When the Hype Doesn’t Hit: Wicked, Returns, & Reader Guilt
Manage episode 523496584 series 3604757
This week’s episode was supposed to be our buddy read chat for Wicked… but after attempting both the book and the movie, your book besties made a joint executive decision: we’re tapping OUT. 😂
In this episode, Kat and Amanda share their brutally honest (but still very us) thoughts on Wicked- from confusing worldbuilding to audiobook woes to the shock of discovering that the Broadway sensation is only loosely connected to its source material. We talk DNF guilt, hype that doesn’t land, and why sometimes sitting in silence is better than forcing yourself through a book you’re not vibing with.
Then we pivot into a surprisingly thoughtful conversation sparked by a viral TikTok!
In this episode, sprayed edges, Barnes & Noble avoidance strategies, holiday shopping trauma, and chaotic bestie problem-solving all make an appearance.
It’s a candid, cozy, slightly unhinged chat- aka exactly what you expect from us.
