Chapter 27: Two 20-Something Teens

Welcome back to Razzlefrat! This week we embrace how easily we—okay, mostly Ashtin—are influenced by the BookTok machine and tell you whether some of the most popular books on the platform are worth the hype. BUT we also have some hidden gems up our sleeves. Next time we’re discussing The Late Americans by Brandon Taylor and hope you’ll join us for the “Sally Rooney but in Iowa” vibes. Be sure to follow us in between episodes on our booksta accounts @grapes_of_ash and @theresinkonmyhands and also our joint account @razzlefratpod! Until next time, we bid you farewell. xoxo, Razzlefrat Books mentioned this episode: Crescent City by Sarah J Maas A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G Summers Love & Other Words by Christina Lauren Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros The Late Americans by Brandon Taylor All the Gold Stars by Rainesford Stauffer A Life of One’s Own by Joanna Biggs My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones Don’t Fear the Reaper by Stephen Graham Jones The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover Verity by Colleen Hoover Untamed by Glennon Doyle Atomic Habits by James Clear Pendragon series by D.
