Summary

Happy April! This month we are recapping and discussing one of our most polarizing books yet, Big Swiss by Jen Beagin. This book was a Dana's choice and it was very Dana's choice-y. The hosts are debating whether or not this was the best book they've ever read or the worst. As always, they're answering your questions and casting a potential Hollywood version of this book.

The next book is Margo's choice and she chose The Magnolia Palace by Fiona Davis.

The overall Readheads rating for Big Swiss is 3.375.

0:00.0	Welcome back redheads to another episode of the redheads book club April edition. This is your April Fools episode because our April Fools connoisseur Dana got to pick the book this month, and I would say it was a joke.
0:17.0	Was it so fucking true?
0:22.0	No, it was not a joke. I'm really really excited to talk about this book with you guys. We have not discussed it separately offline at all, and I don't know what today's episode is going to be, but I have a feeling.
0:36.0	I know some tensions might fly, but before we get into all of the drama surrounding this month's book, I want to check in with my girly swirlies because it's been a month since we dropped our last redheads and so much can change in a month.
0:53.0	So let's start with Dana because you are April Queen. How are you?
0:59.0	I'm great. Thanks for asking, Jacks. March is my favorite month, so sad to see it and why is March your favorite month because of March madness and Rebecca's birthday, of course, but I just like, are you love Pisces?
1:14.0	Are you enjoying how things are shaking out for March madness?
1:19.0	I mean, my bracket is so screwed, but I think that stands for everybody since there was no number one team in the final four this year.
1:26.0	Our Colgate friend, Alexandra Burnett, won because she was the only person who picked you, so I love that for her. Always happy to shell it out for that kind of winner.
1:35.0	How much does the winner win in your pool?
1:38.0	$700.
1:41.0	That's not something. That's what you get for having a big group of friends. You get to have a really big pool.
1:46.0	And I do winner takes all, which people think is psychotic, but you know, I like to maximize the price.
1:51.0	What do other people do? Like they split it up based on who first, second, third?
1:55.0	First. Yeah, exactly.
1:56.0	No, I like winner takes all and also I know so many people who you texted and forced to join your bracket, like didn't even join like me.
2:05.0	So that's pretty cool that you still got $700 worth of participants.
2:10.0	Thank you so much. Yes, Claudia was the representative from the Ashery Flam and she was actually in first place for a long time.
2:16.0	Like she held out for a few weeks.
2:18.0	I actually think if I had joined up, I might have done really well because I would have chosen the Florida teams.
2:24.0	And they went really far.
2:27.0	Yeah, it's not true. You obviously would have won.
