Erika, I am so excited about today's episode.

0:27.7

No, it's like a newbie. We're rookies. It's the first time.

0:32.0

You know, I was very apprehensive to talk about books on our podcast because I just didn't

0:38.1

know that it would be interesting or fun or if it would translate, but so many people

0:42.0

asked us to break down books and make a bestie book club. And you, I feel like you really

0:48.2

encouraged me to do it. And the episode was so much fun to record. I loved the whole process

0:53.0

of reading the book and talking about it. I know it got me into reading again. And I think we

0:57.2

accidentally picked a great fall book. Yeah, it's a complete accident. I think readers sent it

1:02.9

into you, but I am very thankful. Yeah. Well, you know what? And it pushed me out of the typical

1:09.8

genre I like to hang out in, you know, romantic little checklist books. We pushed her right out of

1:43.6

If you are not a reader, if you don't enjoy reading, if you're shaper, I mean, if you or any of

1:49.6

those people, you should still listen today because it's funny and lighthearted. And we talk

1:55.6

about things like girlfriends would write like everyone should still listen. Yeah. And to be honest,

2:00.6

maybe one day they'll make it into a movie. And then you guys will know a little bit of the back

2:03.9

story, right? Now, I will say if you want to read the book and do not want spoilers, you should
