Oh people, this episode of CL4L was supposed to be all sunshine and rainbows, discussing Mhairi McFarlane's sparkling "Mad About You", but somehow it ended up with Katie getting super upset about something her bloke Dave said, but it all getting twisted and her thinking Chloe and the girls think she's dumb or something for being with him in the first place? It was super weird, but luckily, that was only one small, weird-ass part of the show

We did get to talk about lovely book related things, including but not limited to:

• The energy Harriet puts into not allowing her past to define her being equal parts inspiring and sad-making
• How everyone in this novel gets the wrong end of the stick about something or someone and we are HERE for that type of content (and no the irony is not lost on us)
• Misreading your place in a relationship vs being possessive vs actual emotional abuse. And hell do we get into it you guys
• Cal essentially being Ryan Gosling but in the North of England, also his shirts be real nice

And we even had time for some non-Dave related sadness tangents! We got into:

• How Chloe can still broadcast effectively while ugly-crying
• Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer (Thicc Boy Nation Represent) having an unexpectedly strong influence on Clee
• Chloe's improved Korean
• How we all have very different opinions on the whole incoming winter situation (Clee, for one, can't wait to get back into her standard issue ginger girl knitwear)

It's all here in this month's Chick Lit 4 Life!!
