We are kind of obsessed with this book and we may or may not have sat in a vegan restaurant for an hour talking about it. Small note: I mention here that lil nas x had a court date the next day.... All I have to say about that is that I am incredibly gullible. It was a marketing ploy— He just released a music video. It was a damn good music video though.

We talk about Catch-22!! We LOVED this book but the question still looms: was the sexism part of the satire? All that and more in this riveting take on a book whose author would probably drop dead if he knew these teenage girls liked it so much. Note that my phone overheated in the sun and it cut us off but we were mostly done anyways. This is just an unedited straightforward conversation so plz enjoy :’)

If I were you I would listen to this at like 2x playback speed because I speak kind of slowly and somberly. And it is long. But what can I say? It’s because I have a lot of feelings about this book that I don’t even think I really articulated well, and I don’t think I ever will because it’s like that important to me? Also I know I said the “rapid-fire” whatever was cut down from ten minutes.. and then I proceeded to talk for ten minutes. Just know I really tried. Okay, here’s the table of contents:

•“Rapid fire” summary- 0:56

•Complaining about the audiobook even though I listened to it for like 10 hours- 11:43

•Quotes and analysis- 13:45

•Very quick thoughts on EMMA. (2020)- 28:12

•Clueless- 30:38

•Secret messages only for Lydia and Riane- 42:09

Things I learned in this episode: 1. Conan Gray singing about loneliness hits different during quarantine 2. I am a really messy baker, so therefore 3. This was a bad idea. (Also: while editing I realized that I say “Conan Gray” really weirdly for some reason...so I apologize for that)
