A very special episode with a very special guest, this week we read "Beautiful Ugly" by Alice Feeney and it was... confusing. Revenge, instant bestsellers, and murderous lesbians make for a wild and confusing ride as we read between the lines of this bad bad book. Special thanks to our guest Raúl and to our wonderful fans who support us over on Patreon!
