BSG #45: Baby's First Rebellion / We Set the Dark on Fire
Throw on your resistance gear and join the squad as we rise up against The System with a discussion of Tehlor Kay Mejia’s We Set the Dark on Fire. We talk about the book’s real life parallels to the broken immigration system in our country, how the novel handles the patriarchy of it all, and of course, most importantly, the ROMANCE PLOT. After our ratings, we get into what’s on the blog, and then prep you for our upcoming episodes. We’re covering Netflix’s I’m Thinking of Ending Things for our next othersode (9/21), and for our next bookpisode (10/5), we’re reading The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett. Please follow us on social media @booksquadgoals, check out our latest blog posts at booksquadgoals.com/blog, and send any and all feedback you have to thesquad@booksquadgoals.com!
