Gang! We are finally back with our sixth and final episode in our LGBTQ+ series – this time with Ciara Smyth’s warm and affecting “The Falling In Love Montage”
This is just the way we wanted to finish our toughest series yet – with a strawberry sorbet of sexual tension, class one-liners and a chewy centre of aniseed flavoured existential angst (I think we can all agree that is exactly how angst tastes, fight me in the carpark later if you disagree. In discussing said flavour bomb of romantic same-sex awesome, the girls get into:
- How refreshing it is (See? Strawberry sorbet!) after all the tough and US dominated reads we’ve had over the last few months, to have a current Irish love story based around someone that is the same age as the girls with the same concerns we have. Except maybe her super-hot summer girlfriend. We don’t have that... Unfortunately...
- How we can get caught up in having answers and working towards huge life goals, at the expense of our own happiness and well-being
- How that, when you start to get over that and open yourself up to experiences - despite romance being very much alive, true love may not conquer all
- And that’s not the worst thing in the world. Not really
- Clee and Sarah share how Saoirse (book Saoirse, not our Sersh – they say their names differently, it’ll make more sense when you listen to it) and her experience of family life resonated with them on a very deep level
- Oh and Ruby being the ACTUAL hotness
Tangents? Sure thing:
- Well K has written what might be our forever theme tune which is VERY exciting!
- Chloe, naturally, went on a 5 minute monologue about JK’s see-through pyjamas he insisted on wearing on a Live cast a few weeks ago (she’s okay. Just about)
- She did also share her thoughts after re-reading Twilight not that long ago (disclaimer: Chlo-Chlo was disappointed)
- Clee shares her experiences with people treating her like she’s “Hetero-Girl Classic (now in cherry flavour!)” when she’s actually anything but
- And, of course, how we can’t figure out what it is we liked about Love, Actually in the first place. Except maybe that Joni Mitchell song...
It's all here on our latest episode of Chick Lit 4 Life!
