October 03, 2025 Almost What Susannah Would Have Wanted
It's no secret Raj is a fan of teen tv shows and this Summer a lot of grown women joined her on that so this is the official (unofficial) GROWN WOMEN debrief of Jenny Han's nostalgia fueled hit Prime series The Summer I Turned Pretty.
WARNING: Raj is Team Jeremiah, if you're a Conrad girl, you might not like this
Women in their later 30's +40's get into why it had millennial women in a chokehold, why they identify as Team Conrad/Jere/Belly/Paris, their thoughts on the other teams, hot takes, what they wanted to see in the series, what they want to see in the movie.
This could have easily been a 4 hour episode. Forgive me not making the Thursday deadline - I was editing all night!
