In this episode, Diem and Lily talk about all the books they read during summer, which was 5 months ago… but better late than never! The cold Melbourne days has really made them think about the warmer lazy ones filled with good reads. They talk about books with angry teen girls, unlikeable female characters, gender fluidity, feminist messages, and heroines who don’t need a prince charming but get one anyway.
