25 - Time for another happy hour! This week we launch into the third part of our chat about The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid while drinking an oldie but a goodie: The Last Word. We talk about *that* explicit sex scene, and as actresses we can't help wondering whether we'd have done the same and where our line is with regards to nudity in our work. And since Evelyn does that scene with her abusive ex-husband, we dive into the complex question of whether it's possible to enjoy art made by abusers and alleged abusers. Plus, in talking about Monique's difficult decision whether to stay in New York for her career, or follow David to San Francisco, we talk about the difficult decisions we're personally facing with regards to our careers and marriages... We get REAL this week, ya'll.
Chapters Discussed: 31-51
Next Week: We finish the book!
Join us again for Happy Hour next Thursday, and follow us on Insta @AreTheseBooksDrunk for updates on our next episode & cocktail pairing so that you can read along and sip along with us!
