In this week’s book club, the Mollys welcome a special guest and badass health educator Hannah! Friend Of Mollys (FOM) Hannah joins the pod to help us talk all about the dark mafia romance Sinners Anonymous by Somme Sketcher. The Mollys ask Hannah about her relationship to romance novels, they dive deep into the topic of consent, and try their best to find the line between fantasy and reality. Stick around to join a VERY special edition of anatomy class and hear the Mollys make some much-needed amends. All that and more in Chapter 12 of the pod!
