And we're back! The girls' first book of Series 5 on LGBTQ+ authors is Rita Mae Brown's bestselling "Rubyfruit Jungle". In discussing (arguably) the first lesbian protagonist in popular culture, the girls talk:
- The effect of a shining superhero lead character in tackling oppression
- How that makes us feel as gals that love a bit of emotional struggle and nuance
- Interestingly, how Molly's self-belief trips our (super-Irish) "Notions" alarm, and how that's just very uncomfortable
- Plus Chloe Cullen in her best dramatic performance to date!
And we did not go on one tangent!
Okay that was a lie. We did foray into
- How OBSESSED we are with all the people making epoxy resin charms and jewellery on Instagram, we just CANT with you people!!
- Saoirse's unwavering dedication to PopSugar fitness videos. And the fact that she does them with no shoes on. Which we insist is weird. It IS weird, right?!
- And of course, finally, Katie's crazy forehead-vein. We don't know how it took so long to bring it up to be honest
It's all here in this week's Chick Lit 4 Life!
