How do we feel about Natalie? What does it all MEAN!? Join us for this discourse on tradwives, the life of being an influencer (and weird parts we relate to?) and how an ending can make us completely re-think the way we feel about a book on the whole.

There's going to be a lot of spoilers in this because there have to be spoilers.

0:33.6

And I have found since I read it, the ending has actually completely colored how I feel about the rest of the book in not a good way. I don't, I'm not particularly like bugged by trad wife influencers. I think they're like, like, they kind of make me laugh. You don't think they're like setting, you don't think they're like setting you don't think they're like setting feminism back

0:55.2

50 years I don't because I actually think what they're doing is feminist in that they are

1:56.6

Totally. The only thing I will say is and maybe this is because we're also on Instagram.
