(and lots of time spent refreshing Twitter!)

January 07, 2020 64 - Scruples by Judith Krantz
Catch us drinking framboise and pousse-cafes and calling each other "toothsome dishes." Just kidding, we did none of those while discussing Judith Krantz's debut novel Scruples, but the novel does make those sound fun. There's some silliness and some wildly offensiveness on display here, and we try to discuss as much as we can. Explicit warning here, as you might have guessed!

Our next book discussion will be Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.
