Summary

Oh hello! Mel's brother's wedding was the weekend before she moved her whole house and family and life. In other words, things are nuts over here! So you get an encore of A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest! Or, as we’re calling it, 50 Shades of Twilight: A Tale of Teenage Stockholm Syndrome. Full disclosure, we didn’t necessarily *like* this book, but we cannot wait to give you a hilarious after-school special about why we didn’t. We present a *very special episode* about what the kids are reading these days. Self Love Recommendations: - Watch Big Little Lies on HBO or something else where talented people are slaying the game. - Listen to the last 15 minutes of The Ringer's Binge Mode. In the final episode there's a beautiful oration about not being ashamed for your interests and escapism. Plus, best friends gush about each other, which you know we LOVE! Episode Notes: If you like excellent vampire tales, be sure to check out American Vampire wherever you get your comics! Scott Snyder is the main writer and they've had arcs with Stephen King and more. And quick *CORRECTION* from this episode, "women in refrigerators" or "getting refrigerated" began in the 90's with Green LANTERN, not Green Arrow. Either way, I think we can all agree that ladies should be fully formed characters instead of merely plot devices, right? Thank goodness even mainstream comics have seen the light since then!

0:00.0	Welcome to Heaving Boosoms, the podcast where two best friends recap romance novels while
0:13.7	giggling using a critical eye and sometimes following tenuous logic.
0:20.2	Hello, beautiful listener, okay, I poured over my calendar today and I just I had to get
0:28.8	real with myself. The second half of my May is a touch insane because I'm heading to the
0:35.5	west coast for my brother's wedding and then two days after I get back we're moving our whole
0:42.2	life to our new house. It's all wonderful stuff don't get me wrong but I just could not figure out
0:50.3	how to get a new episode out this week while also holding everything else together. And that's
0:56.5	even with Nat's amazing abilities. So it's re-release time and this is actually a treat.
1:04.7	Next week Nat and I will be back with an alien book which you can certainly look forward to
1:10.6	but today we're going in the way way way back machine to revisit one of Aaron and my favorite
1:20.0	episodes. A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forest. Here we go.
1:31.2	All right, okay. All right everyone, Aaron has had a week and meanwhile,
1:37.5	meanwhile I'm in my final four days of my son being across the world with his grandparents and
1:45.2	so I've basically had a staycation of a lifetime. I've been drinking with friends. Okay,
1:51.8	I've been because I thought you were going to be like, my son is gone and I was going to be like
1:56.7	poor fucking you. No, okay, don't get me wrong. I definitely have my moments where I like tear up
2:02.2	and can't figure my life out. Of course, but it's also nice to be a human person without him
2:09.9	and actually know what not being tired is like because I didn't realize just how exhausted I was.
2:16.2	And this week, I got a haircut and it's almost like a Sydney Waverly haircut, you know.
2:23.4	Uh-huh. Oh, it's nice. You know what? I didn't see the end of your hair until you kind of set up
2:28.9	just now. That's nice. And this is after being slept on. I've still got the natural mermaid wave
2:34.5	even after sleep. Yeah, you do. I'm telling you, it's the bad day too. Um, and the haircut, I feel like
