Show Notes
Time for our first Book Club of the year! Best Offer Wins by Marisa Kashino was such an exciting read, and we can't wait to discuss!
We talk about how we relate to the house hunting process in this book, what makes an unlikable main character work, and the story's class dynamics, twists, ending, and more!
If you want to read something similar, books that came to mind include A Good Person by Kirsten King in March, and All The Other Mothers Hate Me by Sarah Harman, and Julie Chan Is Dead by Liann Zhang.

Becca's upcoming book Back Where We Started, which is set partially on the set of a 2010's teen soap, got us feeling nostalgic and inspired to talk about the early 2010s! We chat about what our lives were like during that era, the pop culture touchstones that stick out to us, our celeb crushes, celebrity ships, iconic albums, the launch of Instagram, and more!
We can't wait to talk about our September Book Club Pick, Main Characters by Bobby Palmer! Keep listening to hear about our thoughts on the novel's 80+ point of view format, how it tackled the interplay of motherhood and ambition, and if we were convinced the main characters were "meant to be." Plus, the one POV we felt was missing!
