  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have any other than great big beautiful life, but first we're going to talk about some recent reads.
• 0:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just listened to Leather and Mark, which is the second book in that whole trilogy.
• 0:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I did not like it as much as the first one.
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: really.
• 0:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 0:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Did you listen to it?
• 0:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 0:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Was the audiobook just as good?
• 0:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: The audiobook was just as good.
• 0:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just didn't like the story as much.
• 0:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's different characters, right?
• 0:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 0:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 0:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 0:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it's the best friend and the brother.
• 0:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like with that genre, like it's hard to keep people interested.
• 1:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, it was it was different.
• 1:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like there was a different story and it was different enough.
• 1:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Isn't it dark romance?
• 1:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
• 1:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 1:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: For me, that's different.
• 1:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like I feel like that's hard because I want different issues, but not like I don't know if I would like different like serial robes.
• 1:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 1:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was very.
• 1:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was a marriage of convenience, which I like.
• 1:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 1:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just didn't enjoy.
• 1:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I like the first one better because it was new.
• 1:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I don't know.
• 1:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: The second one just wasn't quite as good, but I've heard the third one is the best.
• 1:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I don't know, there was a third one.
• 1:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there was a third one.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: What's it called?
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's three, but it's like, Skythan Tibera, I think it's the red one, though.
• 1:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 1:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jordan said it was her favorite, so I'm excited to listen to it.
• 1:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm listening.
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm reading, fall into temptation by Lucy's score.
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, it was, okay, listen to the names get better.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: The names got so better and it's like, those were mentioned, was in y'all.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: In the first 20 pages of this book, I met someone named Rainbow and someone met Moonbeam.
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: She's asking me like, I cannot read this book, but I can't tell you the last time I read a Lucy scorebook.
• 2:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so I found this one, uh, second tutorials, when we did that like a sale that I did.
• 2:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I accidentally saw because I tried not to read too much about it, but I saw where someone said that it was in still love.
• 2:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: And which it is.
• 2:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then their parents
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: That makes them, like, sepsublings.
• 2:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I thought I was going to be really like, I'm going to t enough this, but I will say, I don't hate it.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I got to like it.
• 2:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you want to something funny?
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: These people in high school with they dated forever, like years, like the six years.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then their parents got together.
• 2:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm erried.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: So they had to break up.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how I feel about that.
• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I stayed together for a while, but like, that's just weird.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I also, as a parent, how'd you do that?
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would not, I was full bad.
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 3:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: But also, like, I, when I read that, someone was like, oh, I don't like that there.
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever, I was like, wait, I'm not going to like this.
• 3:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: And because I think that that's cringy.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it wasn't, it wasn't, it's not bad.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have like 20% left with the book.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right now it's like I have a three year or so.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have some Lucy scorebook.
• 3:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think I put that one on my TBR, but like it was on Kindle.
• 3:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 3:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't Kindle.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's brothers like that.
• 3:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's like a big family thing in this girl who has her stepson.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: She has custody of her stepson.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: And she has a granddaughter.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really like it.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's the mayor and also the lawyer and she just opened up a yoga studio.
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, it's not bad.
• 3:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: I, I like him as the MMC, like he's different than most MMC's talking not MMC's.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 3:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: What did you, what did you rate?
• 4:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Great, big beautiful life.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I gave it a
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just vibe with the four.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: You guys were at a four.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: The vibes were out of four.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: They weren't out of five, but they were out of four, which is solid for Emily Henry, because me and I was my first one.
• 4:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm like, and I'm happy that was your first Emily Henry because a lot of people are hating on that book.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because it's so different than what she normally rides.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because now I'm afraid to like go back and read other Emily Henry books because that's kind of strange.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Don't don't be afraid to read other Emily Henry's, but like, okay.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: This one is definitely not a normal Emily Henry vibe like in the storyline or the romance, both.
• 4:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like this is the first time she's ever written anything remotely like this, like, I don't know.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: My favorite is, I like Beatrice and Booklovers, and like there's, I like the way she writes romance, but her storylines are always hit or miss for me.
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like I like the relationship between the two people.
• 5:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's always the storyline that's hit or miss for me.
• 5:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
• 5:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: So like,
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: People in my vacation is not my favorite and only Henry book.
• 5:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, in the movies coming out, I just don't like storylines that jump for past present.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: And like, what is it?
• 5:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: The, um...
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: My happy place or something like that.
• 5:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't like that one and everybody loves them.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: So like her typical, most favorite of books are not my favorites.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: And her typical like hated books in being ones that I like for some reason.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know why, but yeah.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I put it on there to just like on my TBR just put funny story on there.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I love that one.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have a really.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do have that one.
• 5:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's right.
• 5:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Am I?
• 5:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Am I need to take it with me?
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: This one is great if you have daddy issues.
• 6:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: What?
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not even kidding.
• 6:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: What?
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: This one is great.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's a good love turn because I... What?
• 6:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just shocked her.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I read the description.
• 6:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was not getting daddy issues from the description.
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, this one is fantastic if you have daddy issues.
• 6:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I want to, I want to, that's what I just added to my TBR.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's one of my favorites.
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I like that all of her book covers look the same.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like I like that for her.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do too.
• 6:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: But now I really like I read great big beautiful life right after I read the summer BS too.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you see those were very similar.
• 6:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Very similar.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the summer of yes is by Courtney Walsh.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: And there is a bit more romance and great big beautiful life than the summer of yes.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: But if you liked great big beautiful life,
• 6:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, yeah, with the same like journalist type thing or well Grating beautiful life is like two journalists battling for the same story right where as the summer of yes is a journalist gotten to a car accident and ends up being put in the same hospital room as someone who is dying
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and it ends up being someone she looks up to and wants to write a story, but she says no, so they end up going on a huge summer adventure after she convinces her to, yeah, it's like a whole, it's very similar to where she's trying to write the lady story, but it's it's like different, same vibes different, different story, you know, I've not read anything
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was like, I don't know, like where we're getting told a story about someone while this is all happening.
• 7:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I have really enjoyed that.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I loved all the little, I loved Margaret.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, kind of, but I also hated her at the same time.
• 8:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I feel that because saying, but like I was so interested by the family history part like I love that I was like, oh, tell me all about like this rich American society because it made me think of like the early 1900s when you had like the men who built America and like that whole lifestyle where like that was the first time people lived that way and like yeah had this money and I ate that up because I was like, oh my god, this is my favorite time
• 8:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did too, and like a whole curse thing.
• 8:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Our, yeah.
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't enjoy the M.M.C.
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: very much that Hayden, like I did.
• 8:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then I didn't love him.
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really?
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he was fine.
• 8:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is he what you call grumpy?
• 8:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is he the grumpy of the sunshine?
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 8:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was definitely grumpy and she was sunshine.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 8:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I struggled with that trope and what that actually means.
• 8:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 8:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was definitely grumpy and she was sunshine.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I, um,
• 9:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: He wasn't my favorite, I will say.
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like he grew on me by the end, but even still like.
• 9:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I, I loved Alice though.
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I loved Alice.
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: She was such a good FMC and how in her relationship with her mom was interesting.
• 9:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 9:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: And just her perception of everything that was really interesting to me and just like her sister, I don't know.
• 9:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I loved I loved her like she was really good.
• 9:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm happy with how the end played out with her mom too because I was I was wondering where that storyline was going to go.
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like
• 9:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad we got something out of it.
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like they like there was a result with it.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like this was why I've been this way since your dad is died kind of thing and I'm because I was like what what is her deal like why she like this didn't really like her either.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, I was like, I like Margaret, I like Alice and I knew I knew what was the main Jody.
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I knew she had something to do.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I kind of like that was her daughter.
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then I did too.
• 10:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then I kind of was like, I don't know, the hated thing through me.
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was not expecting that.
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will not expecting that.
• 10:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Although I kind of was like,
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Somehow Hayden has to be related to her like somehow.
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was like she is playing these people and she was like dropping stuff like She was the one who invited him and that like that should have been like a detail that we were like not Me and it didn't but I was really
• 10:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was thrown off that she actually even had a kid because of how the story ended with her going to the hospital and her husband dying.
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
• 10:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did not expect that.
• 10:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like they kept alluding to an accident and I thought that it was going to be later on in their life, not four years after they died married.
• 10:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: That I was like,
• 10:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's awful.
• 10:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know.
• 10:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I cried a lot of things.
• 10:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: But like honestly though, it seemed like he was very stressed out about like the fact.
• 11:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so like I wonder if he didn't die in a car accident, would they've like stayed together or the fame like how pushed them apart is like my thinking.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because she said that he didn't even want to have a kid like he's like, I don't want to bring a kid into this life.
• 11:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was pregnant.
• 11:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this one comment I saw said I would die for a Margot and Hayden interview scene.
• 11:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm so sad that we didn't get a Margaret and Hayden and you Why didn't we like the I don't know because that probably would have shown like too much like we probably Like what Margaret was thinking we might not have been able to know because it would have led on to what I don't know
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: agreed.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I, I was struggling because I didn't have this home.
• 11:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can do so.
• 11:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was writing down quotes.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was listening to it on the audiobook and I saved no quotes.
• 11:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're in fact like this would have been a book and I would have loved to do that in because like there was one quote the hating gave and I was just like I love this.
• 12:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love this so much.
• 12:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: He said I think you live in a world that's more interesting than the one most people live in and I wish I could live in it too.
• 12:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now I love that quote.
• 12:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I love how she brought him out of his shell.
• 12:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
• 12:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was very like OCD.
• 12:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: My team was definitely OCD.
• 12:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I get that because I am also OCD.
• 12:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
• 12:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was definitely yes.
• 12:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love that you're pushing.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like she was like, you're not going to stop those.
• 12:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm going to keep it
• 12:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, one of the things that also hurt me was the, it was the scene where.
• 12:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to remember because the family tree was getting to me like Margaret's entire family tree.
• 12:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was like I need a girl like could you please put a printed diagram in the book?
• 12:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't think so.
• 12:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're needed to be.
• 12:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're needed always so confused.
• 12:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like at the very, I don't know, people would have probably looked at it before, but it was Margaret's mother.
• 13:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: When her father died,
• 13:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: after her stepfather died.
• 13:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right?
• 13:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Isn't that right?
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, is that how that happened?
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because I was like, Oh my gosh, this is awful.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because she said, Why couldn't have been you?
• 13:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Why couldn't you be?
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Who you were supposed to be?
• 13:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, she loved him.
• 13:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: The entire time, even though she got remarried.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: But that whole situation.
• 13:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because then the whole sister thing with
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, Ruthie.
• 13:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm telling you.
• 13:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I should have sort of rise in the sound confused.
• 13:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I agree with you.
• 13:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was so much family history like put in there.
• 13:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: We need a family tree in the beginning of the book.
• 13:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, this goes with it.
• 13:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: But then I guess we would have seen, so she should have done it in the middle.
• 13:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like as we were getting a look, Hayden and her daughter out, just just get me everybody through.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just get me everybody else confused with Lawrence who was her grandfather that started all of it.
• 14:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes.
• 14:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then the sister like he had Lawrence had all these siblings, but it was his sister that he wanted to go back and take care of, but she like married off.
• 14:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: What was her name?
• 14:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is that the name that everybody like that?
• 14:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's Ruth Err.
• 14:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: What was the one name that like you gave someone?
• 14:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you, like, would do anything for them.
• 14:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do you remember that?
• 14:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was the, it was the name of the hotel at one point.
• 14:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it was the name that Hayden's mother had.
• 14:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Nicola, that's what it was.
• 14:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 14:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that was, when that started getting brought in, like, that was, I think Lawrence's sister.
• 14:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, also, apparently the front of the book is an Easter egg.
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: What?
• 14:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because it is, like, one of her glass pieces that she put together, the Nicola.
• 15:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, but I didn't know that, but it looks like a mess.
• 15:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it does.
• 15:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I didn't put that together until I saw that on the TikTok whenever I was looking at stuff.
• 15:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, oh my gosh, it is.
• 15:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love that.
• 15:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 15:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: But that's pretty cool.
• 15:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was really cool.
• 15:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, we love a good Easter egg.
• 15:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: We do love a good Easter egg.
• 15:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 15:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: So with Margaret and her sister, do you think that Margaret was in the wrong for not reaching out to her sister?
• 15:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like that whole dynamic between her and her sister, when she closed herself off for all those years, her sister went off and married the doctor.
• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Cecil?
• 15:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: No.
• 15:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh.
• 15:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: No.
• 15:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's that dude that's in.
• 15:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Wait, the town.
• 15:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Cecil?
• 15:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the guy who was in the town.
• 15:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: He said the sister married Cecil.
• 15:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: And like lived in Europe because they wanted to stay away from all the family drama.
• 15:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do you think the Margaret should have reached out?
• 15:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't know.
• 15:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I could, I was trying not to get frustrated, but I was like, she's also playing victim this whole time.
• 16:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that Margaret should have reached out.
• 16:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I also got mad at Margaret because girl, let me care, stuck on the point where you just got to get over it.
• 16:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
• 16:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: And like, if Jody came and bound her.
• 16:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's her niece.
• 16:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was her niece.
• 16:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 16:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then she was being weird about reaching out in her sister and I'm like, so you're telling me.
• 16:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I find it weird though that,
• 16:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, I guess it makes sense because Jodi says daughter, but like, I found it weird.
• 16:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: That Cecil was part of that, well, it's the very thing I like to not see the like Cecil, whatever his name and like I the way she like snuck him in and then all sudden, that's Jodi's father.
• 16:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was weird.
• 16:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: And also how I found it weird that her sister,
• 16:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: ran off with the doctor and them fell in love with him.
• 16:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: After the first doctor, like, I'm manipulated.
• 17:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: We talk about that.
• 17:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: That I was like, what do you mean she was in a cult?
• 17:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you showed up at a restaurant and saved your sister.
• 17:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, you took a ransom amount of money.
• 17:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was crazy.
• 17:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, okay, we can be slotted cult stuff in here and I'll give me more background.
• 17:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, yes.
• 17:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: there was some wild out of left field things in this book like oh my gosh no wonder you have trauma but right but girl I feel like it was every plot line of any like major
• 17:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: like celebrity story all put into one thing.
• 17:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it was a lot of backstory.
• 17:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like the grandfather finding gold and then buying like all these things to like out compete everybody else around them.
• 17:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm then sending someone else on a wild goose chase when he knows there's gold and I was like oh that was dirty.
• 17:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah he did that dirty.
• 17:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I okay so Lawrence the grandfather do you think the sister?
• 17:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: What's her sister's name?
• 18:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do you think he was weird that she spent so much time with him?
• 18:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, I didn't understand that part though.
• 18:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I understand that they were different.
• 18:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: And like Margaret was much more.
• 18:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to be in the spotlight kind of thing.
• 18:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then Laura, Laura, okay.
• 18:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then she just didn't want it, but
• 18:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I get that because Margaret didn't mind this white light.
• 18:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: She didn't mind the attention on her whereas Laura didn't want the attention on her and I can I can see that because I probably would be the same way like, no, I don't want all this attention on me, but I do find it weird That she went and found like
• 18:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: love in this man who like ended up jimbobbing her.
• 18:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
• 18:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
• 18:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah.
• 18:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that was weird.
• 18:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I can also see where like if her died didn't pay her much attention.
• 19:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then yeah, she'd go to the next available mail, which is her grandpa to find that I've thought it was interesting that like he was like that with her, but he wasn't like that with anyone else.
• 19:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like he was not except for his sister, which I guess maybe she reminded him of her.
• 19:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: But also, it doesn't seem like Margaret took the time to spend with him.
• 19:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, I agree.
• 19:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: So like, it was probably just like, oh, you care about me thing.
• 19:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to automatically be closer to you.
• 19:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Whereas she doesn't, she doesn't care.
• 19:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: She got her own life or own things she's doing.
• 19:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was like a good portrayal when it talked about the Margaret's mother and father and like how they were so happy when they were younger.
• 19:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: they didn't.
• 19:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then they were taking care of by nannies.
• 19:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like that was very like historically appropriate because I feel like that happened in that type of society a lot.
• 19:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but all people saw it was like the glitz and glam of that society.
• 20:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I agree because I don't know that family.
• 20:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: That whole family needs to be in some therapy.
• 20:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: That whole family needed to go to family therapy.
• 20:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was kind of crazy and I kind of loved it, but like also
• 20:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: the way that Alice, I don't know.
• 20:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I liked how Alice pushed Margaret.
• 20:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 20:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: And like, challenged her a little bit because no one, I don't think it ever done that because they'd always wanted Margaret's story, but weren't willing to like, get on her bad side for it.
• 20:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: This question says, despite his feelings for Alice, Hayden doesn't want to cross the lines and say technically competitors for Margaret's story, where your initial thought, what are your initial thoughts on Alice and Hayden do you think they're a good fit?
• 20:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: shot like I got mad at him when that whole first exchange happened and he was like no, we can't do this and even if I did it, I wouldn't want to do it with you.
• 20:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, I'm sorry.
• 20:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really said, I would never talk to him again.
• 20:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
• 20:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Literally.
• 20:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, excuse me, I would have never talked to you again.
• 21:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I buy and how he just knew he was a shoeman for the job and she.
• 21:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, that was like, um, pipe down.
• 21:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, settle down a little bit.
• 21:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Wait, like thank you.
• 21:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Are you actually a shoe
• 21:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, you're actually her grandson.
• 21:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you're actually her nepotism at its finest.
• 21:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I was happy with how it ended and how they had like on Mary.
• 21:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and how to be that was such a good ending.
• 21:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then Laura named the baby after Laura.
• 21:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was very sweet.
• 21:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I did enjoy that.
• 21:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did too.
• 21:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought that was a level of soul circle.
• 21:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I like that it wasn't just like I think it up together.
• 21:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like we got something out of it.
• 21:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And like Margaret was involved in like part of it.
• 21:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 21:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I loved her and hate it and obviously like, I wish we would have gotten more with Margaret and Hayden is my only issue.
• 21:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I wish now knowing that that's her grandson, I wish we would have gotten more Margaret and Hayden in this book.
• 21:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that can be like a bonus scene.
• 22:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe Emily, you want to give us a bonus?
• 22:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because now I feel like I have questions, you know, because I'm left with more questions after the epilogue, like, okay, what did their reconciliation look like?
• 22:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: How long did it take?
• 22:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Is she talking to his mother?
• 22:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
• 22:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like give me something, right?
• 22:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because like his family being like big time in their town or whatever.
• 22:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, it was funny that they were like the curse followed her even after she was adopted.
• 22:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: The curse followed her.
• 22:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I will say, when I read the description of the book, I thought it was going to be like their comparing notes and they're trying to piece together of mystery.
• 22:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like I thought that's what was going to happen, but we got nothing from Hayden, nothing like nothing other than he was like I know she's lying to me.
• 22:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: and you can't see my notes right and I want to know I was really confused when he was like just look at that picture of Cecil and tell me what I was like when we get down here I'm so confused I didn't get it until she flat out was like I didn't get it either I mean I knew it obviously had to be something but like I didn't get it either no that's literally your brother-in-law.
• 23:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's literally what Hayden's
• 23:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like what?
• 23:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, a family tree.
• 23:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just the whole way that also Alice found Margaret, I was like, is this realistic?
• 23:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, how did you, but then I make sense that Jodie emailed her and was like, you need to come here.
• 23:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Which I thought was interesting.
• 23:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I knew the whole time, matchmaker, right?
• 23:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And just the way that her and Margaret were, I was like, there has to be more to their relationship.
• 23:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then just she's your,
• 23:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like all Emily and Ray's books are kind of like have a deeper meaning like that, but this is like the deepest book.
• 23:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really.
• 23:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is the deepest one she's got.
• 23:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really enjoyed it.
• 23:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I loved the, I think the historical part to it, like just the whole like family story, I loved it.
• 24:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Do not go into funny story.
• 24:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Think it's this kind of thing.
• 24:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 24:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's fine.
• 24:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, at least I know I had a time.
• 24:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was trying to think I was like, okay, could this be done as a movie?
• 24:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because she has a lot of stuff that's getting taken to the screen.
• 24:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do feel like this one would make a good and different movie.
• 24:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did too, but then,
• 24:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: In my head, like, I would want her to recreate the story that markets telling like flashbacks, and I don't know if, like, that could be done properly.
• 24:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure I could, I thought, like, I'm sure it could be, but I think it'd make a really good movie.
• 24:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it would be to make a good movie.
• 24:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want to read people we meet on vacation before I watch it.
• 24:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: You can, you're not missing anything, but you can.
• 24:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'd be an F.D.
• 24:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know that's gonna get me hate, but I don't mind.
• 24:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of hate.
• 24:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't like it.
• 24:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
• 24:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna watch the movie because I feel like with past present and stuff like that, I feel like I will like it more.
• 25:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 25:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: As a movie and not just reading it, but I got so bored reading it.
• 25:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: So bored reading it.
• 25:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: That I quit reading it.
• 25:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: That makes me upset.
• 25:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was really surprised at how fast I read this paper copy of a book right I read it in like four to half days.
• 25:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was shocked funny story Beech read and booklovers are my top three others that I've read.
• 25:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I don't even try to think there's another one that I was because I was reading a blog post about like things that were being adopted adapted into films And she had quite a few
• 25:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Was it B?
• 25:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: No.
• 25:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Was it, um, it was one happy, like, what's a happy place?
• 25:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, it's really other than people we meet on vacation.
• 25:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: There was another one that was like, it has been confirmed, but there's no plans for it.
• 25:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, people with we meet on vacation is being filmed right now.
• 25:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 26:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's, is it done filming?
• 26:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: It might be, I think it, oh, it might become a out in January on Netflix.
• 26:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I have to have a, I've been watching.
• 26:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 26:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember, I need to find that blog post because there's a lot of stuff that's being adapted into films and I love that we're adapting these like booklovers, that's what it says booklovers, yeah, but there's not like a confirmation of like a yeah, okay, that's what I thought which was one of my favorites, I love booklovers really yeah, but next slide.
• 26:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm really excited about this.
• 26:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Next month we're reading Dyer Bound.

  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm very excited.
• 26:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm kind of curious to sit sit, Wolpes.

  [SPEAKER_00]: If it's Omega-verse, please tell us no.

  [SPEAKER_00]: It might be.
• 26:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually, wait, is there already a second one out?
• 26:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, if you're rebound.
• 26:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: How many are there?
• 26:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's two.
• 27:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: is a duality.
• 27:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if it's a duality or not, but I think it's just too.
• 27:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Also main Kaylee, you're going to have to start like vetting these choices because I'll be picking these 600 page books.
• 27:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't mean to.
• 27:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know it was.
• 27:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it's hot on the book talk right now.
• 27:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's.
• 27:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited.
• 27:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like enemies to lovers.
• 27:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, some sort of like military school.
• 27:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, but please don't be on winks.
• 27:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a little spicy, is that I'm sure that there has something with the amagabras.
• 27:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no.
• 27:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 27:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, if you've know what we're talking about, please tell us which chapters I can skip.

• 27:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And for again, um, May is coming out this month, which one may or at the end of October Yeah, October because I went through and I was looking at new romance sequel releases that are coming out or not sequel, but like once that are in the series and

  [SPEAKER_01]: We read for our little pixie.
• 28:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, our pools.
• 28:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I read it happened on the Sunday by Tracy Wolf and it was very much giving Travis and Taylor.
• 28:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of those so much.
• 28:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because she is like the super huge pop star and he is a quarterback of a major football team.
• 28:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was going to say a way how old are they.
• 28:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 28:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Goes to the pick us to the super bowl and everything in the pool.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, literally Taylor and Travis vibes except she believes that she's not going to know for anybody in her past two boyfriends have died.
• 28:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: So everybody calls her the black widow, but she feeds on her prey.
• 29:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he's like this golden boy of the NFL.
• 29:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's interesting.
• 29:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: The ending though, I didn't love the ending.
• 29:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I gave it four stars.
• 29:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: but I didn't love the ending because it was very unrealistic.
• 29:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Very unrealistic, like girl.
• 29:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was just like, I read an unrealistic ending.
• 29:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I, the end of the whole author.
• 29:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, it's just an end of the, haha.
• 29:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, well, I hate unrealistic endings.
• 29:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Same.
• 29:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's really annoying because I'm just like, yes, I'm reading about dragons, but I mean, if it's real people would that are not fair,
• 29:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: immortal like I need a realistic ending right well i listened to ever quaint i'm this is the second time that i've read something and then listen to the next thing it was strange there ability to like the girl in the guy that read both pavis there in personations of male and female like of that like if the girl was trying to be the boy i was like that's what i sound like like i need a jaw to be a little bit more like
• 30:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know, but it was still really good.
• 30:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I liked the Evercoin.
• 30:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think I liked the Everking more But it was a good doology now.
• 30:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will say.
• 30:19
