This week's "Chapter" is a doozy! Brenna and Joe struggle through Lauren Oliver's breakout 2010 novel Before I Fall and the 2017 film adaptation of the same name by Ry Russo-Young. Tackling questions about character likability, white privilege, redemption arcs, the financial viability of killing your protagonist and a quick discussion of Vancouver housing prices, this may just be the week that breaks Brenna!

Also: we introduce three new YA BINGO squares, Brenna highlights Paperback Crush by Gabrielle Moss and Joe goes off on J.K. Rowling's bad screenplay for the new Fantastic Beasts film "The Crimes of Grindelwald".
