Ep 4: We Are Going To Have Words | Overrated & Underrated Books Apr 18, 2023

Show notes

Hey book besties! Episode 4 might stir up some emotions. Neely and Rachel are discussing what they think are the most overrated and underrated books – and they don’t necessarily agree on all of them! Don’t forget to come over to our instagram or facebook page and let us know what you think!

*Also, you might notice that we start off by saying that this is episode 3 BUT it’s actually episode 4! We ended up switching the order so our interview with DEG could air sooner. Apologies for the mix up – it will probably happen again! 😂
