And we're back! The girls' second book of Series 5 on LGBTQ+ authors is Ilana Masad's stunning "All My Mothers Lovers".
In discussing possibly our most divisive main character to date, the girls talk:
- Said divisive main character - is Maggie super selfish or just grieving the loss of her mother in her own way?
- How the grieving process can have you come to terms with your parents' humanity, often too late
- the reality of desire - and how we can be boxed in by what qualities are "acceptable" to be attracted to
- We also get into the differences between the Hindu god Shiva and the Jewish tradition of shiva. Which is not something I thought I'd ever be typing.
Are there tangents?
Why do you ask questions you definitely know the answer to?
- We have some Miocic Ngannou pregame excitement and a plug for The Bash with Petesy and Niall if that's what you're into
- Some discussion on Chloe's granny sounding like the most terrifying person ever
- BTS not getting a Grammy but we have their upcoming Japanese album to look forward to
- But despite that, we can't co-opt Takeshi Murakami's intellectual property just because it flawlessly symbolises everything J-Hope is. Oh man we love him so much
For all that, PLUS an update on whether Deano has returned to the Two Tyres One Chain family (#ComeHomeDeano) tune in to the latest episode of Chick Lit 4 Life!
