You heard it here first, summer’s not over yet so grab your BATC summer merch and join the girls as they spiral into some deep beach/ocean/river talk and all the accompanying aquatic creatures. After that, naturally, we chat about the weirdest things currently in our fridge (Becky starts us off with a doozy). Then, we’ve got a cute romcom, a dark fairytale retelling, and an award-winning literary fiction winner. Thank you so much for listening!
