The Spice Cabinet

The Spice Cabinet closes out Season 1 with big hair, mixtapes, and a little paranormal teenage angst. This week, the ladies crack open Grove Hollow by Shelby Nicole McFadden, a YA romance set in 1985, complete with ghostly mysteries and just the right amount of VHS static. Expect nostalgic tangents, plenty of giggles, and maybe even a few big announcements as the besties wrap up their first season in style. Because nothing says “season finale” like crushes, cassette tapes, and a touch of the supernatural.

The countdown is on, this is the second-to-last episode of Season 1, and the Spice Cabinet ladies are more fired up than ever. This week’s read, Phantasma by Kaylie Smith, sparks big laughs, bold takes, and a few wildly off-topic detours (would it even be us without them?) With only one more week before the season finale, we’re serving extra spice, extra laughs, and our most unfiltered selves yet.
