Yes, we're doing it, we're talking about Heated Rivalry. If you follow us on Instagram you already know that this series has eaten Gen's brain, so it only seemed fitting that we do an official episode.

We're talking about the first two books in Rachel Reid's Game Changers series and the TV adaptation. So hop into Shane's very normal, practical car with us, we're going to the cottage.

Show Notes

This is our longest episode yet, surprising precisely no one, because Gen physically can't shut up about these boys.

Are we going to end up doing an episode on the rest of this series? Probably. Will we wait for Season 2 to drop? That depends how soon we get it.

This show is so Canadian. We're so proud.

The seventh book in the series, Unrivaled, (yes, another Ilya and Shane book!) drops on September 29 of this year. Pre-orders are already open, but if you go here, you already know that.

Canada Dry forever, especially the mini cans.

Our next episode is our annual Jame Baldwin episode. This year we're talking about his short story collection, Going to Meet the Man.

And don't forget to read along with our book club pick, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk.
