61 - Time for another happy hour chatting about The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins. This week we're...taking it easy and drinkin' A Glass of Wine.  It's par for the course in an episode where we realize in real time that Brandi thought she'd read all of the pages....but didn't.  We speculate some more on Brandi's theory from last week, play a fun little game called The Top Ten Completely Insane Red Flags Jane Ignores, and we talk about parts of our lives that we would want to stay the same if we somehow became overnight successes.  

Pages Discussed:  Chapters 21-28
Next Week:  We finish this dang book!
