This conversation has EVERYTHING from South American television programming in the 90s to obscure snark subreddits to the insidious culture of online wellness gurus.

Much like the book that spawned it, this episode a fun and wild ride.

This week, Magda and Lindsay sit down with Rachel Thorne, aka Denise Grover Swank, author of many a rom-com and mystery tale, to talk all about her book “The Substitute.” 

 

“The Substitute” follows Megan Vandemeer, who has just recently dumped her cheating finance bro fiancé, Jay. There’s just one hitch: she hasn’t told her family the wedding’s off. While flying home to break the news to her uptight mother, Megan chats up her handsome seatmate in first class, Josh. After some Dramamine, a glass of champagne, and a gentlemanly attempt to get a semi-conscious Megan from the plane to her family, Josh winds up posing as Megan’s fiancé. Determined to stage a breakup and avoid a family disaster, Megan and Josh embark on a week of wedding festivities, with their closest friends and family in tow. 

Listen in for this fun, wild ride of a chat.

Volunteering for a summer reading list?! 

Uh, YES.  Magda and Lindsay are your favorite kind of teacher’s pets, though, because they’re going to walk through every kind of option for a perfect summer read. Memoir, romance, heist, magical realism…economics (?). These are all the books they’re reading and planning to read during their short summer break.
