The time has finally arrived...Kearsten doesn't like a book Tatyana loves! This has happened many times in reverse and that is why the banter part of the podcast works so well, but it is a rare rare feat that Kearsten does not enjoy a book that Tatyana loves. So, grab the popcorn and buckle up for this roller coaster, while we dive into the world of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. This book took the world by storm and since has had several special editions, hundreds of merch made from it, and even the occasional tattoo, and we had such a blast dissecting this book.
This episode contains spoilers from: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by VE Schwab, Crazy Stupid Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams, and Supernatural TV show.
