Fan of pretentious experimental theatre AND trashy reality TV? Me too!

Star Wars' Daisy Ridley narrates the Audible original Islanders by Elinor Cook, a subversive, rehumanizing take on the UK hit reality show Love Island.  It confused listeners so much they rated it an instant 1 star. Sophia answers an insightful Goodreads question from Lily with an impassioned crash course on the infamous "pronoun game".

If you haven't experienced your A-spot yet, you haven't been living! For this Sex Month episode, Sophia introduces the person living under the rock to the one spot to rule them all - not the G, and certainly not the cervix that gets idiotically misrepresented in erotic literature. 

Also - why you're doing a disservice to all womankind by leaving a crappy lover crappy.
