S2E11: During this episode, we take a trip down memory lane and revisit a favorite from our youth: Sophie Kinsella’s ‘Remember Me?’ This re-read was an experiment for us to see if we would have the same experience reading a book now in our 20s compared to when we were pre-teens. Needless to say, there were some major and unexpected differences that cropped up! After breaking it all down, we realise that certain aspects of the story seem to have lost their magic. Is it the price we must pay as we grow up and realise that reality doesn’t always live up to our fictional ideals? Are early-2000s chick-lits simply outdated in this day and age? Are the characters really at fault, or were things just different back then? As it turns out, reading an old favorite with a newly turned critical eye unleashes a plethora of questions, comments, and judgement – and we leave no stone unturned in our discussion!
