head with it. Isn't it funny how she was
26:57
desperate to be over all the time?
26:59
Like just get a lot. I think they were forcing it
27:02
upon her as well. She lived in a house alone.
27:05
If you want to spend time with your girlfriend why not go to
27:07
her house? Her big ass mansion with a pool
27:10
that doesn't stink and probably is cleaner with a nicer kitchen.
27:14
Like be so fucking for real. You know he had fucking bottles
27:18
of piss next to his bed. Hear me out, why would you want
27:24
to go to the garage of his workplace after hours and sit
27:28
with 30 random men? They make weird jokes to each
27:33
other and pass around like she fell asleep smoking pot around
27:37
30 random men literally going to get murdered.
27:41
She's just lucky that the guy she was seeing was half decent
27:45
and even then he's questionable. But like she gives off clingy.
27:50
They're like, oh, she's back again.
27:53
How embarrassing. She's Cecilia's back around guys
27:56
fucking pack up the porn. Can't whack off in a circle
28:01
together. I know it's giving Bonnie blue.
28:04
Stuff. Why is it that people in her
28:08
company practically want to physically fight her when it's
28:12
already being told that she's the CEO's daughter?
28:16
If you hate the CEO that much, tell it to his.
28:18
Face about what's like lawyer up baby no but everyone knows she
28:24
see a strange daughter like they don't have a relationship and
28:28
they're like is your father she grew up in poverty too bitch
28:34
with an addict mother she probably grew up in a less
28:37
loving home than most of them people in there let's.
28:40
Do it. You knew it was coming.
28:43
But like. She just don't, but she doesn't
28:53
go on. I just.
28:55
Like, be for real, be for real. You're trying to fight her.
28:57
And you've probably got like 50 million family members.
29:00
She grew up with an alcoholic mother who let her drown.
29:04
One of her memories is her mother letting her drown.
29:07
And even her own daddy doesn't care about her.
29:09
So like, she's got problems, babe.
29:11
Oh my God this poor girl is getting almost bashed at work.
29:14
She's getting scared to go in a car.
29:15
Her dad doesn't give a fuck. She grew up with a mum that
29:18
literally put her in a pool and was like fucking some guy on the
29:22
side of the pool and let her drown and she's like, I just
29:24
kicked my way to the surface. Sorry, I'm spiraling, I'm
29:27
smiling, I'm an adult and I need to stop.
29:31
I just don't even remember that bitch.
29:33
Fuck that bitch. The fuck you're going to.
29:36
Why are you fucking some man that hates you be so for real.
29:40
He literally is like you're the scum of the.
29:43
Earth, you ugly old question, Emily.
29:45
You ugly bitch. And then he's like tenderly
29:47
touching her and she's like, actually, I could.
29:50
But he shut up. But he's French so it's OK.
29:53
He's not even French, he's fake French.
29:56
I know what was that. Grow up in America.
29:59
I think they weren't committing to any of the tropes they were
30:02
trying to do, which was why choose.
30:04
Age. Gap and dating the boss because
30:08
there's no setup. It's not even sexy.
30:10
Nope. But like some of the shit she
30:12
wrote, like if someone said this shit to me, I want my OK.
30:18
Sean said this. You know my mind and my heart.
30:21
You know me. I made sure of it.
30:22
But this is my world, our world. And if you want in, you have
30:25
another decision to make. I'll.
30:27
What was he even trying to ask there?
30:29
I think he was asking her to join.
30:32
They're Raven. Hood, but he wouldn't the Raven
30:34
Hood actually. He would never actually come out
30:36
and say it though. No, I really hate in books too
30:40
when they the female character gets cocky in a gross way.
30:45
They finally let her in on some of the secret, not all the
30:48
secrets, some of the secret. And she's like in the dress
30:51
shop. And she's like, I'll let Sean
30:54
know so he can help, you know what I mean?
30:57
I'm like, shut up. You can't even talking about.
31:00
They apparently hand out cheques to random businesses to keep
31:03
them going. Yeah, but like, you're not a
31:06
part of. It you have no idea.
31:09
Also why are you making promises?
31:11
Also they're trying to G you up to keep a secret and you're like
31:14
you know what I mean? Wink wink.
31:16
And she's blurting out. In front of everyone.
31:19
Yeah. She's even out there with Layla
31:21
doing this, who's been a part of this thing since birth.
31:25
And Layla's probably like, fuck's sake, Like she can't be
31:28
trusted. She doesn't.
31:30
Even know what the gang's involved in?
31:31
No, she thinks it's some weird like sex thing.
31:35
Yeah, to be fair, I. Think.
31:37
I think she doesn't think it's real.
31:39
Well, they don't tell her enough and they're like, we have to
31:42
keep a secret, but I don't want to keep a secret if it's like a
31:45
murder, do not. Think.
31:47
Just tell her some of it. Just be like, hey, we do some
31:50
shit at this. Point I was trying to make a
31:53
theory about why she wasn't allowed to have her phone and
31:56
everything, and I thought obviously it's because they're
31:59
killing pedophiles. You know how they're always
32:02
secret, secret FBI agent? Yeah, they're exclusively taking
32:06
out pedophiles. Yeah.
32:08
And I'm kind of like, that's whatever I thought it was going.
32:10
Yeah, I, I don't. Even know what it even end.
32:13
The only thing I guess right was the bit she was like fucking
32:17
Sean in the pool and they were all at her house and don't wait
32:21
inside. And I was like, oh, they're
32:23
using her. That's the only thing I got
32:25
right. I was like, oh, they're using
32:26
her to get to her dad. How did Inkling confirmed?
32:31
But anyway, because it was just such a dumpster fire, my plot
32:35
makes more sense. Like it makes it better because
32:38
at least then there's a reason. They're out here stealing money
32:41
from crooks. Why did they have fuck the same
32:43
girl? I don't understand the logic and
32:48
the only thing I put it down to is Dominic has no fucking
32:52
emotions, right? Not I don't know why a reason.
32:56
And he gets with Sean's girls, so I feel like they have a
33:00
lifelong commitment to each other.
33:01
Yeah, because Sean gives them all the lovey dovey shit and
33:05
then they just sleep with Dominic.
33:07
And Dominic doesn't have to give them the lovey dovey shit
33:09
because Sean overcompensates for it.
33:11
They form together, yeah, but the qualities of maybe one
33:15
decent boyfriend. Yes, that's my theory.
33:18
Because they're useless, Yes, as separate people.
33:21
And all the time Dominic will be like, you're not going to get
33:23
this from me. Meanwhile he was low key doing
33:25
it. Like he went and bought her a
33:26
whole heap of romance books so shit they could read and bed
33:29
together. I'm like just.
33:32
So, you know, with this fucking Raven tattoos.
33:35
Which disaster? I mean if you want to keep it a
33:39
secret why are they half up their neck and down their arms?
33:43
It's the worst kept secret I've ever seen.
33:45
You're not going to think it's a gang when there's fucking
33:47
thousands of men with the same. Sorry.
33:49
Exactly. Why By giving her the nickname
33:54
Worm instead of Pop? Because where did Pop come from
34:01
where it makes more sense? Or like coin.
34:04
Like a little silver coin. Because Ravens like to trade in
34:07
coins. You know, little sparkly object
34:10
that shimmering red lipstick all the time.
34:14
Can we talk about I don't know where the fuck they're going
34:16
because there's no plot, right? So she's in the car with Sean.
34:19
He's got a playlist on. He's got the Spotify.
34:22
It's randomizing. It's fine, right?
34:25
Yeah, I do this all the time. Yeah.
34:27
Right. So for once, this isn't Sean's
34:28
fault. It's dramatic.
34:30
There's a hundred different songs going on in this car ride
34:33
and then just one happens to come on with, I don't know,
34:36
lyrics. She fucking loses it loses her
34:40
mind because the song out of 100 songs who played on this trip
34:45
implies that she's just a booty call.
34:48
What do you really think Shawn's smart enough to leak in one
34:54
exact song about how he's. Specifically.
34:56
Feeling amongst the rest of the songs, what song do you?
35:01
Think about I'm surprised that man has Spotify.
35:03
What do you mean? Oh, he was playing.
35:05
Music. Somehow.
35:06
It was the they had the songs in there.
35:09
I can't remember what it was. That was right before she fucked
35:13
them on the floaty thing. Why is so?
35:15
She's so offended that they're a booty call when?
35:18
That's what you are, girl. Have you not?
35:21
Been booty called, yeah. You have not accepted the call
35:24
of the booty. Are they not calling your booty
35:27
constantly? Is.
35:29
Not the booty call coming from the inside of the house.
35:31
Are you not driving out to said booty call on Blake?
35:36
Literally are you not on route to booty call?
35:40
I was actually genuinely confused.
35:42
I'm like. That girl was in love from like
35:44
day one. She was like infatuated.
35:48
Ask about his intention. He was.
35:51
He was singing a little bit too enthusiastically, I think he
35:55
was. Getting a bit too into.
35:57
Yeah, I want. He's like pumping out side to
35:59
side by our heroes. About Dominic and how he booty
36:04
blasted it the night before, which honestly makes more sense
36:08
than whatever the fuck is going on here.
36:10
Just kind of but like. What I'm not going to be doing,
36:13
I'm. Convinced these two are gay for
36:16
each other, so gay valid valid be hot together and that they're
36:21
too homophobic to get together so they sleep with the same.
36:26
Girl. Yeah, she's just the beard.
36:29
She is the beard. Because how?
36:31
How are you going to have a man on your Dick eating some girl's
36:34
face? A face eating some girl out.
36:38
You're not. You've got Dick in the back,
36:41
pussy in the front, and you're not telling me that's a little.
36:45
Bit bisexual, a little bit a little bit bisexual.
36:49
On the spectrum, a little bit. A little sway to the Not
36:53
strange. It's totally not.
36:54
Strange. It's a little bent rulery if you
36:58
ask me. It's a little bit sexually
37:01
fluid. Cooked spaghetti, if you will.
37:05
Well, that's how I. Pictured it and if she didn't
37:08
want to pitch it that way, she should have wrote it better.
37:10
I don't know why throughout the whole book everyone and it could
37:13
just be a random guy can be the guys that she's literally
37:17
dating. They keep asking her or baiting
37:19
her into being like hey do you even know how to party?
37:26
Also what example? Cider and weed?
37:28
I'm like what 26 year old is partying that hard all the time?
37:34
If you're 26, at least move up to cocaine.
37:37
What are you doing? What the fuck?
37:39
Are you doing wags out? At least you're.
37:41
Doing, but where are you at here?
37:44
You're not even doing nose beers yet.
37:46
Yeah. What are you even doing?
37:47
You're drinking apple cider, being like we've got some H in
37:52
your girl here. Oh my God, you.
37:54
Even know how to put him at. Least bring out the green Berry
37:58
if you really want to surprise us.
38:00
What's going on that you guys are so cooked, so embarrassing.
38:07
I'm going to cry. You know what I feel bad for?
38:13
Kate, that golden party. Ever.
38:19
I'm so sorry crying can't believe you're 30 years old.
38:24
I'm so sorry that you are home schooled Kate.
38:29
I'm. So sorry you didn't get to go
38:31
out. You know.
38:32
What she was more when you can't.
38:33
Tell me she wrote that outdoor eating pussy scene for herself.
38:38
She just wanted to be free. She's like, I really live.
38:57
Sorry, Kate, I get it now. It's.
39:01
Fine, right away. We know you love the lipstick.
39:05
It's OK. It's right.
39:07
It's right. You rock that hot pink girl.
39:11
This is your aunt Pop. I can't wait to write just
39:17
untapped sex scenes and everyone analysis my psyche.
39:22
She's either getting eaten out like crazy or none at all.
39:30
There is no. End to using she's either pop
39:33
and pussy or she's not. Isn't that all of us really
39:38
though? Read the pop and pussy or not,
39:42
I'm like. Really that had orgasms or never
39:46
had a first one girls. Just want to have fun.
39:52
OK my next. I don't know.
39:55
Do you have any more plot points around this stupid floaty?
39:58
Thing no. OK, so somewhere in the bee plot
40:03
is her mum being an alcoholic bitch, right?
40:08
And then you know what? She's just accepted, well, I
40:11
guess if my Mama was a hoe that I'm a hoe and I'm like,
40:19
interesting use of free will. Like you just decide well the
40:23
apple doesn't pull far. If she can do that.
40:25
I would too. She's just like, you know what?
40:30
I'm built different. I'm built like my Mama.
40:33
She's like, I'm built for pussy pop and.
40:36
I'm only young once after I go away to college and after this
40:39
stupid internship's over I won't be busting it open for two.
40:42
Guys, at once I'll be 30. I'm writing romance books.
40:45
Exactly. So she thought, I may as well
40:48
pop that puss while I can. And you know what?
40:50
I get it. Valid.
40:53
Valid. Honestly, I get it.
40:55
Keep on popping girl pop. It.
40:57
Pop it off. I just OK at this point I wanted
41:03
to struggle someone because I'm sorry this is so off tap.
41:08
OK So what the fuck are these secrets?
41:12
What the fuck? We're at like 75% of the book.
41:15
Fucking no idea. The worst part is, you know how
41:17
they kept saying the secret is you?
41:20
I know what that means now, but still, do you want me to tell
41:23
you? Do not care?
41:24
It's not. Going to make a difference.
41:28
You know what? It made me think of The secret.
41:30
You know, the book about manifesting shit, No.
41:36
But the way they would say it to her and just like be like just
41:39
put it together girl with what information?
41:42
But for why I was like I couldn't even put it together.
41:46
I had to read it in the next. Book and you still had to be
41:49
like. Told.
41:52
At this point I'm like, if somebody doesn't roll up to my
41:56
house and tell me the secret, I'm about to fucking lose my
41:59
marbles. But the way they're just like
42:01
it's you. OK how?
42:04
OK, OK, I'd be like cool. So was the other bitch.
42:08
Was she the secret too? Oh my God, is this what you do?
42:12
This is your fuck boy. It's like your Dicks are huge
42:17
and it's great but I can't. What are you?
42:19
Saying to me, you know, in one ear out the other.
42:22
It doesn't make sense. Doesn't.
42:24
Quite make sense like me let's. Be real, I'm a Nebo baby.
42:29
I'm only here for the Dick. There's no reason I feel like
42:32
what? Like there's no way I'm hanging
42:34
around dank weed. No, a bad Dick.
42:37
Not. Sorry, like let's not get it
42:39
I'm. Surprised she didn't get Eiffel
42:41
towered at some point. Yeah.
42:43
Why was it sex together once and then never again?
42:46
What? Yeah, what is the point?
42:47
What is the point? I think they just really wanted
42:50
to cover up their gayness. You can't tell me he didn't
42:53
sneak. He put a finger in one of them
42:54
butt holes. 100% I think they do their own thing separately.
42:59
The boys. What the fuck?
43:04
She eventually finds out that was it.
43:06
Monique, Melinda. Melinda, every time.
43:10
Every time. When Melinda said those rooms
43:15
all the way back, she finally found out that yes, in fact
43:18
that's true and the chick has disappeared.
43:20
But not only does she find that out so late in the piece, she
43:23
does nothing with that information.
43:25
She's like no reaction at all. She doesn't care.
43:30
She did a big millennial pause and just continued living.
43:34
Like what? How did that not change your
43:37
viewpoint of anything? She just doesn't even worry
43:41
about it. She's very 18, very 19 year old
43:43
girl. There's a bit where he finally
43:45
confesses that he's a secret agent.
43:47
And I was like, I was like, duh, OK.
43:52
And you kill pedophiles. Like, hello.
43:54
It's the only way this book could go.
43:58
Is this when he's like yelling at her and he's like, you don't
44:01
believe in me and they're like fighting?
44:03
Oh, that's when they broke up for one minute.
44:05
Nothing made me more mad than that conversation, actually.
44:08
You know what though, she is right and that man is wrong.
44:11
And I know she backpedalled but and they had a date and because
44:15
he doesn't have a phone he didn't message her and she had
44:19
been cooking all day for this man.
44:21
I would not be with a man that took me being upset valid.
44:26
He's got other priorities. But if they took the food I made
44:29
and threw it across the room, that would be it for me.
44:32
A. 100. Percent if you're going to get
44:34
that angry at me, shut up and let me leave.
44:37
And then she's like, I just. Shut up and let me leave.
44:40
Just let me fucking leave. And then she's like, I just love
44:43
you. And she only confessed that
44:46
because he got mad. Yes and broke up with her and
44:49
told her to leave. All she wanted was, hey, I had
44:52
no idea you were going to come late.
44:54
I was worried that you were out there getting killed because I
44:56
assume you're doing something dangerous.
44:57
Well, she he threw it in her face and was like, you know that
45:00
everything I do is more important than you cooking
45:02
fucking dinner, bitches. And he threw the plate.
45:05
I'm going to go fuck Dominic. No.
45:09
He doesn't do this to me, she just lets me nails.
45:13
Leave out but the way I'm like rancid, rancid the whole.
45:18
Sober. It was disgusting.
45:20
And he's like, you don't believe in me?
45:22
And she's just like, why should? She.
45:24
Well, she set up a whole date and I get you don't need phones,
45:27
but you could just literally. No, I'd never get over the phone
45:30
thing. Nah, like you don't have a phone
45:34
you. Bum ass bitch.
45:35
You're just gonna go out there and use as an excuse to never
45:38
text when you're on the way to completely disrespect my time to
45:42
be like, oh, I didn't know what the time of our date was because
45:45
I don't have a phone. Fucking no.
45:48
Because you wouldn't do that to. I'm sure his job.
45:51
I'm sure his boss expects if they've got some military time
45:56
shit that he's going to be somewhere at the right time.
45:58
So if you're not going to do it for your boss, don't do it to
46:01
me, bitch. I'm like also why are you back
46:03
and pedalling and being like I love you?
46:04
I know that's originally what she was there to do, but if some
46:07
man yelled at me I'd be like no, you don't deserve that and I
46:11
would leave. And he threw the food.
46:13
Or like screaming in her face. Terrible.
46:17
Like that's not even the worst part of this whole fucking book.
46:21
I don't even know why she fell in love with him.
46:22
Really, there wasn't even that much trauma.
46:26
Sex bonding. I think she just it was very
46:29
much he invaded her space all the time.
46:32
Do you know in that breakup speech thing, his horrible word
46:37
salad while not revealing the quote UN quote secret sort of
46:40
thing and like just conspiracy theory bullshit and the belief
46:43
and had me tweaking. I was like, I hate it.
46:50
Shut up. I would be like, you're on drugs
46:52
right now. 5 seconds later she's like at least he's pushing his
46:55
Dick into me because he started banging her like straight away.
47:00
Who the fuck even is Tyler? Because like what?
47:02
He's the third guy that lives in their house.
47:05
They she just kept throwing out random names.
47:08
I know random characters. Like there's a Russell, there's
47:11
a Jeremy, there's a lot of them. But why the fuck in books like
47:15
this does she have to jump on the bandwagon of whoever's
47:18
problem is going on at the time? Because she jumped on this
47:22
entire bandwagon of Tyler and his fucking relative.
47:26
Yeah, and she decided she had to go fix her entire hoarder home
47:31
and make sure she takes her medicine.
47:33
That's Dominic's auntie. OK hear me out how I find this
47:38
all so stupid. Delphine refuses help.
47:41
Valid. I get it.
47:42
Her house is a cockroach infested fucking hoarders home
47:45
but she also goes through cancer treatment so she's not home all
47:48
the fucking time. So hire cleaners to clean her
47:50
fucking house. Tyler was like Dominique has
47:54
arguments with her all the time. He also has a lot of money.
47:58
He also takes her to her cancer treatments.
48:01
Literally pay people for three hours to scrub her house top to
48:04
toe. But I think because what she was
48:06
trying to say is Dominic's approach is bad, yeah.
48:08
And that's why she had to come in and mediate as a female to be
48:11
like, we're just trying to help you, why the fuck is that her
48:16
problem? I.
48:16
Also I would feel fucking horrible.
48:18
I don't think she realised that Dominique has tried to help her
48:21
and probably just assume he doesn't because the first time
48:24
when she walked into the house she was like there's literal
48:26
fucking cockroaches everywhere and she's sick.
48:29
Have a conversation with that man because if that man was like
48:33
oh I actually don't want to help her why date him?
48:36
That's a rancid man. Well, she kind of likes that
48:38
he's rancid. Valid.
48:41
It was so confusing. Who the fuck was like in love
48:44
with Delphine? Tyler.
48:47
But I thought that was his grandma.
48:48
No, OK. Delphine is Dominic's auntie and
48:53
when Dominic moved over he was about 6 and Delphine was 20.
48:58
And then it kind of goes into it that Tyler was sleeping with
49:01
Delphine, but I don't know if he was 18 and she. 40.
49:07
So why? Did that have to happen?
49:10
I just don't get it for another book.
49:12
Literally, they're her new book out that's coming out and this
49:15
month is about them. So that entire scene was about
49:19
that and I could not be any less interested.
49:21
I was like, who are these? Sickers.
49:23
And then he's like, she used to be the hottest woman.
49:27
Cool. Look after her you cunt.
49:29
And it's like, so she's not hot now.
49:31
I'm like what do you mean you've all left her to rot in her
49:35
cancer alone? Literally.
49:38
You ain't off to the fucking Marines or whatever it.
49:41
Has to be such a move though. Oh my God, poor girls are
49:45
dealing with all these children and ovarian cancer.
49:48
Honestly. Fucking assholes.
49:51
Why did Delphine had to get like this?
49:53
Like why did this have to happen?
49:56
It's just, it's just no, no, just.
49:59
It's just. Just it's when they just set up
50:01
random books and it makes no sense to the plot, but it's.
50:04
No. It's like whatever wipes out
50:07
when that random cleaner guy and I'm like, that's just the only
50:11
thing this man has to do with this book is he's the next book.
50:14
Do you want me to feel sorry for this bitch?
50:16
I do a little but also why are you spicy?
50:22
And but The thing is, the way she talked to people, it sounded
50:25
like she was bloody 95. Yeah.
50:27
So that's why I assumed she was the thing.
50:29
I was grandma. And then he said he was in love
50:31
with her. And I was like, why are you
50:32
banging your own grandma? Well, if that she I was really.
50:37
Lost. Well, she would have been only
50:39
40. But the way she was.
50:43
Talking, she's like, let me my alcohol.
50:48
And she's got a hoarder home. With cockroaches, why are you
50:53
thinking about? Why are you thinking about the
50:56
back in the day? You're looking at this lady
50:59
crippled on her couch. Cockroaches literally cover her
51:01
while she's sleeping. You're like, she's fucking used
51:03
to be so hot. Shut up.
51:06
She's a person. She's going to fuck me slightly.
51:11
Predatory but. Slightly very predatory.
51:16
I mean, I wouldn't. Do it.
51:19
Bit of an Aaron Taylor Johnson situation.
51:21
Bit of us should be in jail situation, no?
51:25
No fuck okay can we even talk about the breakup because I
51:27
didn't even know what happened. The reality God I didn't skip a
51:30
chapter and I still didn't understand the fucking how she
51:35
was in love with them 5 seconds ago.
51:38
She's like, fuck them. I can't believe what they did to
51:41
me. And I was like, did I miss?
51:43
You definitely did, because I reckon chapter 38 was the worst
51:48
fucking chapter I've ever listened to, Not in terms of it
51:53
was bad writing. Like it generally made me feel
51:56
so I'll to participate a part of it.
52:01
So what I was like, this is I was like, I felt how I felt.
52:06
When she was trying. Alcohol and weed for the first
52:08
time and I was like, let me out. I had to stop listening to it
52:12
and read it and read it because I needed to slow down because I
52:16
was like the. Only time I felt that sick was
52:19
during Denovius. Valid.
52:22
Any feelings about Denovius is valid.
52:24
Anyway, she went on a date with Dominic.
52:27
They were sitting literally on his car having a cute under the
52:32
stars situation. They weren't fucking, they just
52:35
had a cute under the stars like make out hang out talk thing.
52:39
She goes back, so he gets driven back and then Sean goes like the
52:44
secret's out. And she's like, what is it?
52:47
Is it I'm like, cool, when am I getting double digged?
52:52
So no. Why are you so stressed for no
52:55
reason? And then she's like trying to
52:56
work it out and Sean's like, I'm gonna drive her back.
52:59
Dominic's having like this random rage fit when they're
53:02
leaving, like throwing shit around.
53:04
So they ghost her for days and she's like, what the fuck is
53:08
going on? Like, are they OK?
53:10
Are they safe? She again puts on a hot outfit,
53:13
summer dress, red lips. She puts on a, I'm pretty sure
53:16
she's wearing, yeah. She hits a red sun dress and red
53:20
lips, like she's worn all that. She's like, I want to see my
53:23
men, I miss them, blah, blah, blah.
53:25
Right. She shows up to the garage.
53:27
She's like, oh, they are alive. She's a little pissed.
53:29
She's like, they've just been ignoring me for a couple of days
53:33
so. Almost a whole week.
53:35
Always a whole week. So from my understanding, the
53:38
things she did was Dom is Dom's really into music and they would
53:42
deep dive on the meaning behind music.
53:44
So when she showed up to the garage, they were playing
53:49
Afternoon Delight and then they played another song called
53:52
Cecilia, which was like a song about a slutty girl essentially.
53:57
And then they locked her in the garage.
54:00
So they slammed the door behind her.
54:02
They both ignored her. The song was playing and she was
54:05
like crying and then Dominic was laughing at her.
54:09
It's giving primary school. Yeah, she was embarrassed.
54:11
She's in front of like fucking 50 people and they were doing
54:13
this to her and would not are. They all doing the weed.
54:17
Are they all? Doing the weed.
54:19
They were all doing the pools. But yeah, they essentially
54:23
embarrassed her in front of people.
54:24
They embarrassed her so that their boss thought she was no
54:29
longer in the picture. And then she like, spiraled.
54:31
She immediately drove home to her mum's house.
54:34
And the only reason she had an inkling that they didn't want to
54:37
do it is because Sean was trying to fight Dom.
54:40
I can't imagine doing that instead of just having a
54:43
conversation about breaking up. Literally Like why did it have
54:47
to be? If anything, that'd be
54:48
embarrassing if I got locked into a fucking garage.
54:51
I think they were trying to make a point because they did it in
54:54
front of all their different charters.
54:56
That would make them look really childish and stupid.
54:59
Men are childish and stupid most of the time, so it was probably
55:01
very on brand. But I'd be like, when are you
55:03
hooking me up to a chair and removing my fingernails?
55:07
You're gonna shut a garage door and blast a song about me?
55:10
I'm fucking having a great. Laughing at me.
55:12
Yeah, I'm having a great. I would be like me forever,
55:14
guys. I'd be like I'm the centre of
55:16
attention. Well, I think because Sean, Sean
55:18
is also very attentive to her all the time and he wouldn't
55:21
even look at her. So.
55:23
Yeah, to a 19 year old girl, that's a lot.
55:27
The whole thing of that chapter was so uncomfortable and I was
55:30
like, I cannot. Cope OK, They've ghosted me for
55:33
five days. I would have brought a new boy
55:36
to the function. Yes.
55:39
He would also be in a sun dress. But they also pay the whole town
55:42
off. Who's she going to bring?
55:44
Melinda? Yeah, someone's getting her dad.
55:47
Her actual dad. Her dating girl.
55:52
She was hot back in the day, you know.
55:53
Your old attraction thing actually happened and now he's
55:58
got some people to fire. She used to be a hot MILF way
56:02
back when. MILF.
56:05
I'm done. OK so I figured they ghosted her
56:09
and she acted like it was the worst thing ever and then she
56:12
was just like. But yeah, they know they
56:15
embarrassed her in front of everyone.
56:16
And didn't she go out of? Town.
56:18
She drove back to Christie's, her friend's house, and then
56:21
stayed with Christy for two week.
56:23
And then she was like, actually, I'm going to go back.
56:25
I'm going to get my fucking inheritance.
56:27
She goes back and they were like, we didn't mean to do it.
56:30
We'll just try to send a message, have a conversation
56:33
with me, pull her aside and just be like, hey, this is going to
56:37
go down in a couple of days. We need to break up.
56:40
Yeah, but they're too dumb for us.
56:43
I don't. And the person who tracks her
56:45
down is Dominic, and he practically runs her down the
56:47
street and, like, grabs her. Yeah.
56:50
It's like we had to. I'm like, bitch Festival.
56:52
The dead person involved is not even here.
56:54
Yeah, like, let's have a calm. Sit down, you fucking idiot.
56:57
Yeah, also I wouldn't even. Want to sit down with them?
56:59
I'd be like, no, I wouldn't be back there.
57:02
Fuck them. No, honestly, if I'm being for
57:05
real, for real about it, bringing up the second book,
57:08
which I promised I wouldn't do, so I lied.
57:10
No, that's OK 'cause I'll never. Read them two are boys, the next
57:14
one is a man. If it in terms of like their
57:17
attitude, they give very much boy, OK and the next man gives
57:22
very possessive man. And is he in their gang?
57:25
He's the boss of their game. So she went straight to the.
57:28
Top she went straight to the she.
57:30
Went from super, she's Nebo baby supervisor, her own guy and then
57:34
to the top. He is actually the one that they
57:36
were trying to hide her from. Yeah, but he already knew about
57:39
it. So that's how.
57:40
So she's the secret because the other man, right?
57:44
He already knew he wanted to take out her dad but didn't want
57:46
her involved. So he's tried to hide her for
57:49
years, and then she moved back in and everyone discovered her.
57:52
So she was technically his secret.
57:55
He was trying to keep her away from everyone.
57:58
And then, of course, Sean and Dominique bring her right into
58:01
the middle of it. Yeah, So they're very much
58:04
stupid, boy. Whereas the next one is actually
58:06
like much more enjoyable to read.
58:09
OK, but why does she even matter?
58:12
Just do get out with the dad. Exactly.
58:14
She didn't have to be. A part of any.
58:17
Any she's not even been taken hostage or anything So what the
58:21
fuck is the point? He was trying to hide her so
58:23
that she wouldn't become a hostage.
58:26
Her dad doesn't have just one problem, he's pissed off
58:29
multiple people like them. Yeah, but wouldn't he just hire
58:33
security details He. Doesn't like his daughter.
58:36
Yeah, so why would they target her?
58:39
If they did any Intel, they would know that he doesn't give
58:41
a fuck about her and she'd be a normal person.
58:43
No, because let's be real that people who are doing like shady
58:47
shit like that do not care if your father likes you or not,
58:50
they will kidnap you still. Like, if you're going to set all
58:53
this up to matter about the dad, at least do a bit of character
58:56
development on the dad, yeah. Don't give a fuck about that
58:59
man. You can't make the audience care
59:01
if we have no idea what's going on with any characters.
59:04
Yeah. We know nothing.
59:06
No, nothing. And it didn't matter what the
59:08
secret was. It also was annoying.
59:10
Like we knew that they were in some kind of gang right from the
59:13
outside looking in, so her not knowing didn't help to reveal it
59:17
at the end. I'm like, wow, you gave us no
59:19
plot as it is, why would you think I would go pick up the
59:22
second book when this one doesn't?
59:24
Even well, the first 30 sent off, the second book is all sex.
59:27
Yeah, so there's no plot in that.
59:29
I don't even know what's happening in there, but I'm
59:31
reading it like. I don't even know.
59:35
Well, this book is really popular on TikTok and everyone.
59:38
Yeah. And they're like, I'm wondering
59:40
if the second-half of the second book is the reason, I think.
59:45
People just like the weird gang dynamic without caring about.
59:49
Actual plot, I don't like the game dynamic.
59:52
It comes up a lot though. At least give me an ending, give
59:56
me an answer about the inheritance, and give me a vague
59:59
teasing of what's to come that it's going to be a different
1:00:01
guy. Like I don't already like just.
1:00:03
The vague teasing is the cliffhanger at the end.
1:00:06
The Frenchman it. Wasn't a good. 1A French man.
1:00:10
What should we rate this out of? The weeds.
1:00:15
OK, look, it's looking like it's looking like a fucking zero.
1:00:19
It's. A1 It's only a one because I
1:00:23
liked it enough in the second-half to read the second
1:00:26
one. But I didn't like the I didn't
1:00:29
like the book at all. Oh OK, because I was going to
1:00:31
say 1 means I didn't like it. Yeah.
1:00:34
How many times I have to fucking beg on my hands and knees for a
1:00:37
plot I don't understand? Maybe I'm just not meant to be
1:00:40
in a 19 year old girl's head. Maybe that's just not for me.
1:00:45
I don't. Maybe I'm past that.
1:00:46
You know what? Let's give the author some
1:00:48
credit if she aged up the character in the next book and
1:00:50
the writing got slightly better. I wonder if so in the next book.
1:00:54
Right. She's 20 so she is not as pick
1:00:58
me. She doesn't do much.
1:01:00
She is a little but not as much. But with the prologue being like
1:01:04
she's 26, I'm wondering if it does a time jump and she bumps
1:01:08
to 26. She must do the third one,
1:01:10
surely 20. 6 So hopefully at 26 she's not like this.
1:01:17
It's great. Is that?
1:01:20
Everything I'm so done, it's. The fucking dumbest shit I've
1:01:25
ever read. It made me feel.
1:01:27
It made me feel dumb. It made me feel like when we
1:01:31
were reading Crawdads the Illiterate when she was an
1:01:35
illiterate child. Had a setting, a plot.
1:01:40
I know you're talking about how you felt reading it, Yes, that's
1:01:42
what you mean, yes, But it was the book.
1:01:45
At least it had a reason plot. Yes.
1:01:49
Whereas yeah, this made you feel icky, like how I felt from
1:01:52
reading Dena vibes when someone was getting stabbed.
1:01:55
