Hey Book Besties!

The girls have a great episode in-store for you. So great, we have to spilt it to two parts. The girls chat with Jayda's friend, John Jardin, who is a literary agent for THE Heather Gay of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Heather just released her memoir ( Bad Mormon) and John had a front row view of the process. The trio talked in-depth about the three Bs: Books, Bravo, and Bad Mormon. 

But first, Jayda tells the story of her meeting Tia Williams ( for the second time), and the girls get into about what books they are reading to celebrate Black authors during Black History Month.

Episode 4 is fully dedicated to the Bachelor in Paradise Finale! There's so much we have to cover that we decided to bring in two of our friends to help us out.
