Our first interview episode of 2021! Jennifer and I talk about the detailed and reflective memoir THE TENDER BAR by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist J.R. Moehringer. What happens when a boy is raised by a single mother and a bar full of rowdy characters in Long Island? Moehringer takes us on a journey through his childhood, adolescence, and post-college life in the midst of all this. Along the way, Jennifer and I also talk about representation in middle grade fiction, drinking culture, and our love for Fleetwood Mac. If you haven't heard of this memoir, don't worry, neither had I! It was an interesting read and we had a great time diving in.
