This week, we read The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake 

This novel, made popular by TikTok and Instagram, follows six talented individuals with special gifts who must battle it out to earn a place in the highly coveted Alexandrian Society. 

Ella Kopeikin, who thought the threesome in this book was the most well-written scene, joins me today to talk about a book that missed the mark on so many levels. 

In this episode we cover: 

• Why this book got a total of three stars from BOTH Jenna and Ella


• Why we really hated each and every character equally


• How a plot twist couldn’t even save this book

Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that will have you wondering if you should read the sequel, but the answer is probably no. 

Mentioned in the Pairings section of the podcast:

• DRINK: Full Moontini, Absinthe


• TV SHOW - Marvel’s Runaways, Gossip Girl


• BOOK - Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, The Maidens, The Last Thing He Told Me, The Institute


• MOVIE - The Kingsman: The Secret Service, Suspiria
