Hiya, book clubbers!

This month, we read You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi. This is a book that flips the romance genre utterly on its head. It’s been five years since protagonist Feyi lost her husband in a car accident. Feyi isn’t ready for anything serious, but a steamy encounter at a rooftop party cascades into a whirlwind summer she could have never imagined: a luxury trip to a tropical island, decadent meals in the glamorous home of a celebrity chef, and a major curator who wants to launch her art career. She’s even started dating the perfect guy, but there’s a bit of a problem: Feyi feels a deep thrill every time she locks eyes with the one person in the house who is most definitely off-limits.

How One Direction fell together: Part one Dec 25, 2022

Show notes

Happy Monday, everybody!

They were five boys from the UK, each with a dream to make it in music. Only, when Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Harry Styles wandered into X Factor, nobody could have predicted where they’d end up.

Hey, friends!

On today’s show: The Good Morning America extra-marital affair that’s absolutely dominating the headlines. Then, the full trailer for Harry and Meghan’s Netflix docu-series is here and, naturally, the internet is bursting with opinions. Plus, Britain’s biggest influencer Molly-Mae has shed some light on what her relationship has been like while pregnant, and, well, we wade through our complicated feelings about it.

This week, Zara recommended reading ‘My boyfriend, a writer, broke up with me because I’m a writer’ by Isabel Kaplan in The Guardian. For those of you may may require one, Mich recommended getting one of those telephones that record voice messages at weddings.

Happy Monday, legends!

She was the Tasmanian-born marketing director who, in the most literal of ways, lived out a real-life fairytale. Because upon meeting Prince Frederik at a bar, Mary Donaldson’s typical Aussie life changed forever.

Happy Thursday, everyone!

Welcome to the fourth and final installment of our series on Justin, Selena and Hailey. In March 2018, Justin Bieber’s girlfriend was Selena Gomez. By September, Hailey Baldwin was his wife. The fall-out of that… particularly tight timeline would captivate the public for years to come.
