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?

You Belong with Me: The Summer I Turned Pretty
Thursday Jul 01, 2021

This week is all about summer vibes and lackluster characters. Renee takes us through Jenny Han's soon to be TV adapted book The Summer I Turned Pretty. The story follows Belly (you read that right) as she navigates the world of teen love, and reminisces on the summers that have shaped her into the girl she now is. She also slut shames her best friend for trying to have a Hot Girl Summer. That's right, Jenny Han invented Hot Girl Summer.
Other stand out moments include a stalker boy who is not portrayed as problematic and Mary teaches Renee some shocking news about Justin Timberlake.
We finally have a book where the author knows what she's talking about when featuring Latin, but at what cost?
