This week we’re reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Malibu Rising, both by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

We’re talking car crashes we can’t look away from, why you should be wary of white wall tyres, and men who love hysterical women.

We’re also talking the patterns that repeat themselves in families, bi-erasure, and attention seeking.

While Holly hunts down all the easter eggs, Harley is pulling knitting from her knickers.
