Zoey Fools Around (Making Out #1)
It’s always a treat for Alli when a podcast guest introduces her to a book from their teen or tween years that’s brand new to her… so imagine what a treat it is when a guest shares an entire SERIES with her! On Episode 155, Alli has her first experience with Katherine Applegate’s Making Out series, more specifically, the first installment Zoey Fools Around. She and her guest discuss the unique social dynamics of the teen cast of the series, draw parallels between the book and popular teen dramas of the ‘90s and early ‘00s, share their love for the writing style of this time period, consider the way the author positions sex and dating, weigh in on the depiction of race in Zoey Fools Around, and so much more.
