Trigger warnings: suicide ideation and infertility, death of spouse and grief.
We open with a discussion of Ben, J-Lo and Matt Damon, and it just gets better from there! We revisit our youth, talk about the dangers people face when crossing the border, announce new buddy reads, discuss two different books with death-bed promises (no bueno!), and touch on the privilege of being able to jet off when things get tough. Alex also discusses what she looked forward to at the end of a week when she was deep in the baby days.
