Description
Have you felt a distinct lack of Pushing Daisies in your media rotation? Are you guilty of looking for Magic in Everyday Places? Do you want a romance NOT like all the other YA romances? In this episode, Carey and Marie discuss under-the-radar gem We Won’t Feel a Thing by J.C. Lillis, touching on weird Americana, forbidden romance, scifi versus magical realism, and the inevitable outcome of all those weird self-improvement programs you’re advertised on Facebook: love. Or a mad scientist showing up on your door yelling about manic pixie dream lab assistants AND WHO DOESN’T WANT THAT. We Won’t Feel a Thing: Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Website, Goodreads J.C.
