054: What If It's Us by Becky Albertali and Adam Silvera


In this episode we discuss the Adam Silvera/Becky Albertali collaboration, What If It's Us.

We discuss whether we're team Arthur or Ben, and have a long discussion about punctuality. I'm super embarrassed to have realized that our discussion of punctuality does not include a discussion of class. Arthur comes from money; Ben does not, and I somehow managed to miss that when talking about the fact that Ben has to rely on modes of more affordable transportation. I wish we'd had this conversation, and I may ask us to get back together to record an amendment to this episode in the future. But feel free to take us to task for missing it here. We'd love to hear your take.

Additionally, Lindsey suggests More Nate Than Ever by Tim Federle.

Molly suggests The Sun Is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon.

Amy suggests The Art of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson, every book by David Levithan, and Becky Albertali's books.

Cash Money suggests The Summer of Jordi Perez (and the Best Burger in Los Angeles) by Amy Spalding and From Twinkle With Love by Sandhya Menon.

Episode 053: Fat Angie: Rebel Girl Revolution by E.E. Charlton-Trujillo

We're trying something new here: a short review by one panelist. We're hoping to release these shorter takes in between longer discussions. We hope they are just as illuminating as our hour-long discussions, but more digestible (for when you need a short nibble and not a full meal).

In our inaugural attempt, Lindsey talks about Fat Angie: Rebel Girl Revolution, a companion/sequel to the Stonewall Award winning Fat Angie by E.E. Charlton-Trujillo.
