Hello, hope you’re all keeping well during these dog days of summer. We’re back with another new episode (minus one cohost) covering all things dark thrillers, historical fiction, and literary debuts. But before the books, of course the girls get into the three fictional characters who they most relate to! The fish may or may not have asked a similar question before, so if they’re getting forgetful in this heat, we apologize for the deja vu! But thank you so much for listening <3 don’t forget to grab your copy of Kayla’s August fan club book club pick, Every Summer After by Carley Fortune, and join Kayla after Labor Day.
