  • Mom Brain by Nicole Hackett

    Mom Brain by Nicole Hackett
    Apr 21 2026

    Surprise! Today the girls are chatting up a book very personal to them: Mom Brain by one of the girls, Nicole Hackett.

    As always, this isn't Goodreads with a mic. This is gossip, but make it fiction. And if there's one thing these girls love more than books, it's a good outline. Here's one for the show:

    • What is the book about? This isn't back cover copy. In this section, the girls discuss the “point” of the book. Why did the author write this story in particular?
    • Good job/bad job. The girls pick one shining moment when the main character was being her best self, and one "wtf" moment when she was being her worst.
    • One more page. The girls discuss the part of the book when they couldn't put it down.
    • The Bad Guy. The girls pick one person (or group of people) who were the most villain-like and explain why.
    • Cast It. The only section that comes with a jingle. The girls cast the main characters in the book using surprisingly limited pop culture knowledge.

  • The Wedding People by Alison Espach

    Tackling a fan favorite today, and by fan favorite, we mean Nicole's favorite. Dubbed by the wildly biased Nicole as "the perfect book" and "the IT book of 2025," Alison Espach's The Wedding People is something to behold.

    Come reflect on life in the '80s with two people who weren't there. Today the girls launch (heh) into their thoughts on the latest astronaut love story by megastar TJR.
