Series 5 Episode 3: Juliet Takes A Breath Chick Lit 4 Life: A Bookish Podcast
-
- Books
And we're back!
The girls' third book of Series 5 on LGBTQ+ authors is Gabby Rivera's joyous "Juliet Takes a Breath".
While fangirling over, quite possibly the most lovable main character we have ever come across, the girls talk:
- First and foremost, how we CANNOT HANDLE how much we love Juliet. Seriously. Why is she fictional? We need to hang out with her IMMEDIATELY
- Juliet's journey after she comes out, and how her foundation of love with her family makes it even more affecting
- How Juliet's tendency to get overwhelmed, freak out, but then do the thing anyway makes her our actual hero, move over Beyoncé
- How through doing that, Juliet identifies and creates her own relationship with feminism
- Speaking of feminism, Juliet (and hence the girls) talk about where white lady feminism falls short
- Not to mention all of the super-gross parts of ourselves and our behaviour we came across in that discussion
- Plus our further fangirling over Titi Wepa and cousin Ava, Kira The Hot Librarian ™, and a lot of oversharing on how Juliet's Mam, as an imperfect, loving mother, makes us cry like bitches
Oh, you want to hear about the tangents? Well...
- Chloe goes in unnecessary depth into the BangBangCon experience and the gif-only conversation she and Clee had during it
- Clee can't speak spanish (we disagree) and Chloe can't say many of the words for "vagina" (we heartily disagree)
- Though we should use this opportunity to say this week's episode has some stronger language than usual, listener discretion is advised
- Oh and speaking of listener discretion...
- We found out during recording that our very own Katie Murphy has guest written some sexy fanfic with LC's baby sister @btsfantasty on Instagram. She is not happy that we know about it, but that is part of the fun
All that and muchos fangirling over how much we seriously want to be best mates with Juliet despite her fictional status, on this episode of Chick Lit 4 Life!
