Ello girlies, final Patreon-oldie but goodie coming up for you before the girls are back next week (with a merch announcement!). Chose this one because although there are a few old bits (a brief chat about Khloe Kardashian having another baby with Tristan Thompson, for example,) we speak a lot about the inner workings of how Love Island manages to capture the nation/world each season (plus, its relationship to fast fashion, the mental health aspect and the influencer pipeline), then how books became a hot girl accessory and, in honour of that, our hot girl book recommendations.
Book recs in order:

Anything by David Sedaris - like Me Talk Pretty One Day, Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls
