June 01, 2021 The Cheerleaders Part II
It's Part II of The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas!
This episode we keep getting more and more information that suggests the car accident, murders, and suicide from five years ago may actually be related. I am not fully convinced but I do talk about all my crazy theories at the end of the episode.
I hope you have enjoyed this journey so far, and I look forward to finishing this voyage next week!
Until we sail again.

May 04, 2021 The Cousins | Ch. 9–16
In this episode, we cover Chapters 9–16 (Pages 120–214) of The Cousins by Karen M. McManus. What looks like a relatively short section quickly turns into one of the wildest parts of the book so far. As Milly, Aubrey, and Jonah continue investigating the Story family's past, new information begins connecting pieces of a decades-old mystery. Between shocking discoveries, a death that raises even more questions, and an ending that had me fully screaming, the story takes a major turn.
