We\'ve done our homework and we\'re ready to chat about books that we\'ve both hyped up and ACTUALLY finished. It\\u2019s our much-in-demand homework report episode!

We\\u2019re providing updates on texts that we briefly discussed at the top of the show over the last few months in order to let you know if they\'re worth your time.

We also address managing expectations for an author\\u2019s new & different work when you\\u2019ve loved their past texts, pondering the correct entry point to get into Adam Silvera\\u2019s writing, struggling with Netflix\\u2019s creative decisions as Disney+ looms on the horizon and the need for YA to step up and address abortion, especially at this crucial moment in time. Plus: giggles from Brenna\\u2019s toddler and sirens outside Joe\\u2019s downtown apartment!
