Join Mary and Renee as they jump back into the world of 2000s and 2010s Young Adult Fiction. Each week, they discuss a different YA book from their youth and pose hard hitting questions: Why aren't any of these characters in therapy? Is this incest? Why were we so obsessed with toxic vampire boys? Each episode is full of laughs, absurd teen drama, memories of the early 2000s, and a cat who is hellbent on derailing this production. Tune in weekly to see if Mary and Renee can every answer the ultimate question: Why a book?

Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down: 13 Days to Midnight

Renee is tired of lighthearted teen books, so she whips out a weird one for this week. 13 Days to Midnight tells the story of Jacob, a 15 year old who tragically witnesses his dad die and gains the power of invincibility in the process. With his friend Milo and the new manic pixie dream girl Ophelia, he starts finding ways to use this power. Things go terribly wrong. This book that is so obviously written by a man just includes a lot of death, a stupid teen relationship, and Harry Houdini.
While discussing this book, Mary has horrible flashbacks to the Netflix adaptation of Death Note. Other shenanigans ensue but Renee can't remember them right now because it's 6 AM as she writes this. Listen to the episode to discover what antics we get up to this week!
Episode source material: 13 Days to Midnight by Patrick Carman.
