This New Adult text ages everyone up because it is *horny* (and quite hilarious).

Today on #HKHSPod: @joelipsett.bsky.social and @brennacgray.bsky.social find themselves in uncharted waters.
ROSALINE is most definitely NOT a based on When You Were Mine, but it *is* highly enjoyable.
Just don’t call it an adaptation (unless you mean R&J the play)

Tomorrow on #HKHSPod: @brennacgray.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social reach the end of Series 1 of SKINS and we have *plenty* of thoughts.
Today on #hkhspod: Before providing an update on future programming (in anticipation of @brennacgray.bsky.social’s new baby!), we list listener Tea, Books, and Chocolate's recommendations for texts that deal with sexism and classism.
Today on #HKHSPod: our summer of SKINS kicks off with episodes 1 & 2.
@brennacgray.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social are already in the thick of it with bad parents, hedonistic behaviour, and major empathy for Hannah Murray's Cassie, who is struggling with disordered eating.
