Bagging the Blueliner by Siena Trap

1
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,457
All right, what do we want to do next? So wait, hold on.

2
00:00:13,521 --> 00:00:16,885
What is next going to be? Is that Thanksgiving week?

3
00:00:17,825 --> 00:00:21,725
I know. Praise is going to be Thanksgiving week. Apparently,

4
00:00:22,705 --> 00:00:25,005
that's Thanksgiving. It's not just Thanksgiving week.

5
00:00:26,585 --> 00:00:30,321
I was not a fan of any. Of the holiday ones that you

6
00:00:30,353 --> 00:00:33,665
read. We could give that stuffed

7
00:00:33,705 --> 00:00:37,265
another try. Sometimes I feel like, when the name is,

8
00:00:37,305 --> 00:00:40,457
like, stuffed. When it's, like, too obvious. Yeah.

9
00:00:40,561 --> 00:00:44,409
They're just really bad. So, like, zero plot.

10
00:00:44,457 --> 00:00:48,265
Like, right away they kind of talked about swinging, and that's

11
00:00:48,305 --> 00:00:51,617
not. Well, we could do that dark one that Emma.

12
00:00:51,681 --> 00:00:55,313
Brutal Obsession. You could do that because that's still hockey, but it's

13
00:00:55,329 --> 00:00:59,555
a little. Yeah, darker. I did like that one. There's some mouth spitting.

14
00:01:00,455 --> 00:01:02,835
Plug your ears Pagle just for you.

15
00:01:05,255 --> 00:01:08,915
Yeah, that one next. And then we do. Yeah. We have such a

16
00:01:09,255 --> 00:01:12,959
long list of books to do. We have plenty of time.

17
00:01:13,047 --> 00:01:16,463
We do. To do them all. Yeah. Eventually we're going to

18
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:20,455
start to be. Like, we need recommendations. Yeah. But we. We would take

19
00:01:20,495 --> 00:01:23,995
recommendations. So if anybody has. Especially coming

20
00:01:24,035 --> 00:01:27,635
in the holiday season, if anybody has a holiday book, we'll take it.

21
00:01:27,675 --> 00:01:31,059
Because the ones that I've read are. They're books with spice.

22
00:01:31,227 --> 00:01:34,615
Sure. I haven't found a smutty holiday book.

23
00:01:34,955 --> 00:01:38,891
Maybe instead we should just write a smutty holiday book.

24
00:01:39,083 --> 00:01:43,235
We do actually have a smutty kind of holiday book on the horizon come

25
00:01:43,275 --> 00:01:47,083
St. Patrick's Day. Yes. Which Dave cannot wait.

26
00:01:47,259 --> 00:01:50,495
Every time I'm reading anything, he's like, oh, are those the leprechauns?

27
00:01:51,765 --> 00:01:54,665
He can't wait. I can't wait. So,

28
00:01:55,165 --> 00:01:58,301
all right. Well, I think. Yeah, I think we should do the dark. So then

29
00:01:58,373 --> 00:02:02,145
next we'll do Brutal Obsession, and then we also get Praise

30
00:02:02,605 --> 00:02:06,077
Neon Gods. The words. We have a lot to come in. We do.

31
00:02:06,181 --> 00:02:09,221
Yeah. I'm excited. There's a couple more that have

32
00:02:09,253 --> 00:02:12,533
come up recently that I think are more fantasy.

33
00:02:12,709 --> 00:02:16,815
Since we've kind of deviated away from fantasy, I'm wondering if we should edge

34
00:02:16,855 --> 00:02:19,375
back into that just a little bit. Maybe on one or two.

35
00:02:19,455 --> 00:02:22,583
So I read the. What it. What? The Ever

36
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,367
king. I read. Oh, you did? I did like that.

37
00:02:26,471 --> 00:02:29,471
I did. It was. I think it was more a book with spice,

38
00:02:29,543 --> 00:02:33,391
though. Oh. It wasn't exactly as many books. The storyline's

39
00:02:33,423 --> 00:02:36,639
great. I love, like, the pirate thing and the

40
00:02:36,687 --> 00:02:40,239
Enemies to Lovers. Right up my alley.

41
00:02:40,407 --> 00:02:43,035
How would you feel about, like, Werewolf?

42
00:02:43,865 --> 00:02:47,265
I. I have less of a problem with that than you do.

43
00:02:47,425 --> 00:02:50,761
I don't have a problem with that. You. You get Worried when it

44
00:02:50,793 --> 00:02:54,361
peters on bestiality. I. I don't like that.

45
00:02:54,473 --> 00:02:58,353
No. But I feel like a werewolf would be bestiality. As long as he's not

46
00:02:58,409 --> 00:03:01,177
having sex with her in his werewolf form.

47
00:03:01,281 --> 00:03:05,165
Oh, okay. See, I was thinking that we were having werewolf sex.

48
00:03:05,625 --> 00:03:09,141
Yeah. Oh, okay. That's fine. Please miss me.

49
00:03:09,273 --> 00:03:12,981
I do get a little freaked out in the werewolf books when they have.

50
00:03:13,053 --> 00:03:16,357
They have this, like, thing called the knot. Do you know what I'm talking about?

51
00:03:16,421 --> 00:03:17,025
No.

52
00:03:20,365 --> 00:03:24,405
Absolutely not. Yeah. No, that Pagle.

53
00:03:24,525 --> 00:03:28,133
Pagle is joining us today for a recording session, and she's actually sweating

54
00:03:28,189 --> 00:03:31,501
right now. I said that. And she gagged.

55
00:03:31,573 --> 00:03:35,885
She threw up in her mouth a little bit. There's a book called Bride

56
00:03:36,005 --> 00:03:39,721
by. I think her name is Allie Hazelwood. And I

57
00:03:39,753 --> 00:03:44,009
really, really, really liked the book a lot. Yeah. It is borderline a book with

58
00:03:44,097 --> 00:03:47,601
spice. There are a couple of sex scenes, but most of the book is just

59
00:03:47,633 --> 00:03:51,529
kind of like enemies to lovers. We've done some really

60
00:03:51,577 --> 00:03:55,289
heavy sex books, so I feel like throwing in a. Book with spice

61
00:03:55,457 --> 00:03:58,441
would be okay. Okay. Maybe we'll do a little more research.

62
00:03:58,593 --> 00:04:01,505
Okay. Yeah. Like, we'll do Brutal Obsession next.

63
00:04:01,585 --> 00:04:04,737
I like that. And then we'll kind of see where we want to go from

64
00:04:04,761 --> 00:04:08,579
there. Yeah, I love that. Good plan. Yeah. All right.

65
00:04:08,627 --> 00:04:12,235
Awesome. Okay. All right. Well, welcome. I'm Amanda.

66
00:04:12,315 --> 00:04:15,611
I'm Nicole. And we are book sluts.

67
00:04:15,803 --> 00:04:19,491
We are very excited to disagree on our

68
00:04:19,523 --> 00:04:23,419
book today. We are going to disagree. We actually agree

69
00:04:23,507 --> 00:04:27,051
a lot and hate it. Yes, absolutely. I don't like this

70
00:04:27,083 --> 00:04:30,611
book. I don't either. And I. I went in my

71
00:04:30,643 --> 00:04:34,313
first couple pages. I really liked this book. Oh, really? For most of

72
00:04:34,329 --> 00:04:37,609
the book, I really liked it. And the ending destroyed it.

73
00:04:37,697 --> 00:04:41,057
I was done. Shoot. But this is the main character

74
00:04:41,081 --> 00:04:44,681
that I like and you don't. I right away will

75
00:04:44,713 --> 00:04:48,161
have some really big opinions about her. So what book are we

76
00:04:48,193 --> 00:04:51,345
reading? We are reading Begging the Blue Liner

77
00:04:51,385 --> 00:04:55,009
by Sienna Trapp. Again with a name that is

78
00:04:55,097 --> 00:04:57,817
probably a pen name. Oh, absolutely.

79
00:04:57,881 --> 00:05:01,705
Yeah. Yeah. Sienna Trapp was the one that had the

80
00:05:01,785 --> 00:05:05,193
Christmas book on her website that she

81
00:05:05,209 --> 00:05:09,017
was advertising. When I looked up to do her author notes,

82
00:05:09,121 --> 00:05:12,457
she. What was the holiday book? I can't remember what

83
00:05:12,481 --> 00:05:15,401
it was called. And I was.

84
00:05:15,513 --> 00:05:18,657
I was considering reading it. Maybe I'll read it. What else

85
00:05:18,681 --> 00:05:22,073
am I doing? I don't know. I'm gonna be hosting

86
00:05:22,169 --> 00:05:25,769
Thanksgiving and Christmas. And Dave, and I don't.

87
00:05:25,817 --> 00:05:29,433
Any incidental wall. Not really doing either. Well,

88
00:05:29,489 --> 00:05:32,865
I love that for you. No, you do have a Christmas Tree up, though.

89
00:05:32,945 --> 00:05:36,481
We do have our Christmas tree up. And we will go to see

90
00:05:36,513 --> 00:05:40,369
his parents for sure before Christmas. Sure. But Thanksgiving

91
00:05:40,417 --> 00:05:44,765
we do alone. Wow, I love that for you guys. Cute little.

92
00:05:45,265 --> 00:05:48,889
I'm a little pissed off. So maybe I won't go to Thanksgiving. I haven't decided

93
00:05:48,977 --> 00:05:51,925
yet. Are you gonna have like one of those, like,

94
00:05:52,405 --> 00:05:55,305
showdowns with your red family?

95
00:05:57,485 --> 00:06:01,125
I don't know that it would be a showdown at this

96
00:06:01,165 --> 00:06:04,869
point as much as it would be just passive aggressive. My sister

97
00:06:04,917 --> 00:06:08,093
might murder my family. Yeah. She is

98
00:06:08,149 --> 00:06:11,453
thinking of running through office. She's like, I need to be

99
00:06:11,469 --> 00:06:14,493
doing more. Yeah. I. I love your sister. Oh, my God.

100
00:06:14,549 --> 00:06:18,619
Does she want to be friends with me? So then when she. I will

101
00:06:18,707 --> 00:06:21,923
help her. My family knows how I feel about. It,

102
00:06:22,059 --> 00:06:25,603
so they're at least respectful. My mom

103
00:06:25,659 --> 00:06:29,187
tries to be sure she does. She will be the first person to tell my

104
00:06:29,211 --> 00:06:32,035
dad, like, stop. Just stop it now.

105
00:06:32,115 --> 00:06:35,495
You're making her mad. She's not going to come anymore. She'll say things like that,

106
00:06:35,915 --> 00:06:39,515
you know. Yeah, no, I actually,

107
00:06:39,555 --> 00:06:42,179
I'm glad that we were talking about this now because I did just want to

108
00:06:42,187 --> 00:06:45,401
bring up. We talked about this earlier, but we. I was posting on

109
00:06:45,433 --> 00:06:49,617
Instagram last night and we had skipped our

110
00:06:49,801 --> 00:06:53,985
episode the week of the election. And then the very next

111
00:06:54,025 --> 00:06:57,521
step. The book that we did last week, the week after that was

112
00:06:57,713 --> 00:07:01,049
Pucking around by Emily Raith. And I went onto Instagram and

113
00:07:01,057 --> 00:07:04,241
Emily Wraith is all over Instagram, basically telling people that if they voted

114
00:07:04,273 --> 00:07:08,065
for Trump, she doesn't want them as readers. And I love that. Love that.

115
00:07:08,145 --> 00:07:11,281
And I was so thrilled that of all the books that we picked, I mean,

116
00:07:11,473 --> 00:07:15,173
these books. Right. Then what are we gonna do? Oh my God. I know.

117
00:07:15,189 --> 00:07:18,013
I sent you that. Tick tock in Fear. Yeah, I think I said I need

118
00:07:18,029 --> 00:07:21,549
to buy hard copies of these, not just Kindle Unlimited, just in case. We can

119
00:07:21,557 --> 00:07:24,145
have like an underground podcast.

120
00:07:24,725 --> 00:07:28,645
Yes. And an underground library of muddy

121
00:07:28,685 --> 00:07:32,493
books. Yes. Yeah. Sign me up for that. Yeah. We are

122
00:07:32,549 --> 00:07:35,853
going to start buying these books. Trigger warnings

123
00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:39,479
for begging the blue liner. I did have to go to

124
00:07:39,647 --> 00:07:43,375
the website to find these. So these were not in the book.

125
00:07:43,535 --> 00:07:47,351
But the trigger warnings for this book are including but

126
00:07:47,383 --> 00:07:50,671
not limited to pregnancy, side characters only,

127
00:07:50,863 --> 00:07:54,495
injury involving head trauma, hospitalization, choking during sex,

128
00:07:54,575 --> 00:07:58,595
degradation, consensual non consent and exhibitionism.

129
00:07:59,175 --> 00:08:02,515
Remember how you said last week that those trigger warnings were

130
00:08:03,145 --> 00:08:06,793
to you? Yeah, I feel that way too. Warnings.

131
00:08:06,849 --> 00:08:10,441
Because this authors don't. Well, it's just like. I don't know. It doesn't say author's

132
00:08:10,473 --> 00:08:14,185
note, but it says for the girls whose mouth often run away with them getting

133
00:08:14,225 --> 00:08:17,345
them into the best kinds of trouble. I see you. I am you.

134
00:08:17,465 --> 00:08:20,377
Don't let anyone convince you to tone it down. If they don't like it,

135
00:08:20,401 --> 00:08:23,481
they can off you're perfect as you are. Wow,

136
00:08:23,593 --> 00:08:26,977
I love that. That is a good author's note. Right? I do like that.

137
00:08:27,001 --> 00:08:30,165
I don't need her permission. So there's also a playlist.

138
00:08:30,515 --> 00:08:34,371
Some women do, though. I know you're right. You know, you are

139
00:08:34,443 --> 00:08:37,763
starting out. You're coming. Yeah. Well, the thing is, this book is

140
00:08:37,779 --> 00:08:41,443
so popular. This book gets recommended all the time in

141
00:08:41,459 --> 00:08:45,283
my Anytime anybody asks for a hockey book, this book and

142
00:08:45,379 --> 00:08:50,171
around get recommended and I dis.

143
00:08:50,283 --> 00:08:53,027
Good. All right.

144
00:08:53,211 --> 00:08:56,943
Well, our prologue starts with meeting

145
00:08:57,039 --> 00:09:01,559
Cal Berg, a undersized Canadian

146
00:09:01,727 --> 00:09:05,135
who was drafted by the Connecticut Comets. They took a chance

147
00:09:05,175 --> 00:09:08,855
on him due to his, quote, offensive minded defensive

148
00:09:08,975 --> 00:09:12,343
play and while playing hockey in college for four years,

149
00:09:12,439 --> 00:09:16,455
grew into his size. And this is where our story begins.

150
00:09:16,615 --> 00:09:21,055
At an annual kickoff event for training camp where he

151
00:09:21,095 --> 00:09:25,359
is aggressively approached by our female main character, Hannah Morrow,

152
00:09:25,447 --> 00:09:29,531
who is the coach's daughter and has some hot takes on his

153
00:09:29,563 --> 00:09:33,259
abilities on the ice, calling him a liability.

154
00:09:33,427 --> 00:09:37,395
And when I say aggressively approached, I mean she stops

155
00:09:37,515 --> 00:09:41,939
across. Yes. Stomps across the barbecue

156
00:09:42,107 --> 00:09:45,323
to get in his face, does not even introduce herself or say hello,

157
00:09:45,379 --> 00:09:48,787
just walks up to. Him and is like, immediately critiquing him immediately.

158
00:09:48,851 --> 00:09:52,867
I did like his little POV here where he is like trying to figure

159
00:09:52,891 --> 00:09:55,827
out how he knows her because obviously thinking that the woman's walking up to him,

160
00:09:55,851 --> 00:09:59,357
he must know her and he's like, did I sleep with her and

161
00:09:59,381 --> 00:10:03,133
not remember it? Yeah. Which I loved. As much as I don't like the

162
00:10:03,149 --> 00:10:06,365
main character in this one, I actually really like him a lot. Interesting.

163
00:10:06,485 --> 00:10:09,813
I really don't. Their initial interaction is

164
00:10:09,869 --> 00:10:13,365
hostile and we learn here that all of the coach's daughters

165
00:10:13,405 --> 00:10:16,453
are off limits to players. And despite this,

166
00:10:16,629 --> 00:10:20,381
Cal realizes that he has a crush on Hannah. I don't

167
00:10:20,533 --> 00:10:24,915
like the way that he describes her physically. Okay. He describes

168
00:10:24,955 --> 00:10:28,491
her as skirting the line between girl and woman,

169
00:10:28,683 --> 00:10:32,243
which is gross. And I understand that we are

170
00:10:32,299 --> 00:10:35,363
18 in this one. I know, it's still gross,

171
00:10:35,419 --> 00:10:39,027
right? Yeah. They're 18 here. Or I think he's older. Maybe they're

172
00:10:39,051 --> 00:10:42,571
on like, okay, wait, no. She'S done with college, so she's probably

173
00:10:42,643 --> 00:10:46,095
18. 17. 18. No, she's 21, he's 24.

174
00:10:47,755 --> 00:10:51,071
So. Okay. I mean, still, I didn't

175
00:10:51,183 --> 00:10:53,951
I don't like it either. I really don't either. It's sort of this play on,

176
00:10:53,983 --> 00:10:57,559
like, oh, she looks childlike, which is gay. But that's not

177
00:10:57,567 --> 00:11:01,127
the main point of our story here. This is a prologue. He can

178
00:11:01,151 --> 00:11:04,487
be a little creepy. I have. Half of our men were creeps

179
00:11:04,511 --> 00:11:08,475
when they were in there. That's actually very true. I've definitely dated some creeps.

180
00:11:09,455 --> 00:11:13,367
Was your husband a creep? My husband was the consummate gentleman from the

181
00:11:13,391 --> 00:11:17,197
moment that I met him. He was always incredibly respectful.

182
00:11:17,391 --> 00:11:20,577
Made it very clear from very early on that he was not

183
00:11:20,601 --> 00:11:23,497
in it just for sex, even though that was basically all we were doing.

184
00:11:23,641 --> 00:11:25,205
That's all you were in it for.

185
00:11:27,305 --> 00:11:30,177
This is morning sex to me. He asked me to be his. He made,

186
00:11:30,201 --> 00:11:33,913
like, a formal show of, like, asking me to be his girlfriend. He was

187
00:11:34,009 --> 00:11:37,433
very, very. Yeah, not creepy at

188
00:11:37,449 --> 00:11:40,769
all. He's still not creepy, honestly. Well, good for you.

189
00:11:40,937 --> 00:11:44,177
Chapter one takes place ten years later.

190
00:11:44,321 --> 00:11:47,641
Hannah opens, sharing her family's history. She's the youngest

191
00:11:47,673 --> 00:11:51,597
of three girls. Her sister are 10 and eight years older than her,

192
00:11:51,741 --> 00:11:55,669
and her dad is a renowned head coach in

193
00:11:55,677 --> 00:11:58,757
the NHL. Despite the very strict

194
00:11:58,821 --> 00:12:02,317
rules that he has, Hannah is determined to beg

195
00:12:02,381 --> 00:12:06,381
a player with her knowledge and love of happy. She feels like a player is

196
00:12:06,413 --> 00:12:09,637
her best match. However, the coach's players fear

197
00:12:09,701 --> 00:12:13,037
him too much to break his dating rules

198
00:12:13,101 --> 00:12:16,447
about his daughters. Hannah has a knack

199
00:12:16,551 --> 00:12:20,039
for identifying talent, and this opening chapter consists

200
00:12:20,087 --> 00:12:23,511
of her helping review scouting tapes for draft picks.

201
00:12:23,703 --> 00:12:27,631
After a series of failed jobs, her dad offers her a

202
00:12:27,663 --> 00:12:30,967
position as the travel coordinator for the Comets,

203
00:12:31,071 --> 00:12:34,743
which she accepts. Do you want to give her physical description for

204
00:12:34,759 --> 00:12:38,551
Hannah? I do. I also want to say I. I loved

205
00:12:38,703 --> 00:12:42,199
Hannah to start with. I loved

206
00:12:42,247 --> 00:12:44,719
that somebody told her she can't do something. So she's like, I'm going to do

207
00:12:44,727 --> 00:12:48,747
it harder. I'm going it. Just watch like

208
00:12:48,811 --> 00:12:52,255
you're. You think you're the coach and that you can say, no,

209
00:12:53,315 --> 00:12:56,603
Watch me. You are the least obstinate person

210
00:12:56,659 --> 00:13:00,027
I know in real life, and I. It's so funny to me how much.

211
00:13:00,051 --> 00:13:03,435
You love that because you. Because in real life,

212
00:13:03,515 --> 00:13:06,411
you are one of the most, like, laid back,

213
00:13:06,443 --> 00:13:09,891
chill people I know, so. But if somebody tells me I can't

214
00:13:09,923 --> 00:13:13,949
do something, I am going to do it. I. I'm gonna

215
00:13:13,997 --> 00:13:18,421
screw it. I'm gonna screw his dad, I'm gonna screw his friend. I do

216
00:13:18,453 --> 00:13:22,405
not tell me I can't do something. So I really identified

217
00:13:22,445 --> 00:13:25,757
with her. Okay. Obviously, I've grown up, been with Dave

218
00:13:25,781 --> 00:13:28,661
for 10 years. 11 years. So,

219
00:13:28,813 --> 00:13:31,825
yeah, I don't. But still, when Dave tells me, no,

220
00:13:32,165 --> 00:13:35,185
I'm gonna do it. I love that for Dave.

221
00:13:36,245 --> 00:13:38,265
He's so lucky. He is.

222
00:13:38,855 --> 00:13:42,639
Okay, so Hannah, she has long, brown highlighted

223
00:13:42,687 --> 00:13:45,435
hair, a toned body, blue eyes.

224
00:13:46,015 --> 00:13:49,887
And cal is massive, six five,

225
00:13:49,951 --> 00:13:53,583
£240, blonde hair that covers his ears.

226
00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:57,607
He's super hot. Tattoos and blue eyes. So they're both

227
00:13:57,671 --> 00:14:01,183
very hot people. Yeah. Well. And I did like that she isn't

228
00:14:01,359 --> 00:14:04,807
thin. She's toned. I did really like that the

229
00:14:04,831 --> 00:14:08,667
author makes it a point that she's very, like, well muscled.

230
00:14:08,831 --> 00:14:12,227
We learned that Cal's crush has turned into bitter dislike

231
00:14:12,251 --> 00:14:15,595
of Hannah over the last 10 years. His biggest gripe being that

232
00:14:15,635 --> 00:14:17,815
she doesn't want him.

233
00:14:19,955 --> 00:14:22,931
Which is funny because she clearly would.

234
00:14:23,083 --> 00:14:26,707
Oh, yes. It doesn't make sense to me.

235
00:14:26,891 --> 00:14:30,051
He wants you, you want a player.

236
00:14:30,203 --> 00:14:33,763
But it. The whole thing is chaotic.

237
00:14:33,899 --> 00:14:37,659
They earned each other. He still harbors some feelings

238
00:14:37,707 --> 00:14:41,051
for her. He describes them as having verbal

239
00:14:41,123 --> 00:14:44,563
sparring matches. And although she drives him crazy,

240
00:14:44,619 --> 00:14:48,219
he's also completely turned on by it. Yeah. Right away. That love and hate

241
00:14:48,267 --> 00:14:51,531
thing, I really hate that.

242
00:14:51,563 --> 00:14:55,235
You like that, don't you? Yeah. Yeah, I do. Almost enemies

243
00:14:55,275 --> 00:14:58,347
to lovers. Yeah. Which can get cringy in real life.

244
00:14:58,451 --> 00:15:01,723
Yeah. So I feel like this is a fine way to do it.

245
00:15:01,859 --> 00:15:05,529
Like, she hates his hockey playing and. Mm. All they do is fight.

246
00:15:05,697 --> 00:15:08,889
I have a very short list of people that I've hate flirted,

247
00:15:08,937 --> 00:15:12,385
and hate fucked. Very, very short. Oh, same. It's not

248
00:15:12,425 --> 00:15:15,665
long at all. I really like to watch it and read about it,

249
00:15:15,825 --> 00:15:19,241
but in real life, if I hate somebody and they try to touch me,

250
00:15:19,273 --> 00:15:22,565
kiss me, anything. Punch him in the face. Yeah, I'm gonna get violent.

251
00:15:23,705 --> 00:15:26,809
He shares here that he's aging and possibly coming up on the end of his

252
00:15:26,857 --> 00:15:30,565
career, and he is desperate for a championship

253
00:15:30,705 --> 00:15:33,885
and really feeling the pressure of his age. Because at now, at this point,

254
00:15:33,925 --> 00:15:38,109
he's 34, she's 31. I do like that they are older.

255
00:15:38,197 --> 00:15:41,025
I also like that as well. However,

256
00:15:43,485 --> 00:15:46,157
Hannah acts like she's 17.

257
00:15:46,301 --> 00:15:50,301
She really does. And I don't like that, which is one of my biggest gripes

258
00:15:50,333 --> 00:15:54,437
about her. At the annual barbecue, this is a decade later,

259
00:15:54,581 --> 00:15:58,661
the coach approaches him and asks a favor of him. He'd like Cal to

260
00:15:58,693 --> 00:16:01,733
keep Hannah out of trouble on the road.

261
00:16:01,909 --> 00:16:05,589
Knowing how Cal and Hannah fight, the coach feels like

262
00:16:05,637 --> 00:16:08,445
he is the safest option to keep an eye on her,

263
00:16:08,525 --> 00:16:12,469
which was his first mistake. I know. I also do

264
00:16:12,517 --> 00:16:16,145
hate that, like, overbearing dad trope.

265
00:16:16,525 --> 00:16:19,645
31. I know. Let her screw who she

266
00:16:19,685 --> 00:16:23,325
wants to. Oh, my God. Let her. Kidding me. Her life. Are you kidding me?

267
00:16:23,405 --> 00:16:26,831
31 years old, she's still living in their basement. Yeah.

268
00:16:26,933 --> 00:16:29,855
He gets her this job to, like, finally have her move on out.

269
00:16:30,435 --> 00:16:33,243
She does not want to grow up either. Yeah,

270
00:16:33,339 --> 00:16:36,843
I agree with that. My mom, when I was about,

271
00:16:37,019 --> 00:16:40,291
I was probably mid-20s, I went over to her house for dinner, and she had

272
00:16:40,323 --> 00:16:44,235
made cookies, and it was, like, before dinner. And I,

273
00:16:44,275 --> 00:16:48,067
like, helped myself to a cookie. 25, mid 20s here.

274
00:16:48,171 --> 00:16:51,227
Helped myself to a cookie, and she was like, no cookies before dinner.

275
00:16:51,291 --> 00:16:54,535
And I didn't talk to her for, like, months after that.

276
00:16:56,915 --> 00:16:59,283
You're gonna tell me that I can't have sex with who I want to have

277
00:16:59,299 --> 00:17:01,655
sex with at 31? Literally,

278
00:17:02,155 --> 00:17:05,747
no. This book very much centers

279
00:17:05,811 --> 00:17:09,955
a lot of the friendships that Cal and Hannah have. There are

280
00:17:10,035 --> 00:17:13,147
a lot of friends. I did not feel like

281
00:17:13,171 --> 00:17:16,603
the friends served any purpose of the story, and I don't talk about them at

282
00:17:16,619 --> 00:17:19,375
all. I don't either at all. So I agree with that.

283
00:17:19,964 --> 00:17:23,504
While at the barbecue, Hannah shares with her friends her new position

284
00:17:24,204 --> 00:17:27,308
and her ambitions to find a hockey player husband.

285
00:17:27,436 --> 00:17:31,044
She says here, I'm too old to be slumming with

286
00:17:31,084 --> 00:17:34,516
guys who barely have enough cash for drinks at the club. I deserve

287
00:17:34,540 --> 00:17:37,988
to be with a guy who's going to bend me over balconies

288
00:17:38,076 --> 00:17:41,604
all over the world. That was the one and only thing that she

289
00:17:41,644 --> 00:17:44,824
says in this entire book that I enjoyed. I love that.

290
00:17:45,615 --> 00:17:48,807
I did love that she knows what she wants. She's just

291
00:17:48,831 --> 00:17:51,927
kind of being a brat about it. Yeah. I also love in the scene that

292
00:17:51,951 --> 00:17:55,407
her friends are sort of telling her to slow down, accept her

293
00:17:55,471 --> 00:17:59,055
age, settle down, and she really is not willing

294
00:17:59,095 --> 00:18:02,519
to sacrifice or give up on what her dreams and her goals are.

295
00:18:02,567 --> 00:18:05,463
Yeah. Don't they, like, talk about, like, oh, you need to start a family and

296
00:18:05,479 --> 00:18:09,511
have kids? Like, no. Yeah. She's like, no, no. I haven't

297
00:18:09,543 --> 00:18:13,367
soaked my wild oats yet. So. Which I really appreciate that she

298
00:18:13,391 --> 00:18:16,191
can stand up for herself, because that's a lot of pressure to take from these

299
00:18:16,223 --> 00:18:19,127
people that you've been friends with forever. I told you, too. If I was still

300
00:18:19,151 --> 00:18:20,875
single, now, I'd be throwing it around.

301
00:18:21,815 --> 00:18:25,543
Same. Are you kidding me? Like, I honestly

302
00:18:25,599 --> 00:18:28,919
feel like everybody should get married. Look it, I think everybody

303
00:18:28,967 --> 00:18:32,703
should marry young, okay? Be married

304
00:18:32,879 --> 00:18:37,079
for, I don't know, give it six years, then divorced,

305
00:18:37,207 --> 00:18:40,335
and then go out in the world and play. I think it's better

306
00:18:40,375 --> 00:18:43,527
that Way I wouldn't have done. I don't think nearly the amount

307
00:18:43,551 --> 00:18:47,295
of things that I did. I didn't pay me to give a foot job

308
00:18:47,335 --> 00:18:50,475
now. Sure. I.

309
00:18:52,655 --> 00:18:56,703
Think like I'm. Now I'm almost 40 and I'm like, I've never

310
00:18:56,879 --> 00:19:00,431
really given like a. I mean, obviously, like I've done things with my feet,

311
00:19:00,543 --> 00:19:04,185
but I've never given a, you know, college try

312
00:19:04,265 --> 00:19:07,297
of just a full blown foot job. And I just

313
00:19:07,321 --> 00:19:10,793
feel like I'm missing out. Well, I'm never going to have

314
00:19:10,809 --> 00:19:14,481
that experience. You're really not? No. And I.

315
00:19:14,553 --> 00:19:17,129
But I would not be doing that now. So if I would have gotten married

316
00:19:17,177 --> 00:19:20,401
young, I would have missed out on my reckless years where. How did I

317
00:19:20,433 --> 00:19:24,433
survive it? Fair. See, And I would be doing it now.

318
00:19:24,609 --> 00:19:27,817
I. Nothing would stop. I don't think you. What? You would not be just finding

319
00:19:27,841 --> 00:19:31,869
somebody on Tinder. You. You don't know me if you

320
00:19:31,957 --> 00:19:34,905
think. That you don't know.

321
00:19:36,685 --> 00:19:40,101
Like, I didn't like, in retrospect. Well, I know,

322
00:19:40,133 --> 00:19:44,029
but now it just. Sounds like a good time. It is such a good

323
00:19:44,077 --> 00:19:47,685
story. Oh, my God,

324
00:19:47,725 --> 00:19:50,705
Page, are you gonna come and listen to all of our recordings? This.

325
00:19:52,885 --> 00:19:56,471
Is so fun for you. Where are we in this book?

326
00:19:56,583 --> 00:20:00,311
All right. It's so boring. I know. Oh, my gosh.

327
00:20:00,423 --> 00:20:03,207
She was just talking about how she is still sewing her wild out. She doesn't

328
00:20:03,231 --> 00:20:07,111
want to. Oh, yeah. So Hannah's

329
00:20:07,143 --> 00:20:11,351
best friend Natalie is married to pal's best friend,

330
00:20:11,503 --> 00:20:14,951
Jackson. So they're still at this barbecue. Jackson makes his

331
00:20:14,983 --> 00:20:18,919
way over to their friend group. Hannah immediately

332
00:20:18,967 --> 00:20:22,527
picks a fight because she's just the fucking worst.

333
00:20:22,711 --> 00:20:26,615
They start talking about each other's chastity and like

334
00:20:26,695 --> 00:20:30,599
how frequently she's at the bar versus how many times he brings.

335
00:20:30,687 --> 00:20:33,887
Well, doesn't he tell her? He tells her she needs

336
00:20:33,911 --> 00:20:37,967
to behave on the road and she's like, pot calling kettle black.

337
00:20:38,111 --> 00:20:41,775
Yeah. Which I get. But he literally goes over there

338
00:20:41,815 --> 00:20:44,887
and. She like, immediately, they just. Yeah,

339
00:20:44,951 --> 00:20:48,511
they describe her as like taking a step forward to

340
00:20:48,543 --> 00:20:51,687
verbally. He hasn't even said anything. Yeah, she's ready to verbally spy

341
00:20:51,711 --> 00:20:55,423
with him. Her friends leave. Yeah, she steps forward and her friends are like,

342
00:20:55,479 --> 00:20:59,191
we gotta get out of here. We don't have time for this. These two

343
00:20:59,343 --> 00:21:02,783
can just. Whatever. Anyways, they share a

344
00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:06,095
heated moment here where Cal says that she will

345
00:21:06,135 --> 00:21:09,847
behave herself. And Hannah says, what are you going to do?

346
00:21:09,991 --> 00:21:12,551
Make me? And Cal gets up in her face and is like,

347
00:21:12,623 --> 00:21:16,029
yeah. And it's very sexy. It's very sexy. It really

348
00:21:16,077 --> 00:21:18,585
Is. Yeah. Attention is great. Yeah.

349
00:21:18,885 --> 00:21:22,621
They head out on their first road trip of the season with Hannah as

350
00:21:22,653 --> 00:21:26,757
their coordinator. And the cock blocking begins.

351
00:21:26,821 --> 00:21:30,725
It starts when he tells one of the younger players to watch himself after whistling

352
00:21:30,765 --> 00:21:34,213
at Hannah, preceded by Cal picking Hannah up in

353
00:21:34,229 --> 00:21:38,149
the locker room because she's wearing flip flops. This was kind

354
00:21:38,157 --> 00:21:41,719
of dumb. I. When her reasoning. Yes. Yeah.

355
00:21:41,847 --> 00:21:44,623
Stupid. Yeah. They don't talk about it here. They talk about it later. I didn't

356
00:21:44,639 --> 00:21:47,903
even write it down, but. I don't feel like having things on

357
00:21:47,919 --> 00:21:51,235
her feet. Yeah. She has foot claustrophobia, she calls it.

358
00:21:51,815 --> 00:21:55,831
And literally, which is, you know, I just, I get

359
00:21:55,863 --> 00:21:59,495
it. Like as somebody, as somebody who does

360
00:21:59,535 --> 00:22:02,879
not like things touching my body in specific ways.

361
00:22:02,927 --> 00:22:06,423
I don't like things that are restricting. I generally not

362
00:22:06,479 --> 00:22:09,831
like a real big shoe person in general. So I

363
00:22:09,863 --> 00:22:13,379
get it. But also, babe, you're in a

364
00:22:13,427 --> 00:22:17,139
locker room with states that will slight. They look.

365
00:22:17,187 --> 00:22:20,643
They kill people. Your feet,

366
00:22:20,699 --> 00:22:23,843
your toes off. Yeah. This is dumb. This is a

367
00:22:23,859 --> 00:22:27,455
dumb way to like make her seem deep. Yeah. I. It's not for me.

368
00:22:27,955 --> 00:22:31,603
This author is going to hate us. We're not getting this book. We're not

369
00:22:31,659 --> 00:22:34,987
getting anything from this. We're not. Well, maybe we'll read the Christmas book.

370
00:22:35,011 --> 00:22:38,653
And I'll read it. The sex scenes in this book are

371
00:22:38,709 --> 00:22:42,021
good. I agree with that. So I just don't like the characters.

372
00:22:42,093 --> 00:22:45,765
I don't like the way that the characters are written. Hannah is loving her new

373
00:22:45,805 --> 00:22:49,213
job and after a game, she arranges an after game

374
00:22:49,269 --> 00:22:53,485
get together at a local club where she invites the male

375
00:22:53,565 --> 00:22:57,037
travel coordinator for a rival team in hopes

376
00:22:57,061 --> 00:23:01,381
of him bringing players from his team.

377
00:23:01,573 --> 00:23:04,871
And I know that I just said that there are some good parts in this

378
00:23:04,903 --> 00:23:08,511
book, but I hate this dress up scene.

379
00:23:08,703 --> 00:23:12,303
Like, like she's like, I went and I put on

380
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,919
my body con my hair in

381
00:23:15,967 --> 00:23:19,439
perfect waves and I sprayed myself with a Givenchy

382
00:23:19,567 --> 00:23:23,415
perfume and like whatever. And it's just like it dates the book.

383
00:23:23,535 --> 00:23:26,879
It makes her look so. It makes her look like

384
00:23:26,887 --> 00:23:30,649
a rain. Yeah. It's just, it's. I. No.

385
00:23:30,777 --> 00:23:34,805
You're a 31 year old successful hockey professional

386
00:23:35,105 --> 00:23:38,609
looking for your future husband and you're putting on pheromone oil.

387
00:23:38,737 --> 00:23:41,817
I know, I agree with that. Anyways,

388
00:23:41,921 --> 00:23:45,193
she ditches Jake for one of the players that he brings.

389
00:23:45,329 --> 00:23:49,121
They share a sexy moment in VIP before hitting the dance floor

390
00:23:49,313 --> 00:23:52,681
again. This whole thing feels so fucking sloppy to me and

391
00:23:52,753 --> 00:23:56,593
agreed. And immature. And she is.

392
00:23:56,649 --> 00:23:59,993
Hannah is 31 and she is written like a 21 year old yes.

393
00:24:00,089 --> 00:24:03,633
Yeah, absolutely. Your goal is to find a husband

394
00:24:03,729 --> 00:24:07,561
and you are having. Basically having sex on the dance floor. On the

395
00:24:07,593 --> 00:24:10,857
dance floor. And yeah, there are cameras.

396
00:24:11,041 --> 00:24:14,105
Something. I am all about female empowerment. So if you

397
00:24:14,145 --> 00:24:16,489
want to go to a club and you want to have sex on the dance

398
00:24:16,537 --> 00:24:19,881
floor in your bodycon dress and your cooker heels,

399
00:24:19,993 --> 00:24:23,571
Live your best life, babe. But don't be like,

400
00:24:23,643 --> 00:24:27,259
I'm looking for my husband. I agree. Too good.

401
00:24:27,387 --> 00:24:30,547
Like, man, I agree with that. And she like,

402
00:24:30,611 --> 00:24:33,883
actively is almost like shaming her friends for their. Like,

403
00:24:33,979 --> 00:24:37,523
it's how it's like so boring because they have kids and she can't. Yeah.

404
00:24:37,579 --> 00:24:41,219
With them. Like, ma'am. She does make that point a couple times

405
00:24:41,307 --> 00:24:45,043
where she's going out alone. I don't like people

406
00:24:45,219 --> 00:24:47,979
you probably would do something like this. So I'm so sorry. I can't even look

407
00:24:47,987 --> 00:24:52,335
at you when I say it. I don't like people who feign friendship.

408
00:24:52,715 --> 00:24:55,907
But I made a note that her texting Jake

409
00:24:56,051 --> 00:24:59,491
to bring his flayers out is 100 something I would do. Yeah, it sounds like

410
00:24:59,523 --> 00:25:02,387
I read it. And I got him late. I get it.

411
00:25:02,451 --> 00:25:06,455
She found him a girl too. She was 100 using. She was manipulating

412
00:25:07,035 --> 00:25:09,843
Jake to come out thinking that he had a shot with her when she's just

413
00:25:09,859 --> 00:25:13,563
gonna his player. Yeah, I know. And I don't like that because

414
00:25:13,619 --> 00:25:16,761
poor Jake was like, I'm gonna get. Oh, Hannah likes me.

415
00:25:16,793 --> 00:25:20,601
She knows. So excited. And then she ditches

416
00:25:20,633 --> 00:25:24,249
him immediately. And then she says some really super stuck up shit.

417
00:25:24,297 --> 00:25:27,353
Like, Jake's an okay looking guy. I'm sure he can get one of the

418
00:25:27,369 --> 00:25:30,713
bartenders while she's actively trying to get her with a hockey player.

419
00:25:30,809 --> 00:25:31,445
I.

420
00:25:35,465 --> 00:25:39,201
I have such big feelings about it. While dancing with

421
00:25:39,233 --> 00:25:41,645
Maddox. Or with Maddox. Is that his name? Yeah.

422
00:25:41,975 --> 00:25:45,367
Cal interrupts. And again, I really like

423
00:25:45,391 --> 00:25:48,943
Cal. I love that he says exactly what I just said. He gets out

424
00:25:48,959 --> 00:25:52,295
there and he calls her immature. Yeah. He takes Hannah back to his

425
00:25:52,335 --> 00:25:55,807
place not knowing where she lives or how to get her

426
00:25:55,871 --> 00:25:58,847
home. And because she's so drunk that she.

427
00:25:58,911 --> 00:26:00,475
Passes out on his shoulder.

428
00:26:01,455 --> 00:26:05,375
And he sleeps in a chair

429
00:26:05,495 --> 00:26:09,155
in his own house while she sleeps in his bed. I did

430
00:26:09,195 --> 00:26:12,691
not love though. He undresses her. I know.

431
00:26:12,763 --> 00:26:16,115
I did not like that. Yeah, like, make it cute. Like,

432
00:26:16,155 --> 00:26:19,615
oh, you would have been so uncomfortable sitting your bodycon dress.

433
00:26:19,995 --> 00:26:23,131
You do not have my permission to undress me. Yeah,

434
00:26:23,243 --> 00:26:26,723
I agree. So. I really hated that. Thank you.

435
00:26:26,859 --> 00:26:30,755
I know I told you I hate this book. It's the most validating book

436
00:26:30,795 --> 00:26:33,963
review we've ever done. It really is. It's the most we've agreed

437
00:26:33,979 --> 00:26:36,577
on anything and it's hate. Yeah.

438
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:39,689
Wow. Nothing brings people together more than hate. That's so true.

439
00:26:39,737 --> 00:26:43,285
Yeah. I just. She wakes up in the morning

440
00:26:43,585 --> 00:26:46,761
and I. I agree with you. Super annoying.

441
00:26:46,833 --> 00:26:50,925
But also, he took you home. You were drunk.

442
00:26:51,265 --> 00:26:54,205
He took care of you, and it's like,

443
00:26:55,705 --> 00:26:59,009
be mad at him for changing your clothes. Don't be mad at him

444
00:26:59,057 --> 00:27:02,755
for blocking you and taking care of you. And like, I don't know. I just.

445
00:27:02,915 --> 00:27:06,251
Hatred of him does seem kind of unwarranted.

446
00:27:06,363 --> 00:27:09,643
She's just picking up. Yeah. It turns out

447
00:27:09,659 --> 00:27:12,763
that they live in the same apartment building on different floors. He lives in the

448
00:27:12,779 --> 00:27:16,315
penthouse and she lives in an apartment a couple

449
00:27:16,355 --> 00:27:20,091
floors down. And she calls

450
00:27:20,123 --> 00:27:23,979
her friends and then her friends tell her that

451
00:27:24,027 --> 00:27:27,929
their team, Hannah and Cal. So they have been waiting

452
00:27:27,977 --> 00:27:32,225
for this to happen. They've been reading all the hostility of sexual tension

453
00:27:32,345 --> 00:27:36,217
this whole time. I think that is maybe unrealistic.

454
00:27:36,281 --> 00:27:40,057
I don't know. I feel like if I saw you having sexual tension with somebody,

455
00:27:40,201 --> 00:27:43,665
I would have said something. Oh. Immediately. Why are her

456
00:27:43,705 --> 00:27:47,805
best friends who. They tell everything. Yeah. They talk about everything

457
00:27:48,225 --> 00:27:52,823
in this positions. Everything. And they didn't say anything about.

458
00:27:53,009 --> 00:27:56,187
Yeah, it's weird. Some guy wants to me and I'm oblivious.

459
00:27:56,251 --> 00:28:00,163
You better tell me. I would tell you. Thank you. Pagle, would you tell her?

460
00:28:00,299 --> 00:28:01,815
Pagle would tell you too.

461
00:28:04,715 --> 00:28:08,395
On their next leg of games, they head to a local bar where Cal

462
00:28:08,475 --> 00:28:12,291
finds Hannah flirting with three men.

463
00:28:12,443 --> 00:28:16,291
Again, does not align with your goals

464
00:28:16,363 --> 00:28:19,715
at all. I would have done that, but again, I wasn't trying to get married.

465
00:28:19,795 --> 00:28:23,011
Yeah. And that's all she wants. Yes. She wants to find her

466
00:28:23,043 --> 00:28:26,447
hockey player and she's like flir flirting with three businessmen at the bar.

467
00:28:26,511 --> 00:28:29,783
And it's just like, I don't. Can we get. She's only flirting with

468
00:28:29,799 --> 00:28:33,119
them to make the players jealous. I think at this point she is trying to

469
00:28:33,127 --> 00:28:36,631
make Cal jealous. Oh, I agree. Yeah, absolutely. And it works because

470
00:28:36,663 --> 00:28:40,287
he takes a blonde up to his room in retaliation and to

471
00:28:40,311 --> 00:28:44,087
his dismay, can't get it up for Sarah, Sophie, Sasha, whatever her name

472
00:28:44,111 --> 00:28:48,119
is. Hannah wakes up the next day to a drunken voicemail from Cal

473
00:28:48,247 --> 00:28:51,557
telling her to get out of his head. She spends the

474
00:28:51,581 --> 00:28:55,165
next day playing the voicemail on repeat and is so self

475
00:28:55,245 --> 00:28:58,965
absorbed that she almost misses her best friend's husband's

476
00:28:59,005 --> 00:29:02,317
adoption hearing for their kids. So she is

477
00:29:02,461 --> 00:29:06,173
listening to this voicemail from this man that she hates. She doesn't even like

478
00:29:06,229 --> 00:29:09,197
him and her friend calls her and is like,

479
00:29:09,301 --> 00:29:13,013
hey, we're at the courthouse, where. Yeah, I know. You're like,

480
00:29:13,029 --> 00:29:16,619
the godmother and you're not here. She is

481
00:29:16,757 --> 00:29:17,755
the worst.

482
00:29:21,295 --> 00:29:23,515
She's the worst. But she kind of reminds me of you.

483
00:29:24,615 --> 00:29:28,175
The thing is, is you are not this bad. Oh, man. You wouldn't miss

484
00:29:28,215 --> 00:29:31,479
something like that. I never would. You would never. I would be obsessing about it

485
00:29:31,487 --> 00:29:34,567
in my head and not listening to anything you were saying. Yeah, but I'd fucking

486
00:29:34,591 --> 00:29:38,311
be there. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. You are one of the most consistent people

487
00:29:38,383 --> 00:29:41,327
that I've ever met in my entire life. You are the first person to be

488
00:29:41,351 --> 00:29:44,001
like, we set a plan. What are we doing?

489
00:29:44,113 --> 00:29:46,833
Like, versus me. I'll be like, well, I know we set a plan, but,

490
00:29:46,849 --> 00:29:50,233
like, we'll just play by ear. That stresses me out so

491
00:29:50,249 --> 00:29:53,985
much. Yeah, well, that's why this works, because you forced me to.

492
00:29:54,105 --> 00:29:57,673
Honestly, in real life, I probably would have given up on this podcast after the

493
00:29:57,689 --> 00:30:00,985
first episode. That's what I do. I'm just having so much fun that.

494
00:30:01,025 --> 00:30:04,521
No, I don't wanna. It is. It's so much fun. And I don't have kids.

495
00:30:04,593 --> 00:30:07,481
I have cats. This gives me something to do. Only a reason to leave the

496
00:30:07,513 --> 00:30:11,015
house. I know, but I have the. I have

497
00:30:11,055 --> 00:30:14,767
this, like, thing where I'm resistant to things that I should be

498
00:30:14,791 --> 00:30:17,879
doing. And so that's why you'll be like,

499
00:30:17,927 --> 00:30:21,519
how's it going? And I'll be like, we're gonna record in five minutes.

500
00:30:21,567 --> 00:30:24,743
And I have 100 pages left of this book, literally. But you had to go

501
00:30:24,759 --> 00:30:26,275
buy plants. Yeah,

502
00:30:27,935 --> 00:30:30,703
they're special and important to my life.

503
00:30:30,879 --> 00:30:34,215
We're gonna dogpile the bad behavior here because

504
00:30:34,255 --> 00:30:37,839
then she. Speaking of obsessing about it while at

505
00:30:37,927 --> 00:30:41,511
the event. Right. While she is at

506
00:30:41,583 --> 00:30:45,551
this adoption, she is watching them all become

507
00:30:45,583 --> 00:30:49,087
this happy family. It's a joyous moment. Her best friend's

508
00:30:49,111 --> 00:30:52,791
husband is adopting her child from a previous marriage.

509
00:30:52,903 --> 00:30:55,863
They are just coming together as a family. And Hannah is like, when am I

510
00:30:55,879 --> 00:30:58,835
gonna get my happy ending? She's like,

511
00:30:59,815 --> 00:31:02,953
ma'am, you were flirting with previous last night all at

512
00:31:02,969 --> 00:31:06,753
one time. So I don't. When do you want your happy ending? I don't know.

513
00:31:06,809 --> 00:31:10,201
I actually does that, but maybe you don't. Yeah. Hannah decides

514
00:31:10,233 --> 00:31:13,425
that she's going to surprise Cal wearing nothing

515
00:31:13,465 --> 00:31:17,425
but his jersey. And I will absolutely be. For the first

516
00:31:17,465 --> 00:31:20,777
person to say, fucking queen. Yes, bitch. I. Yes, I would do

517
00:31:20,801 --> 00:31:24,529
this. And I do like to. She's not just trying to make him Jealous again.

518
00:31:24,577 --> 00:31:27,911
She is asking what she wants. She's going

519
00:31:27,943 --> 00:31:30,515
for it. Yeah. And I do like that. Yes.

520
00:31:31,135 --> 00:31:35,063
One point, Hannah. Yeah. See, I can

521
00:31:35,079 --> 00:31:38,159
be reasonable and nice. She accuses

522
00:31:38,207 --> 00:31:41,511
him of keeping her locked up, and he denies being

523
00:31:41,543 --> 00:31:45,087
attracted to her, which is just. They do. Like I said,

524
00:31:45,231 --> 00:31:49,191
each other. They do. She continues to egg him on until he loses

525
00:31:49,223 --> 00:31:53,041
it and pins her up against the wall by her throat. He says

526
00:31:53,073 --> 00:31:56,441
some things about using her smart mouth for better

527
00:31:56,513 --> 00:32:00,049
things, and she continues to tease him.

528
00:32:00,217 --> 00:32:03,641
He flips them around, pushes her down on her knees, and she

529
00:32:03,673 --> 00:32:07,177
takes his dick out. Of course, he's wearing gray sweatpants.

530
00:32:07,321 --> 00:32:11,009
Of course he is. This is our first gray sweatpants

531
00:32:11,057 --> 00:32:14,537
one, though. Oh, it is. Yeah. It's a good trope. I do

532
00:32:14,601 --> 00:32:17,565
like a. I do, too. What do you think, Michael?

533
00:32:19,705 --> 00:32:23,343
We were talking about when we talked about the hockey player

534
00:32:23,399 --> 00:32:27,351
stretching, and she was like, no, really?

535
00:32:27,423 --> 00:32:30,911
Nothing. It's okay. When we were,

536
00:32:30,943 --> 00:32:34,315
like, looking at it. Yeah, I'm sorry.

537
00:32:34,655 --> 00:32:36,675
Like, why are they bouncing on the ground?

538
00:32:38,175 --> 00:32:41,035
Just turned on again just thinking about it.

539
00:32:42,855 --> 00:32:46,127
Oh, my God. Well, she takes

540
00:32:46,151 --> 00:32:50,059
his dick out and that he also has a Jacob's ladder piercing.

541
00:32:50,187 --> 00:32:53,891
He has six barbells on his shaft. And she sucks

542
00:32:53,923 --> 00:32:57,403
his dick, pouting about not being fucked. Cal carries her to

543
00:32:57,419 --> 00:33:01,515
the window, directs her to keep her hands on the glass. He has her bend

544
00:33:01,595 --> 00:33:04,835
over, gets on his knees, and asks Hannah

545
00:33:04,915 --> 00:33:08,451
who is in charge. Hannah says, he is. And he rewards

546
00:33:08,523 --> 00:33:11,723
her by eating her out from behind. We talked about

547
00:33:11,739 --> 00:33:15,331
this in the past. This is my. This is my favorite,

548
00:33:15,523 --> 00:33:19,043
favorite way for this to happen. Yeah. He preps her

549
00:33:19,059 --> 00:33:23,123
with his fingers and then takes her from behind. But he's just

550
00:33:23,219 --> 00:33:25,595
too dang big. Dang it.

551
00:33:25,675 --> 00:33:29,051
Shoot big. Damn it.

552
00:33:29,243 --> 00:33:32,651
He talks her through it like a good boy.

553
00:33:32,803 --> 00:33:36,483
This one's kind of annoying. I don't like hard and fast.

554
00:33:36,619 --> 00:33:40,175
Well, then he. I literally. My next note is that he her hard and fast,

555
00:33:41,375 --> 00:33:44,519
which. Yeah, they did. This one where he tells her to put her hands on

556
00:33:44,527 --> 00:33:48,263
the glass was very reminiscent of Cassian grabbed

557
00:33:48,279 --> 00:33:51,615
the headboard. You loved that. I loved this whole scene.

558
00:33:51,695 --> 00:33:54,991
Yes. We're gonna be nice to the author here. We're gonna say she

559
00:33:55,023 --> 00:33:58,655
writes a good sex scene. This scene was written well. This scene really

560
00:33:58,695 --> 00:34:02,223
makes me like Cal a lot because I like that he

561
00:34:02,279 --> 00:34:05,799
overpowers her. Nobody else does. No. Hannah is always

562
00:34:05,847 --> 00:34:09,703
calling the shots. Nobody tells her what to do. She's just a big fucking brat.

563
00:34:09,839 --> 00:34:13,355
And Cal is like, I'm gonna make you

564
00:34:13,655 --> 00:34:16,879
tell me that I'm the one in. And she Does.

565
00:34:16,967 --> 00:34:20,191
And they both come from

566
00:34:20,223 --> 00:34:23,703
page 115 to 126. I do feel

567
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,903
like it took a long time to get here. Also, it did 100 pages in

568
00:34:26,919 --> 00:34:30,423
it. It's a long time. Yeah. He takes her

569
00:34:30,439 --> 00:34:33,983
up to a shower, they have sex again, and then they

570
00:34:34,039 --> 00:34:38,065
write, of course. Because, yeah. Hannah calls it a hate doc,

571
00:34:38,405 --> 00:34:42,077
and he really just. She went up there to get laid. She got

572
00:34:42,101 --> 00:34:45,021
laid, and now she's done with him and she's mad at him.

573
00:34:45,093 --> 00:34:48,285
Yep. Which I've been there before, too. But I'm also very

574
00:34:48,325 --> 00:34:52,333
nice about it, where I'm like, that was fun. Okay. Oh, see, I'm not

575
00:34:52,509 --> 00:34:55,685
Uber on my front porch. That'd be great. I wouldn't let

576
00:34:55,725 --> 00:34:58,853
guys come to my house. Oh. I would go to there so I

577
00:34:58,869 --> 00:35:02,495
could leave because. Oh, sure. The first guy who tried to, like,

578
00:35:02,685 --> 00:35:05,371
hang out. Yeah. Snuggle. Yeah.

579
00:35:05,483 --> 00:35:08,891
No. I went through this experimental phase

580
00:35:09,003 --> 00:35:12,667
where I would bring men home and then I

581
00:35:12,691 --> 00:35:16,067
would have sex with them, and I wouldn't let them come. And then I'd

582
00:35:16,091 --> 00:35:21,123
be like, all right, well, that was fun. And then I'd make them. What is

583
00:35:21,139 --> 00:35:24,827
that, a cake of yours? No. I think I was just, like, frustrated and

584
00:35:24,851 --> 00:35:28,547
annoyed because of how frequently they, like, we would get together, and then I

585
00:35:28,571 --> 00:35:31,603
wouldn't get to come. And so it was like, all right, well, I'm gonna

586
00:35:31,659 --> 00:35:34,911
have some fun. I'm gonna get. I'm gonna convince to go down on

587
00:35:34,943 --> 00:35:38,135
me. I'm going to get my. All my jollies,

588
00:35:38,215 --> 00:35:41,095
and then I'm going to send you home and you can go fuck yourself.

589
00:35:41,175 --> 00:35:44,191
Because that's kind of where I was at at that phase in my life.

590
00:35:44,263 --> 00:35:47,823
We maybe should have Melissa on the podcast, because the number of times

591
00:35:47,879 --> 00:35:51,583
that she's gone over to a guy's place and sucks his dick,

592
00:35:51,759 --> 00:35:55,319
and then he thinks of a reason to not fuck her and her home.

593
00:35:55,487 --> 00:35:58,575
So she calls me raging. Yeah,

594
00:35:58,695 --> 00:36:01,775
I really enjoy sucking dick, but I have some really strong rules about whose dick

595
00:36:01,815 --> 00:36:04,463
all sucks. So you're not going to get me over to your house for me

596
00:36:04,479 --> 00:36:08,419
to suck your dick. You're. I don't like sucking dick. And I will

597
00:36:08,467 --> 00:36:11,563
always get off before I have sex with a guy. Sure.

598
00:36:11,699 --> 00:36:15,363
They're getting me off first door. Yeah. It's not happening. Yeah. We have boundaries.

599
00:36:15,499 --> 00:36:18,135
Yeah. We have standards. Absolutely.

600
00:36:19,235 --> 00:36:22,131
Cal can't stop thinking about Hannah. He calls his sister,

601
00:36:22,243 --> 00:36:26,227
who, for God knows what reason, likes Hannah

602
00:36:26,371 --> 00:36:30,651
and encourages him to talk to her about it. Hannah is teasing

603
00:36:30,723 --> 00:36:34,649
him with other men and playing hard to get, and he

604
00:36:34,697 --> 00:36:38,169
Convinces the front desk associate at the hotel that they're all staying at

605
00:36:38,217 --> 00:36:40,325
to give him Hannah's room number.

606
00:36:40,905 --> 00:36:44,473
And when Hannah goes back up to her room,

607
00:36:44,649 --> 00:36:48,641
he's basically creeping in the hallway. Do you still like him?

608
00:36:48,833 --> 00:36:51,605
I. This is Predator.

609
00:36:52,385 --> 00:36:56,033
I don't like him more than other characters. He's my favorite character

610
00:36:56,089 --> 00:36:59,705
in the book. As I'm criticizing this when we just read Haunting

611
00:36:59,745 --> 00:37:03,049
Adeline about actual stalker on an action stalker. Yeah, I know

612
00:37:03,137 --> 00:37:07,361
you like we talked about. I'm so consistent. So hard to please. So he's

613
00:37:07,393 --> 00:37:11,313
waiting in the hallway kind of like across from her hotel

614
00:37:11,369 --> 00:37:14,729
room door. And when she goes into her hotel room,

615
00:37:14,857 --> 00:37:18,449
he pushes in behind her and pretends to be.

616
00:37:18,617 --> 00:37:21,285
She thinks she's like getting robbed. Yeah.

617
00:37:21,865 --> 00:37:25,385
And realizes when he talks to her that it's

618
00:37:25,425 --> 00:37:30,259
him. He pins her against the wall and

619
00:37:30,427 --> 00:37:34,291
without preamble, just starts fucking her rough from

620
00:37:34,443 --> 00:37:37,971
behind. So he calls her a slut, tells her he doesn't

621
00:37:38,003 --> 00:37:42,011
fucking share. She comes, he comes, and he

622
00:37:42,083 --> 00:37:46,011
does something really sweet here. He remembers that the first time

623
00:37:46,043 --> 00:37:49,627
that they had sex, she insisted on peeing afterwards,

624
00:37:49,771 --> 00:37:53,123
which a hundred percent you should always pee after sex. Yes.

625
00:37:53,179 --> 00:37:56,597
I don't want to read about it, though. No, but I think it was sweet

626
00:37:56,621 --> 00:37:59,509
that he, like, remembers. She's like,

627
00:37:59,677 --> 00:38:03,533
so exhausted from this

628
00:38:03,589 --> 00:38:07,445
scene. She's like a crumpled mess on the floor. So he picks her

629
00:38:07,485 --> 00:38:11,893
up and takes her to the bathroom. He sets her on the toilet and.

630
00:38:11,949 --> 00:38:15,357
Sexy. Yeah. And once again, she picks a fight with him. So that

631
00:38:15,381 --> 00:38:18,869
scene was from 143 to 146. Yeah. I just think

632
00:38:18,917 --> 00:38:22,465
he is a incredibly patient human.

633
00:38:22,815 --> 00:38:25,831
I mean, I guess he waited 10 years for this girl that he's been pining

634
00:38:25,863 --> 00:38:29,335
over, but now he can't keep his fucking paws off of her when he's going

635
00:38:29,835 --> 00:38:32,595
to be retired at the end of the season. Yeah, well,

636
00:38:32,935 --> 00:38:35,595
yeah, well, yeah,

637
00:38:37,015 --> 00:38:40,367
they have a heart to heart here. He basically tells her

638
00:38:40,431 --> 00:38:43,439
no more games, no more stunts. Like if you want to have sex,

639
00:38:43,487 --> 00:38:46,975
then you just tell me that you want to have sex. Which is very,

640
00:38:47,015 --> 00:38:49,235
very, very mature, very healthy.

641
00:38:50,135 --> 00:38:54,355
Hannah goes home for Christmas where her sister

642
00:38:55,255 --> 00:38:58,955
starts to kind of go in on her about her, like, her family

643
00:38:59,375 --> 00:39:03,135
and about her having kids. And Hannah doesn't want kids,

644
00:39:03,255 --> 00:39:07,471
and she's just feeling very depressed.

645
00:39:07,583 --> 00:39:11,395
And she messages Cal for

646
00:39:11,695 --> 00:39:15,695
comfort. He accepts her into his apartment, and Cal has

647
00:39:15,735 --> 00:39:19,081
his own special form of therapy that he would like to

648
00:39:19,113 --> 00:39:22,921
work through with Hannah. Yeah. He makes

649
00:39:22,953 --> 00:39:26,473
her sit on his face while she talks about

650
00:39:26,569 --> 00:39:30,165
the demoralized feelings that she has

651
00:39:30,465 --> 00:39:33,929
after this experience with her sister. And every time

652
00:39:34,057 --> 00:39:37,361
she revealed a thought or a feeling,

653
00:39:37,473 --> 00:39:40,953
he rewards her by switching up the pleasure until she earns

654
00:39:40,969 --> 00:39:44,105
her orgasm. She then proceeds

655
00:39:44,145 --> 00:39:47,673
to spend the next two days hold up with him in his place. So we've

656
00:39:47,689 --> 00:39:51,865
seen pages for that scene. That scene is 156

657
00:39:51,905 --> 00:39:55,045
to 159. What were your feelings about that scene?

658
00:39:55,945 --> 00:39:59,393
I like the sitting on the face, but the fact that he actually

659
00:39:59,449 --> 00:40:02,713
made her talk, Talking about her sisters and her

660
00:40:02,769 --> 00:40:05,325
family while he's doing that,

661
00:40:06,265 --> 00:40:08,953
I don't know that I could get there. And if I did, I would feel

662
00:40:09,009 --> 00:40:12,761
kind of icky. Yeah. Also, I just feel like her revelations

663
00:40:12,833 --> 00:40:16,325
are so shallow. It doesn't really feel

664
00:40:16,625 --> 00:40:19,209
it just like, if we're gonna do that,

665
00:40:19,337 --> 00:40:22,073
fine, let's try it. Okay, I'll try anything once.

666
00:40:22,209 --> 00:40:26,113
But then I want there to be some real revelations here.

667
00:40:26,249 --> 00:40:30,805
And you're like, she just is so surface.

668
00:40:31,305 --> 00:40:34,921
At the next game, Cal is distracted because Hannah is MIA

669
00:40:35,033 --> 00:40:39,145
and it turns out that she is sick. And once again,

670
00:40:39,265 --> 00:40:42,649
Cal is the mature, responsible, healthy human

671
00:40:42,697 --> 00:40:46,181
being. He brings her soup and confesses

672
00:40:46,213 --> 00:40:49,917
that he's been in love with her since they first met. Ten years and four

673
00:40:50,021 --> 00:40:53,573
months exactly ago. From here on out, they're secretly

674
00:40:53,629 --> 00:40:55,585
basically two together.

675
00:40:56,245 --> 00:40:58,425
Yes. On a rare week.

676
00:40:59,565 --> 00:41:02,861
It's so hard to do this because you have nothing to add because you're

677
00:41:02,893 --> 00:41:06,565
just. I know. I didn't like that scene.

678
00:41:06,645 --> 00:41:09,949
You're normally so emotionally invested that it's like, I go through the story and

679
00:41:09,957 --> 00:41:13,227
then you have, like, feedback and you don't even have anything. You're like, let's just

680
00:41:13,341 --> 00:41:16,959
fucking get this done. I know that. I didn't like that scene.

681
00:41:17,047 --> 00:41:21,115
I thought it was really annoying when he kept, like, asking her,

682
00:41:21,495 --> 00:41:25,207
when did you last eat? When did you last have something to drink? He was

683
00:41:25,231 --> 00:41:28,015
just. I guess I don't like being taken care of like that.

684
00:41:28,135 --> 00:41:31,607
Oh. So it kind of annoyed me. This is where the book really started to

685
00:41:31,631 --> 00:41:35,311
lose me. Because up until then, I was kind of loving Hannah's

686
00:41:35,343 --> 00:41:39,551
chaos, really. And it's. As soon as it gets healthy is when.

687
00:41:39,623 --> 00:41:42,595
Yes. Then I am not invested anymore.

688
00:41:43,455 --> 00:41:47,389
No tid. Well, this next. Yeah, this next part

689
00:41:47,517 --> 00:41:51,053
I just think is stupid. I agree. On a rare week

690
00:41:51,109 --> 00:41:55,389
off, Hannah and her friends, along with Cal and

691
00:41:55,477 --> 00:41:59,293
like, all, like, the whole group of them. So Cal's friends as well, they go

692
00:41:59,349 --> 00:42:02,789
on a cruise, on a yacht. Everybody is very wealthy.

693
00:42:02,957 --> 00:42:06,573
Hannah and Cal have a conversation about labels, where Hannah decides

694
00:42:06,629 --> 00:42:10,485
that they are boyfriend and girlfriend. Hannah rewards

695
00:42:10,605 --> 00:42:14,123
him by Taking his maritime virginity first by

696
00:42:14,139 --> 00:42:16,531
sucking his dick, then Hannah on top,

697
00:42:16,723 --> 00:42:20,491
where while she's riding him, he realizes that he's in love with Hannah.

698
00:42:20,643 --> 00:42:24,099
I feel like you hate that. I do hate that. You hate those revelations.

699
00:42:24,227 --> 00:42:28,139
I I. When we read the next book,

700
00:42:28,307 --> 00:42:31,811
we're gonna. That's cure. Yeah, I can't.

701
00:42:31,843 --> 00:42:33,707
I don't want to talk about it now because I don't want to ruin it.

702
00:42:33,811 --> 00:42:37,155
That scene is from 188 to 194. After she

703
00:42:37,195 --> 00:42:40,563
comes, he has her straddle him backwards

704
00:42:40,699 --> 00:42:44,401
and they fuck again until they both come. Yeah. Was that included in those pages?

705
00:42:44,513 --> 00:42:48,321
That is included. Sorry, I. Oh, actually, I did like

706
00:42:48,353 --> 00:42:51,897
this scene because I feel like it was well written. Okay. So the sex part

707
00:42:51,921 --> 00:42:55,609
of it I did enjoy. I think that this

708
00:42:55,657 --> 00:42:59,169
author does write a good sex scene. I feel like

709
00:42:59,337 --> 00:43:03,105
with a dick that big, reverse cowgirl would be really

710
00:43:03,225 --> 00:43:06,529
tough. Not pleasurable. She says it is. I can't

711
00:43:06,577 --> 00:43:09,977
speak for Hannah, but I have a tilted

712
00:43:10,001 --> 00:43:13,049
uterus, so reverse cowgirl for me is.

713
00:43:13,177 --> 00:43:16,529
Is better in most cases. Interesting. And also he.

714
00:43:16,577 --> 00:43:20,081
The Jacob flatter is on the underside, so you have to imagine that her

715
00:43:20,113 --> 00:43:24,025
clit is literally rubbing on the barbells while position.

716
00:43:24,105 --> 00:43:27,805
That's true. I suppose so. I feel like that would probably be

717
00:43:28,345 --> 00:43:31,577
good. Maybe it's not one of my favorite

718
00:43:31,641 --> 00:43:35,657
positions. Yeah. I have a really nice ass, so I suppose so.

719
00:43:35,721 --> 00:43:38,165
Yeah. Lots of people want to see that. Yeah.

720
00:43:40,205 --> 00:43:41,905
People don't know that I'm joking.

721
00:43:43,005 --> 00:43:45,065
You're totally not joking, though.

722
00:43:46,605 --> 00:43:50,733
Joking, but for real. Yeah. On the trip, we learned that Hannah's

723
00:43:50,789 --> 00:43:54,261
friends Amy and Natalie are both pregnant.

724
00:43:54,333 --> 00:43:58,077
But they find that out because Hannah purchases

725
00:43:58,221 --> 00:44:01,885
some pregnancy tests and she doesn't know which ones to buy, so she just buys

726
00:44:01,925 --> 00:44:05,281
a bunch. And then I don't know, because of

727
00:44:05,393 --> 00:44:10,121
just how close of friends they are, they decide that they're all pregnancy.

728
00:44:10,273 --> 00:44:14,217
That was kind of dumb. So dumb. I. And here

729
00:44:14,281 --> 00:44:17,817
we are creating drama. I love drama.

730
00:44:18,001 --> 00:44:21,521
This was so manufactured. I really hated it.

731
00:44:21,593 --> 00:44:25,105
And I felt like it was very predictable. Oh, I knew. Coming. Oh, God.

732
00:44:25,145 --> 00:44:28,625
Yeah, Absolutely. We all know what's coming, which is that Cal accidentally sees her

733
00:44:28,665 --> 00:44:32,171
buying the pregnancy tests, assumes that they are for

734
00:44:32,203 --> 00:44:35,795
her, and then proceeds to spiral. And he confronts Hannah

735
00:44:35,835 --> 00:44:39,371
about it, and they both agree that having kids is off the table

736
00:44:39,403 --> 00:44:43,171
for both of them, which I really. If I'm

737
00:44:43,203 --> 00:44:46,291
going to like one thing about this book, I'm going to like and appreciate that.

738
00:44:46,443 --> 00:44:49,731
So thank you for deciding that neither of you

739
00:44:49,763 --> 00:44:54,003
should reproduce. The next day, they go for a hike Cal

740
00:44:54,139 --> 00:44:58,107
and Hannah decide to take a little dip in a pool under a waterfall

741
00:44:58,211 --> 00:45:01,899
where they fool around with her friends nearby. But it

742
00:45:01,907 --> 00:45:04,415
doesn't go any further than that little voyeurism.

743
00:45:04,715 --> 00:45:08,547
Yeah. I though not in front of friends. Thank you

744
00:45:08,571 --> 00:45:12,051
for that, strangers. Sure, sure. But if we're

745
00:45:12,083 --> 00:45:15,779
all together, like in a small little cove, I'm not gonna be fooling around

746
00:45:15,827 --> 00:45:19,419
with you guys. Right there. Thank you. That's really, really respectful and I

747
00:45:19,427 --> 00:45:23,011
appreciate it. They were strangers. I plan on. I plan on traveling with you

748
00:45:23,043 --> 00:45:26,083
a lot in the future, so it's really good to know.

749
00:45:26,179 --> 00:45:29,795
Dave doesn't care. Oh, he will try to pull around me.

750
00:45:29,955 --> 00:45:32,971
Doesn't matter. Well, it's because he's obsessed with you. I know. Yeah,

751
00:45:33,043 --> 00:45:36,307
but don't worry. We won't do it. Okay. But just self

752
00:45:36,371 --> 00:45:39,947
control. Wow. The only reason

753
00:45:39,971 --> 00:45:43,547
that I brought that scene up is because it comes back later. So after the

754
00:45:43,571 --> 00:45:46,827
trip, Cal and Hannah start having more sincere

755
00:45:46,891 --> 00:45:50,283
and intimate conversations. And really their

756
00:45:50,339 --> 00:45:54,055
relationship starts to blossom. Cal arranges

757
00:45:54,615 --> 00:45:58,015
recording session for Hannah while they are

758
00:45:58,055 --> 00:46:01,919
planning California. Hannah sings the national anthem at

759
00:46:01,967 --> 00:46:05,487
home games. Apparently she's like, an incredible singer. Why do all

760
00:46:05,511 --> 00:46:08,823
of these girls sing? I feel like that's something that

761
00:46:08,839 --> 00:46:12,135
we see all the time with these girls. They like.

762
00:46:12,215 --> 00:46:15,111
They sing or. But I read another book where he buys her a recording studio

763
00:46:15,143 --> 00:46:17,315
for an hour so she can record her podcast.

764
00:46:17,855 --> 00:46:21,179
Oh, interesting. I feel like it's such like a weird

765
00:46:21,227 --> 00:46:24,307
trope where the guy is a famous hockey player and the

766
00:46:24,331 --> 00:46:27,979
girl is like, secretly talented as well.

767
00:46:28,107 --> 00:46:31,603
I generally struggle with the tropes where the

768
00:46:31,619 --> 00:46:34,955
female main character is an artist or she's a writer

769
00:46:35,035 --> 00:46:38,395
or she's a singer, or she's Adeline. Except for hunting.

770
00:46:38,435 --> 00:46:42,051
I love that she was like a established writer. Yeah, but she was

771
00:46:42,083 --> 00:46:45,587
an actual established writer and I. She didn't

772
00:46:45,611 --> 00:46:48,961
need somebody else to show her her potential. Yes.

773
00:46:49,153 --> 00:46:52,201
Thank you for summarizing that. I had no idea what I was trying to say.

774
00:46:52,273 --> 00:46:55,513
You actually quantified it and I'm so grateful for you. Yes. We should do

775
00:46:55,529 --> 00:46:59,313
this more often. Hannah's friend Natalie

776
00:46:59,449 --> 00:47:02,897
helps her realize that Cal is in love with her.

777
00:47:03,001 --> 00:47:06,585
Basically, like, he would only do this if he was in love with.

778
00:47:06,665 --> 00:47:10,481
With. If he was in love with you. She rewards him by buying

779
00:47:10,513 --> 00:47:13,785
some lingerie and surprising him wearing it after his

780
00:47:13,825 --> 00:47:18,129
practice. They have slow love

781
00:47:18,257 --> 00:47:22,121
sex while your favorite

782
00:47:22,273 --> 00:47:25,641
all making eye contact when they

783
00:47:25,713 --> 00:47:29,305
are interrupted by her dad. Bum,

784
00:47:29,345 --> 00:47:32,833
bum, bum. They get him to go away finish,

785
00:47:32,969 --> 00:47:36,409
which is wild to me and absolutely

786
00:47:36,457 --> 00:47:39,617
not. Yeah, my dad was Just knocking on the door.

787
00:47:39,681 --> 00:47:43,539
No, I have to do something else now. Yeah. They agreed

788
00:47:43,547 --> 00:47:46,575
that at the end of the season they're going to fess up to her dad.

789
00:47:47,475 --> 00:47:50,875
That sex scene was from 264 to 271. Q.

790
00:47:50,955 --> 00:47:54,495
Sorry. I'm so ready to be done with this. I know. We're almost done.

791
00:47:54,875 --> 00:47:58,667
At their next game, Cal is injured so badly

792
00:47:58,731 --> 00:48:02,699
that he is hospitalized. And Hannah is such a mess

793
00:48:02,747 --> 00:48:06,211
that her dad puts it together and confronts Cal in the

794
00:48:06,243 --> 00:48:09,339
hospital. He basically forces Cal to end things with Hannah.

795
00:48:09,507 --> 00:48:13,015
He's an adult. He didn't. Nobody can force him to do anything.

796
00:48:13,355 --> 00:48:15,815
And I hated this.

797
00:48:16,915 --> 00:48:20,083
Hate it. You love this girl. And because her dad comes in,

798
00:48:20,179 --> 00:48:23,427
has a two minute conversation and tells you to end it or else.

799
00:48:23,571 --> 00:48:26,987
Yeah, you're now going to end it. Also from the dad's

800
00:48:27,011 --> 00:48:30,723
point of view, this was. This is all just stupid. This is stupid. It was

801
00:48:30,739 --> 00:48:34,299
a stupid ending. I hate it. No notes.

802
00:48:34,387 --> 00:48:36,255
That was perfect. Thank you.

803
00:48:38,995 --> 00:48:43,107
Hannah finally gets up to visit him. And Cal is

804
00:48:43,211 --> 00:48:46,723
cold. And he blames the

805
00:48:46,819 --> 00:48:50,275
accident on Hannah. He says that it's her fault

806
00:48:50,355 --> 00:48:53,563
that he was injured because he was distracted by her and he can't have any

807
00:48:53,579 --> 00:48:56,715
more distractions and they basically

808
00:48:56,875 --> 00:49:00,755
break up. He says

809
00:49:01,415 --> 00:49:05,527
later that he didn't want to hurt Hannah by telling

810
00:49:05,591 --> 00:49:09,279
her about her dad.

811
00:49:09,447 --> 00:49:12,215
He didn't need to do. I don't feel like any of that needed to happen.

812
00:49:12,255 --> 00:49:14,983
He could have just told her dad to fuck off.

813
00:49:15,039 --> 00:49:18,287
Yes. Like a grown up, like a 34 year old man. And the

814
00:49:18,311 --> 00:49:21,927
fact I would have never forgiven him. He literally says

815
00:49:21,951 --> 00:49:25,191
I could have died, Hannah. And the way that this plays

816
00:49:25,223 --> 00:49:28,255
out made me so mad.

817
00:49:31,635 --> 00:49:34,495
I'm just going to continue to tell the story and you just continue to.

818
00:49:35,115 --> 00:49:38,915
Hannah's devastated and making arrangements

819
00:49:38,955 --> 00:49:43,019
so that she doesn't have to see him or face anyone else after what

820
00:49:43,067 --> 00:49:46,571
is sure to be a very public breakup. Because at this point everybody

821
00:49:46,603 --> 00:49:50,091
knows what's going on. And at this point she still doesn't know that her dad

822
00:49:50,123 --> 00:49:53,373
was involved. Some time passes.

823
00:49:53,509 --> 00:49:57,205
A long time. Yeah, just like a couple of days, like weeks,

824
00:49:57,245 --> 00:50:00,805
months later, he breaks her heart. And then he was so in love with her.

825
00:50:00,925 --> 00:50:04,597
But he can just walk away. Just goes on about his life

826
00:50:04,661 --> 00:50:07,901
and same with her. I just. God,

827
00:50:08,053 --> 00:50:11,261
this makes me so mad because humans don't behave this way.

828
00:50:11,373 --> 00:50:14,949
Oh, God. Agreed. So much so Hannah

829
00:50:14,997 --> 00:50:18,877
completely avoids Cal. She's not singing at games and she's

830
00:50:18,981 --> 00:50:21,625
coordinating all of their travel from home.

831
00:50:21,935 --> 00:50:25,175
The team makes it to the championships. Of course they do.

832
00:50:25,255 --> 00:50:29,103
They win of course they do. And at the press conference

833
00:50:29,159 --> 00:50:31,767
after the game, Cal announces he's retiring,

834
00:50:31,831 --> 00:50:35,375
which, like, you knew you were gonna fucking retire anyways. Why would you

835
00:50:35,415 --> 00:50:38,671
break, like, two games left? You didn't need to.

836
00:50:38,823 --> 00:50:41,999
Her dad wants to win so much. You would not have

837
00:50:42,047 --> 00:50:45,007
benched him. Oh. Oh. 100%.

838
00:50:45,111 --> 00:50:49,447
Yeah. You're gonna risk that. Oh, my God. You're gonna risk winning

839
00:50:49,471 --> 00:50:52,991
a championship because one of the players is fucking

840
00:50:53,023 --> 00:50:56,159
your daughter. No. In the hospital room, he does

841
00:50:56,207 --> 00:50:59,527
say to her dad, like, I. Like, I'm not just dating her. I love her.

842
00:50:59,631 --> 00:51:03,183
Oh, and his dad. Her dad is just like, well, something happens to you,

843
00:51:03,199 --> 00:51:06,675
she'll never get over it. But she'll get over a broken heart. Stupid.

844
00:51:07,015 --> 00:51:10,295
Like, that's literally saying, don't love because you could get hurt.

845
00:51:10,455 --> 00:51:13,975
It is so stupid. It is stupid. I have some big

846
00:51:14,015 --> 00:51:16,263
feelings. When she goes to talk to her dad in this next scene. Oh,

847
00:51:16,279 --> 00:51:19,447
my God. Same. During the off season, Hannah makes the decision

848
00:51:19,511 --> 00:51:22,907
that she's going to quit formally. So she's not going to sing at the

849
00:51:22,931 --> 00:51:25,747
National Anthem anymore. She's not going to do any more the travel coordinating, and she's

850
00:51:25,771 --> 00:51:29,379
going to move to Nashville. She's really going to focus on herself. She's really

851
00:51:29,427 --> 00:51:32,539
going to. She's going to make it in the music. She hasn't been doing

852
00:51:32,587 --> 00:51:35,851
that this whole time. So now she's really going to. She's really going to buckle

853
00:51:35,883 --> 00:51:40,027
down and do it. This entire time, both Cal and Hannah

854
00:51:40,131 --> 00:51:43,619
have been, like, heartbroken and sulking, but. They don't talk to each other.

855
00:51:43,747 --> 00:51:48,141
Why would they do that? Yeah, they. Can you fucking imagine?

856
00:51:48,253 --> 00:51:51,945
I just even. I used to break up with Dave, like, every other day.

857
00:51:52,405 --> 00:51:55,685
I couldn't not talk to him, but he wouldn't let me break up with him.

858
00:51:55,805 --> 00:51:58,973
Yeah. But I would try, and then I felt like I was not going to

859
00:51:58,989 --> 00:52:02,557
talk to him. Oh, my God. I just like this girl who's very

860
00:52:02,581 --> 00:52:05,797
clearly immature. What were we doing in our 20s when a guy

861
00:52:05,821 --> 00:52:08,725
broke up with us, stalking him. We drive by,

862
00:52:08,765 --> 00:52:11,669
we'd see where he was going. Live in the same building.

863
00:52:11,797 --> 00:52:15,879
Hannah, this woman who has been teasing him

864
00:52:16,007 --> 00:52:19,263
and doing all. Going through all this effort to make him jealous

865
00:52:19,319 --> 00:52:22,359
and to make him. And it never occurred to her that she should go out

866
00:52:22,367 --> 00:52:25,495
and sing the National Anthem in a different guy's jersey or,

867
00:52:25,535 --> 00:52:29,431
like, show up wearing. Go to the bar. I would have

868
00:52:29,463 --> 00:52:32,355
been dating Jake. I would have been sucking all the dick.

869
00:52:33,135 --> 00:52:36,631
I. It just. Yes. This is

870
00:52:36,663 --> 00:52:39,623
not how it really would have played out. Same. And then Hannah clearly just doesn't

871
00:52:39,639 --> 00:52:42,527
give a shit about herself or her own feelings for how she just gets over

872
00:52:42,551 --> 00:52:45,275
all this. Yeah. Well, she tells her father.

873
00:52:45,395 --> 00:52:49,139
She gives her notice, and he admits that he made

874
00:52:49,187 --> 00:52:53,443
Cal break up with her. They fight. Of course they do.

875
00:52:53,579 --> 00:52:56,363
And her dad tells her to go get him back if she loves him that

876
00:52:56,379 --> 00:52:59,955
much. And again, I just forgive

877
00:52:59,995 --> 00:53:03,443
him for. She's just. She's been apparently so heartbroken that

878
00:53:03,459 --> 00:53:05,939
she can't even do the one thing she loves to do, which is now apparently

879
00:53:05,987 --> 00:53:10,247
sing. Sure. But, sir, you insisted

880
00:53:10,351 --> 00:53:14,511
that he break up. You insisted on shattering

881
00:53:14,543 --> 00:53:17,703
her into a million pieces. And then she's like, oh, I'm gonna

882
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,847
move to Nashville. And you're like, hold up, hold up. Let's get

883
00:53:20,871 --> 00:53:24,119
that man back here. Back here. So that I can keep you on.

884
00:53:24,167 --> 00:53:27,679
I just. You. The whole thing is so no wonder. Find a

885
00:53:27,687 --> 00:53:30,475
healthy relationship. That is so accurate.

886
00:53:33,055 --> 00:53:36,715
Cal is back home in Calgary working on his farm. He's.

887
00:53:36,755 --> 00:53:40,795
He. Yeah. He goes, you are a hockey

888
00:53:40,835 --> 00:53:44,003
player. You're a hockey player for your

889
00:53:44,059 --> 00:53:46,655
entire life. Not just.

890
00:53:48,075 --> 00:53:51,995
Yes. A championship winning. Yeah. Hockey player. And then he's

891
00:53:52,035 --> 00:53:55,459
retired. Yeah. For a girl. And now he moves to the farm. He's not skating.

892
00:53:55,547 --> 00:53:59,179
They're in Calgary. Like, he doesn't have a ring. Yeah. There.

893
00:53:59,267 --> 00:54:02,815
No. Yeah. They're. It's pretty wild.

894
00:54:02,935 --> 00:54:06,239
No way. And he just gets away from her. Like, he didn't try

895
00:54:06,247 --> 00:54:09,695
to go explain anything to her after. He didn't have second thoughts.

896
00:54:09,775 --> 00:54:13,567
Right. After he retired. There was nothing stopping him. Yeah. From going back

897
00:54:13,591 --> 00:54:17,055
and being like, hey, I. And I didn't even add it in my notes

898
00:54:17,095 --> 00:54:20,527
here. But he gets his recording for the session for Hand

899
00:54:20,591 --> 00:54:23,719
session. And he, like, listens to it on repeat

900
00:54:23,807 --> 00:54:27,935
for months on end. Right. Never once open

901
00:54:27,975 --> 00:54:31,467
the door back up. These people are not in love. You're so

902
00:54:31,491 --> 00:54:35,371
right. They should not reproduce. No. He is throwing

903
00:54:35,403 --> 00:54:38,795
a party to celebrate the championship win and his retirement.

904
00:54:38,915 --> 00:54:42,107
In Canada. In Canada. In Canada. And a

905
00:54:42,131 --> 00:54:45,015
surprise guest, Hannah, arrives.

906
00:54:45,635 --> 00:54:49,379
They proclaim their love for one another, which is

907
00:54:49,507 --> 00:54:53,195
annoying for me. Like, I'm sorry. He still went along with the plan

908
00:54:53,235 --> 00:54:56,419
to break your heart. And you're. He doesn't even. He doesn't apologize.

909
00:54:56,467 --> 00:54:59,683
She chases him down. I would have rather died alone,

910
00:54:59,739 --> 00:55:03,131
heartbroken, than gone back to him.

911
00:55:03,323 --> 00:55:06,387
I don't have anything to add. It's so perfect. You are so right.

912
00:55:06,491 --> 00:55:10,355
And they're such a terrible ending. Yeah. I needed groveling.

913
00:55:10,475 --> 00:55:13,699
I needed so much more big gestures.

914
00:55:13,787 --> 00:55:16,715
And I had a lot of high hopes because, like you said, it Been highly

915
00:55:16,755 --> 00:55:20,827
recommended. Yeah, I did. Like, at the start, I thought it was a good premise.

916
00:55:21,011 --> 00:55:22,895
Like, this girl is going to fuck somebody.

917
00:55:24,005 --> 00:55:28,309
Yeah, I love that. Yeah. This girl's gonna have sex.

918
00:55:28,477 --> 00:55:32,205
I'm in. Sign me up in that one.

919
00:55:32,365 --> 00:55:35,845
Oh, God. Anyways, they discuss

920
00:55:35,925 --> 00:55:39,573
their plans, throwing around the idea of Nashville and LA

921
00:55:39,709 --> 00:55:42,957
to pursue Hannah's singing career. So fucking cringe.

922
00:55:43,101 --> 00:55:46,325
And land instead on him being

923
00:55:46,365 --> 00:55:49,573
an announcer for the Comets and her being the national

924
00:55:49,629 --> 00:55:52,065
anthem singer and travel coordinator.

925
00:55:54,495 --> 00:55:58,351
Throwing it all away for a guy. And she's. I'm banging right now.

926
00:55:58,423 --> 00:56:01,831
Look at. I have in my notes. I have a little asterisk that says

927
00:56:01,943 --> 00:56:05,103
I roll. Because the entire time that

928
00:56:05,119 --> 00:56:08,567
they are having this conversation, she's sitting on Cal's lap

929
00:56:08,631 --> 00:56:11,927
and rubbing his dick. Where do we love

930
00:56:11,951 --> 00:56:15,151
each other or do we harass? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

931
00:56:15,223 --> 00:56:18,751
No, they clearly don't. Like, she had just said she was finally

932
00:56:18,783 --> 00:56:21,195
gonna focus on herself. Now she's gonna give that up.

933
00:56:21,775 --> 00:56:24,967
They are. They do not make it. No. Some of these

934
00:56:24,991 --> 00:56:27,879
books we read where it's like, will they make it in five years?

935
00:56:27,967 --> 00:56:31,903
They don't make it. No, they don't. No. There's no genuine

936
00:56:31,999 --> 00:56:35,263
intimacy or vulnerability between them at all. No. He's.

937
00:56:35,359 --> 00:56:38,727
I. If anybody is doing it, he's the closest to it. Yeah.

938
00:56:38,831 --> 00:56:42,663
We end where we started at the annual barbecue where we

939
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:46,495
learn that California plans to propose to Hannah in

940
00:56:46,535 --> 00:56:49,775
that same little pool that they fooled around with in front of their friends.

941
00:56:49,895 --> 00:56:53,675
Eye roll. I literally just rolled my eyes. I'm just annoyed.

942
00:56:55,575 --> 00:56:58,607
That's the whole book. So most of our.

943
00:56:58,751 --> 00:56:59,835
You don't have to.

944
00:57:04,055 --> 00:57:07,399
Maybe this will be your thing. I'm so, so sorry if it is.

945
00:57:07,527 --> 00:57:10,807
Yeah. But I think is the worst

946
00:57:10,831 --> 00:57:14,383
one we've read. I agree. Yep. This is my least favorite. Even though

947
00:57:14,439 --> 00:57:17,515
I like you said, I did like the sex scenes with this story.

948
00:57:18,335 --> 00:57:21,823
I'd rather read about a guy stalking her. Yeah.

949
00:57:21,879 --> 00:57:23,355
At least that's real love.

950
00:57:27,895 --> 00:57:31,455
We should actually record all of our sessions from now on with Pagle because.

951
00:57:31,535 --> 00:57:36,783
Her want to talk about some facial expressions. Literally three

952
00:57:36,839 --> 00:57:40,875
cameras. Well, speaking of Pagle, we want to, of course, thank Pagle

953
00:57:40,995 --> 00:57:44,899
for being our ever helpful social media

954
00:57:44,947 --> 00:57:48,779
director. Do you like the title? Social Media director? Wanted to

955
00:57:48,787 --> 00:57:51,015
make sure that you like. Yeah.

956
00:57:53,435 --> 00:57:57,459
All right. Sienna Trapp is originally from

957
00:57:57,507 --> 00:58:01,163
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where a love of sports

958
00:58:01,219 --> 00:58:04,643
is bred into a girl's DNA. Penguins are

959
00:58:04,659 --> 00:58:08,331
big now. Her love of romance novels came early as well. She would often accompany

960
00:58:08,363 --> 00:58:11,931
her romance reviewer mom to book lovers and romance writers conventions where

961
00:58:11,963 --> 00:58:15,091
she sat in on workshops and met numerous bestselling authors.

962
00:58:15,243 --> 00:58:18,979
As luck would have it, she met and married a handsome athlete and after several

963
00:58:19,027 --> 00:58:22,067
temporary residencies in multiple states and Germany, they finally settled

964
00:58:22,131 --> 00:58:26,211
in Michigan. Her stories no longer feature herself, but draw

965
00:58:26,243 --> 00:58:30,139
from her past experiences as an educator, businesswoman, fashion consultant

966
00:58:30,187 --> 00:58:34,175
and world traveler when creating her strong heroines.

967
00:58:36,035 --> 00:58:38,707
Yeah, we might have gotten a little personal with this book. She might take this

968
00:58:38,731 --> 00:58:42,395
as a personal. And also maybe we have

969
00:58:42,475 --> 00:58:46,307
a little bit of a challenge with self awareness because I

970
00:58:46,331 --> 00:58:49,123
wouldn't call Hannah a heroine by any means.

971
00:58:49,259 --> 00:58:52,763
No. Other books by Sienna Trapp, Remington Royal series including

972

Surprise for The Sniper and Second Rate Superstar.

And a new series coming late 2024 called Indie

00:59:11,601 --> 00:59:13,565
Speed Hockey Series.

978
00:59:15,145 --> 00:59:18,805
Let's talk about rating. Yeah, that'll be a good time.

979
00:59:19,625 --> 00:59:22,405
All right, so spice level, what would you give it?

980
00:59:23,105 --> 00:59:27,159
I'm probably going to give this one. I'm gonna give this a three for spice

981
00:59:27,207 --> 00:59:31,715
level. Oh, interesting. I gave it two. There's nothing really

982
00:59:32,175 --> 00:59:35,583
advanced. I mean I think he does have piercings.

983
00:59:35,679 --> 00:59:39,255
He has the piercings. They do have the consensual.

984
00:59:39,295 --> 00:59:43,527
Non consensual scene. So I guess it's

985
00:59:43,551 --> 00:59:47,031
not necessarily missionary in the dark and true. I gave it a 2.

986
00:59:47,063 --> 00:59:50,767
A little bit more there. So. All right. Spice frequency.

987
00:59:50,951 --> 00:59:54,591
I am gonna give this two. All right. I give it a three.

988
00:59:54,743 --> 00:59:58,255
It's a pretty short book. And there's six. Five scenes.

989
00:59:58,295 --> 01:00:01,895
Five, six scenes. Yeah. I suppose. I think 300 page books. I think sometimes

990
01:00:01,935 --> 01:00:05,391
my frequency I also read in like the

991
01:00:05,423 --> 01:00:09,087
actual sexual energy throughout the book and there really wasn't.

992
01:00:09,231 --> 01:00:13,103
There was started as a sexy book. Yeah. They really lost that tension

993
01:00:13,159 --> 01:00:16,199
when they got together. I agree. Okay,

994
01:00:16,367 --> 01:00:19,739
pros. I'm gonna give it a three and a half.

995
01:00:19,927 --> 01:00:23,979
Okay. I think that the book is well written, just underdeveloped.

996
01:00:24,107 --> 01:00:27,175
The character development is terrible. I gave it a three. Yeah.

997
01:00:27,515 --> 01:00:29,975
Storyline. Storyline.

998
01:00:30,555 --> 01:00:33,491
I think that this had the potential to be a good story.

999
01:00:33,523 --> 01:00:36,411
So I would give it a four, I think. Yeah. I think that had it

1000
01:00:36,443 --> 01:00:39,667
been done correctly, it could have been a really great story.

1001
01:00:39,731 --> 01:00:43,219
I think that there's something to be said about a woman kind of going

1002
01:00:43,267 --> 01:00:46,429
against the grain of. Yeah. What's expected

1003
01:00:46,477 --> 01:00:49,845
of her and. And really being really committed and.

1004
01:00:49,925 --> 01:00:53,133
And certain about what she wants. And I. It had the

1005
01:00:53,149 --> 01:00:56,773
potential to be a great, great book. It just I

1006
01:00:56,789 --> 01:01:00,261
think fell short because of some of the. I know yeah.

1007
01:01:00,333 --> 01:01:03,269
So I'm gonna give another two and a half. I was a little angry.

1008
01:01:03,357 --> 01:01:06,509
Yeah, I hear you. Overall, I'm gonna give this book a two.

1009
01:01:06,637 --> 01:01:09,733
I also gave it a two. It just. I. This is not

1010
01:01:09,749 --> 01:01:11,955
what I'd recommend to. No,

1011
01:01:12,415 --> 01:01:15,663
most people. I wouldn't recommend this book to anybody.

1012
01:01:15,759 --> 01:01:19,463
I feel like they're. If you're looking for any type

1013
01:01:19,479 --> 01:01:23,275
of smutty book, I. This would not even make my roster.

1014
01:01:24,055 --> 01:01:28,167
In fact, it's actually so unforgettable that Nicole

1015
01:01:28,191 --> 01:01:31,535
was like, yeah, we're gonna do Bagging the Blue Liner. You've already read it,

1016
01:01:31,575 --> 01:01:33,983
right? And I was like, no, I haven't read it. And then I started reading

1017
01:01:33,999 --> 01:01:36,825
it and was like, oh, that's right. I did actually read this book.

1018
01:01:36,975 --> 01:01:40,453
So. Oops. Where can you find.

1019
01:01:40,509 --> 01:01:43,077
You can find this. It is on Kindle Limited. That's where I read it.

1020
01:01:43,221 --> 01:01:46,637
And then on Amazon and Audible, but it is not at,

01:01:46,821 --> 01:01:49,425

1022
01:01:51,125 --> 01:01:55,205
