BSG #65: Non-Consensual Oil Change / The Atmospherians

The Book Squad (with special guest Jayve Chambliss) goes semi-off the grid for our discussion of The Atmospherians by Isle McElroy. We talk about online harassment, toxic masculinity, gender performance, satire, and the mall comeback no one anticipated. Next we get into some feedback on No Exit and catch up with what’s on the blog, including a new installment of YA Book Club, a video game review, and a podcast review. Join us on April 4th for our Othersode about the film The Lost City. Then read along with us for our next Bookpisode on Reprieve by James Han Mattson on April 18th!
