We kick off this week with a lively catch up. Steph details the latest drama with the plumber at the renovation house (and makes a big reveal). She also tells us about volunteering at two different barns. Kaitlin recaps her re-retirement party from teaching and gushes about the recent Normal People viewing party with Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar Jones. Molly insists everyone try the burrata and smashed avocado salad at Josephine and gets all the feels talking about the official start to summer in Hull. Then we deep dive on a book we all really enjoyed, This Golden State. We talk about the line between YA and adult fiction, the power of deep family bonds, the joy of first love, our hope that this becomes a TV series, and our wish for a second book to continue following these complex characters.
