43. Paper Towns- John Green
Welcome back listeners! John Green’s manic pixie dream girl fantasies continue this week as Quintin tries to track down his childhood best friend Margo, who may or may not be entirely made of paper (gross). Featuring philosophical cops, tips for breaking and entering, and the Fiery Rage of Veet.
TW: Brief mentions of suicide.

42. Paranormalcy- Kiersten White
Welcome back everyone! This week, Evie is ready to take on the supernatural world with her pink bedazzled taser and her stiletto boots. The only thing she isn’t prepared for is Lend: the slippery paranormal boy who slides his way into Evie’s heart (and her surrogate mother’s skin). Featuring vampire slander, copyright questions, and some very questionable fairy management. (Seriously, everyone should be way more concerned about the fairies.)

Come along, listeners, as we solve the mystery of Jack the Ripper (and encounter the best ending to a book we’ve found thus far on the podcast)! Girlboss Audrey Rose is not afraid of dead bodies, serial killers, or hot guys who frequently mention drinking blood. Featuring some red flags to look for if you think your boyfriend might be a murderer/vampire/a*****e, questionable comebacks, and the ghost of BBC Sherlock.

39. Crossed- Ally Condie
SEQUEL EPISODE: (33) This book might not answer our biggest questions, like “What even is sorting,” or “Is Cassia a half-robot,” but it’s chock full of… other stuff. Like the reinvention of therapy, and a list of people who might be the Pilot. Spoiler alert: everyone is on that list. Including you. Congratulations, you’re now leading a rebellion against the robot government that tried to eradicate cancer by killing off all the sopranos. Good luck.

Hilarious
Sooo funny!
I’m obsessed!!!
I cannot stop listening to this podcast. I stumbled upon it by accident when I was looking to listen to someone, anyone, talk about how horrendous the ‘After’ series is and I quickly realized that I had found my people. Reading YA novels is my guilty pleasure that I can’t talk to my friends about so listening to Kaitlyn and Savanah talk about them is the BEST. I’ve never binged podcast episodes like this!
Best YA podcast out there
Everytime I listen to this podcast I feel like I’m sipping wine with the girls in a white bricked apartment on a Friday night.
