We discuss the various elements of this transition for Maddie including her questionable flatmates and dating experiences! We loved this book and hope you enjoy the discussion!

In this episode we discuss "The List" the instant Sunday

We really enjoyed this book and in this episode mainly focus on what we thought of various characters, especially Michael and Ola, the protagonist couple. We break down why we think they acted the way they did as well as linking it to contemporary conversations around how we use the internet and cancel culture. Make sure you've read the book before listening so as to avoid spoilers!

That isn't enough for her mother and aunties though because there is no husband! In preparation for her cousins wedding, Yinka decides to find a date as a means of relieving some of the pressure. We discuss this pressure to get married that is extremely common in ethnic minority communities as well as the colourism and texturism Lizzie depicts as she describes Yinka's dating experiences.
