Show Notes

This week, we're joined by Camryn Garrett, the acclaimed author of Full Disclosure, Off the Record, and Friday I’m In Love, which just dropped on January 10 — so, like, take your headphones out of your ears, run to your nearest bookstore, and buy it now. In 2019, Camryn was named one of Teen Vogue’s 21 Under 21 and one of Glamour’s College Women of the Year, and she recently graduated from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. 

Together, Camryn and I tackle the scene in which Dad March comes home, at last, from war. (No, he does not actually say, "My little women!" Sorry, Bob Odenkirk fans.) He says his "son Jo" has become a fine young lady - and boy, do Camryn and I have thinky thoughts about that. We also ask why the subject of slavery is so curiously absent in this most Civil War-y of Civil War novels, and Camryn gives me a full recap of Taylor Swift's commencement speech, which she got to see firsthand, as a 2022 Tisch grad.
