Kris has been writing and is stuck in a wild limbo where the days to her next book's deadline get smaller as the story keeps growing. Tara suggests a new trend to solve Kris’s problem, before our hosts wade bravely into the epilogue debate. They're deep, dangerous waters, but they have the nerve to say their piece. And to top it off, Tara bores the class by gushing about her upcoming triple-paned windows. You know, real adulting stuff.
Official Recommendations
From Kris: Chasing Chasing Amy (2023)
Kris’s official recommendation this week is the documentary, Chasing Chasing Amy. It tracks director Sav Rodgers' experience with the 1997 film Chasing Amy and how important that movie was to his queer identity growing up, including that it saved his life. Filmed over five years, Chasing Chasing Amy details Sav’s exploration of the cult hit and his changing opinions of it when new information comes to light.
From Tara: Sweet Home Alabarden Park by TJ O’Shea
Tara’s official recommendation this week is the newly released sapphic romance Sweet Home Alabarden Park by TJ O’Shea. It's a "sort of one night to forever set in the UK," which features recently cheated on and divorced Fiona and the soft butch gentlewoman Alice, who ends up being nobility. Tara loved this book and it’s already her best book of the year.
