This week, the girls are discussing The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, a World War II historical fiction. How much suffering and sadness in a story is too much? Is Isabelle reduced to a stereotype because she found love in a time of war? Does Vianne suffer more than her sister, even though their stories end so differently?

It’s one day after the release of Crescent City 3: House of Flame and Shadow, and the girls are discussing books 1 and 2 for a pregame refresher.

Grab a snack and settle in– this conversation cuts deep.

Is Hook truly morally black, and where does Wendy fall in the narrative?
