Modelland by Tyra Banks: The First 100 Pages Jan 29, 2021

Show notes

Did you know Tyra Banks wrote a young adult dystopian fantasy novel? Well she DID and this week we recap chapters 1-13 of Modelland by Tyra Banks in a futile attempt to make any of this book make sense. We're joined by a new book club member, and recount the past 100 page of chaos, drama, and baby fingers. Someone might just die this episode and we don't mean in the book.

A big thank you to our special guest Mara Fitzgerald as Dorothy! Go buy her book or else.
