Episode 172: The A-List
/
The A-List
After an amazing month of New Reads November 2021, it’s time we get back to throwback reads, starting with Zoey Dean’s The A-List! On Episode 172, Alli and her guest return to the era of all things wealth and mean girls. They discuss the appeal of this very ‘00s genre, the rampant slut shaming and fatphobia they see in the book, reinvention in YA, nuanced parent/daughter relationships, and so much more.
