While we’re still on our winter break, we wanted to revisit one of the most compelling reads from the past year—Jessica Evans’ The Muse. This modern variation had both Emilie and Alicia fully hooked, but it also raised some serious ethical questions.

From power dynamics to shifting social standards, we dug deep into how these themes impact our enjoyment of variations. Is this something all modern adaptations will have to grapple with? And why, despite our reservations, could we not put this book down??

If you missed this episode the first time around, now’s the perfect time to catch up! And if you’ve already read The Muse, we’d love to hear your thoughts :)
