Hannah is unwell. Laura is crushed. You guessed it! They're reading Jade Legacy by Fonda Lee! This week they cover the first third of the plot and groan a lot over a certain character's love life. They also chat about some sci-fi/manga that Laura has been reading, bookstagram darlings, and a psychological book that Hannah loved!

Apologies for some breaks in sound on Laura's end. Rural internet access is not great...

Hannah and Laura have been personally victimized by Fonda Lee's book Jade Legacy. It's made them cry so many tears, especially during this final section of the plot. They also chat about a reality tv show that is baffling Laura, a book club book that Hannah found extremely frustrating, and there's also lots of period talk.
Plot section begins at 46m50sec.
