Summary

Hey HBs! We usually don't say this, but today, we truly read this book so you don't have to. DON'T BUY OR READ THIS BOOK. There's anti-Asian racism and fat shaming that we are NOT here for, and a whole passel of other issues. BUT Cole is here with Erin, so it's not all bad. They recap some golf/spy/olympics/inexplicable-it-couple/second chance romance that has really hilarious ideas about brand sponsorships involving communist dictatorships. Plus, a truly douchecanoe hero. Come have fun with them!
