And we're back! Despite LC's impending collapse due to exhaustion (yay!) (full-time job + creative output x copy-editing your sister's EXCELLENT sexy fanfic = burnout, it seems) we have gotten this episode up! Take that lockdown!! This week we talk about Brit Bennett's beautiful "The Vanishing Half". We are seriously having a tough time figuring out if we have a favourite book so far this series, because this one is yet another INCREDIBLE addition. The girls get into: - The choices a person makes being a product of how they were taught as children - The contrast between running away from yourself vs becoming who you want to be - How we're just finding SO MUCH RACISM buried in ourselves (it's deeply upsetting) - and outside expectation and how it can mess with a person Oh and the tangents? Well... - a VERY bare-bones run down of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine interim data review results and how excited we all are - Chloe giving some very sound advice re: sending nudes - Cliodhna's on-air imaginary date with Lupita N'yongo (no seriously) - Mario Kart being the video game of choice to get the shift during - And of course, your standard CL4L BTS update (including, Yoongi's recent surgery, the lack of white-washing in the latest batch of promo photos and how we're HERE FOR IT, and, y'know, JK sending Chloe secret messages through his BE concept photo) It's all here in this week's Chick Lit 4 Life!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lc-lewis/message
