Hello, hello! We hope you have your copy of Love In the Big City for Emily's book club in a couple weeks! Today we're talking about hyped books that do (and maybe don't) live up to all that hype. It's worth mentioning that any and all hot takes are just our opinions! Isn't it fun how it's all subjective, and there's truly something for every reader out there? Thank you so much for listening, we'll see you next week! Get your BATC merch here: https://www.booksandthecitypod.com/merch.
