STOP SCROLLING; read Plath.
Join Holly, Nick, and Melissa this week for poetry readings, classical conditioning, and trying to figure out why there will never be a crossover of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. From Sylvia Plath to Taylor Frankie Paul, we digress on women just doing their best.
