Moni & Kat's Pizza Party: The Hunting Wives Edition

In this episode of The Fake Ass Book Club, the ladies take on Netflix’s steamy thriller The Hunting Wives — with a twist. Moni only made it through to episode three, while cohost Kat powered through the entire series and the original book (which she had already finished before even suggesting this week’s review… not fair!). Before diving into the drama, the hosts celebrate a major milestone: reading eleven books this summer! Cue an old-school BOOK IT–style pizza party, complete with plenty of wine. 🍕🍷Fueled by good vibes and even better pours, the conversation meanders through their usual FAB tangents — from nearly forgetting to dedicate the episode, to clowning the series’ questionable wigs, to Kat’s breakdown of how the book stacks up against the Netflix adaptation. Expect a mix of off-topic laughs, pop culture sidebars, and just enough plot talk to keep things spicy. A boozy, freewheeling episode that perfectly embodies the essence of the Fake Ass Book Club.
