Summary

This month we read an anti-romance to celebrate Valentine's Day, Strangers by Belle Burden! This book covers the absolutely insane divorce of a wealthy NYC couple at the beginning of Covid. Rachael and Caitlin discuss the difference between a Memoir and an Autobiography (and why we aren't as interested in the latter), the special time that was March of 2020, and what we'd do if a man asked for a sandwich after admitting an affair and leaving his 2 children. As usual book club eps contain spoilers but you don't have to have read the book to enjoy the chat!
