This episode we discuss Betsy Haynes's The Against Taffy Sinclair Club (maybe our favorite book so far?) The gang spends a lot of time talking about you-know-whats (boobs), being hot for teacher, pre-teen fundraising, the embarrassments of puberty, and hot school lunches. Josh's dad has a chili pepper; Jessica's dad has no chili pepper (and maybe no heart?) This episode's tangents: all the authors named Neal, Coldplay, Frank Ocean, designated podcasting t-shirts.

Next episode we'll discuss R.L. Stine's Halloween Night. Follow us on Instagram @areyoutherepod.
