Hi. Hi.

Hi.

Welcome to our December book club discussion, everyone.

I don't know what the name of this book was.

Good spirits?

Good spirits.

Ghost spirits.

Or good spirits.

Good spirits, which is shocking because I don't know,

I think it should be nominated for every book award Pulitzer Prize, Nobel Peace Prize. I mean,

you did a real U-turn because you started it before me and you texted me. I don't know if I can do it.

This book is so bad. I am so scared by my reaction to this book. Like, I'm obviously pregnant, so my hormones are, you know, off the walls. Yeah. But Rachel is correct. I started this book and I read the first chapter and I texted Rachel. I said, I don't think I can do this. This is so bad. And we like picked another book that we were going to suggest. Yes, we picked another book we were going to suggest. And I was like, just give me, let me read a little bit more tonight. And then I'll tell you officially tomorrow. And it's because there was one line, they were talking where this girl was like, I tossed my curls back into a loose ponytail. And I'm like, no one thinks that way.

No one says I tossed. I mean, I was sending this to Rachel in all caps. I was losing my mind.

I will say the curls got tired. Oh my God. The curls got tired. There were so many tropes in this

book that were, I was just like, okay. Okay. My, the two biggest

tropes. The curls. Because again, when will the lead character in a rom-com have a gorgeous

man be like, I love your thin, dull, kind of lifeless hair. It moves me. Like, that's coming from two people with...

Why does it always have to be like wild? It's always, yeah, no, it's always like wild hair.

It's always curly hair. Second trope is they are always doing a job in like an antique store, a child's toy store that's like some kitchy cute job.

That would never make them money in real life.

It would never.

How are you supporting yourself?
