This week we're reading Three Women by Lisa Taddeo.
We're talking the nuances of complex trauma, the fear of being alone and the often easier reality of being single.
We're talking desire disrupted, discovered and dissected.
Holly is breaking the no non fiction rule she made up for herself and Harley is in her feelings and getting ... passionate.

This week we’re reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes – The Hunger Games prequel – by Suzanne Collins.

We’re talking the things that don’t quite land, how hard it is to write a prequel and getting trapped by the magic of a hit series.

We’re also talking about the difference between characters you love and people you like, some of the easter eggs we were hoping to find in the novel and whether or not the musical element will land in the film adaption.

Harley is once again plotting the novel she wishes she’d read and Holly is trying to figure out who’s manipulating who in this story.

We're talking the power of young adult fiction, the pitfalls of publishing too fast and plots that don't quite land.
We're also talking the power of editing, why sometimes the solution is to steal better and all the things we wish we could do better.
Holly is wondering about whether or not the author has ever met an actual Australian and Harley is ranting about dogs on planes (it's related. We swear!).

This week we're finishing our review of Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng.
We're talking books that make you question yourself, the casting call for the Amazon Prime miniseries and using favours to get power over people.
We're also talking the subtle brilliance of Celeste Ng's storytelling, the weight of impossible decisions and the dangers of prescriptive community planning.
Harley's giving Marvel credit both on and offscreen and Holly is binge watching the streaming adaption. Neither will be relocating to Shaker Heights.
