About this listen

Known idiots Jesse McGrath and Wilder Shaw are back for another podcast that nobody asked for: Welcome to Girlfriend Book Club.


For the first season, join them as they dive into a book that their girlfriends love, Sarah J. Maas' A Court of Thorns and Roses. Chapter by chapter, they'll talk theories, ask questions, and give the kind of literary analysis you can only get from people who learned about fae politics yesterday.
