Summary

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6Na2UkzFL8yHDL3G5BFMVc?si=923b6e8b022442d7 Hello, book clubbers! This month, we read Monica Heisey’s debut novel: Really Good, Actually. The book is told through the eyes of Maggie - a 29-year-old whose marriage ended just 608 days after it started. Sure, she’s alone for the first time in her life, can’t afford her rent and her obscure PhD is going nowhere, but she’s reaaaally good. As Maggie throws herself headlong into the chaos of her first year of divorce, she finds herself questioning absolutely everything. Big thanks to Audible for making this episode possible.

Got some thoughts on our July pick, ‘Yellowface’ by R.F. Kuang? We’re allllll ears (also, eyes, heads, bodies, etc etc) - join in the convo over on our Insta, @theshamelessbookclub.
