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?

Reflection: Fairest

Mary finally reads a book, but at what cost? This week’s book is Fairest by Gail Carson Levine, aka the Snow White AU nobody asked for and another contender for worst book on the podcast. Not only does the story make no sense and filled with weak world-building that basically amounts to just giving things weird names, it’s also filled with terrible messages about body image and self esteem. Truly it’s a miracle if you made it out of this book without a whole new set of insecurities. Highlights of the book include centaurs that are basically just horses, random singing (from us and the characters), and everything having a weird-ass name for no reason. Honestly, just go watch Shrek 2 instead.
