In Episode 94, Gen and Jette discuss their latest book club book \u2014 Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo. We couldn't stop talking about the style and structure of this novel written in verse. Acevedo writes such a full and vivid narrative even with her pared back style and we're in awe.

\nShow Notes
\nKeep an eye out for Elizabeth Acevedo's newest book, still untitled, expected to be released next year.
\nYahaira's wonderful girlfriend's name is Dre and we love her makeshift fire escape garden.
\nWe absolutely loved the way Acevedo used the visual layout of the words on the page to emphasize different words, phrases, and scenes. It got us thinking back to our episode about Because the Sun by Sarah Burgoyne.
\nOur next book club book is the thriller Home Before Dark by Riley Sager. We'll be discussing it in our first episode of July.
\nNext episode we'll be doing another genre breakdown, this time talking science fiction. It's a genre that covers a lot of ground and we can't wait to dive in.
