Nuzzle HouseBook Boys Review: 'Baby Island' By Carol Ryrie BrinkEpisode Notes
We read what is basically grandma porn for the idea of being trapped on an island with other peoples babies. It's disturbing and shines a light on the fantasies of a very lonely author.
We learn:
Ben doesn't get the joke when Glen plays the Ratchet Book Club promo
Glen can't have the "Summer of '89" with his friend while they're both unemployed
Trench-mouth is considered a 'bums disease' by dentists in the '90s
Gretchen barely pulls her act together because of her drug addiction
