It's time for us to cover one of the most famous romance series in modern history, the first book of a series that shaped erotica in the 2010s...Fifty Shades Of Grey... In this episode, Brooke defends the genre of "mommy porn" and she shares her thoughts on society dismissing media liked by women.

This week's read is Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James...and don't worry, we'll be covering the rest of the books, and their predecessor-ish series Twilight, later on.

Bridgett and Brooke also get to tell Ian how this book series is a part of a larger domino effect.
