    For the Girls: The Best Female Characters & Books About Womanhood

    This week’s episode is for the girls! We’re celebrating the female characters who live rent-free in our heads and the books that capture the many layers of girlhood and womanhood. From messy and morally gray icons to tender portrayals of friendship, ambition, motherhood, and female rage, we’re diving into the stories that made us feel seen. We talk about some of our favorite women in fiction, the books that best capture the female experience, and why certain characters resonate so deeply with readers.

    Book Club Discussion: Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green

    This month in book club, we’re discussing Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green — a deeply human look at one of the world’s oldest and deadliest diseases. Green blends history, science, and personal narrative to explore how tuberculosis has shaped culture, inequality, and the modern world in ways we rarely stop to consider. In this episode, we unpack what surprised us most, the moments that hit hardest, and how this book changed the way we think about global health, privilege, and storytelling itself. Our March Book Club Pick is Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren. This one is extra special because it’s a reread for Scarlett — and if you’ve been listening for a while, you know she has been trying to get Jenae to read this book for so long. The pining. The dual timelines. The childhood best friends to strangers to… more. It’s tender and nostalgic and quietly devastating in the best way.

    We’re discussing character construction, emotional labor, masculinity in modern sports romance, and the evolution of intimacy across the series. Yes, we’re ranking the books.

    Guessing Books by Their One-Star Reviews

    In this episode, we guess books based on their one-star reviews. We read some of the most dramatic, harsh, and occasionally unhinged critiques, try to figure out which book they’re about, and talk through why these stories inspired such strong reactions in the first place. Join us in February as we read Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green. Blending history, science, and personal storytelling, Green traces the long and complicated story of tuberculosis—past and present, while asking bigger questions about global health, inequality, and what we owe one another in the face of preventable suffering.
