Chelsea is joined by Smart Bitches Trashy Books host Sarah Wendell to break down Danielle Steel’s unhinged 2013 dog memoir “Pure Joy.” Spoiler alert! It’s not really about the dogs. They unpack Danielle’s FIVE marriages, her habit of surprise dog-gifting, and a 20-hour writing schedule that explains everything and nothing all at once. Plus, poop politics and a ranking system for dogs so tough, her first dog didn’t even make the dedication page.

Trigger warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including suicide and sexual assault. Take care while listening, and find helpful resources here.
