Andrew Limbong

There's a tease.

All right, let's take a quick break.

And then when we get back, Parker will lay out her manifesto.

Okay, we're back.

Let's do a quick recap of who these friends are.

You've got Savannah.

She's the career-minded PR executive who's looking for a guy on a similar socioeconomic trajectory, and she's the newest member of this group of friends.

And then you've got Gloria, the sort of rock friend.

of the group she owns a beauty salon and cares more about doting on her teenage son than looking for men to date you got bernadine who actually ends up in the middle of a kind of nasty divorce from her husband who leaves her for his white secretary and then you got robin um she's the most open-hearted she seems to fall for the wrong guy at a faster rate than her friends um

In this document, Parker, there's like a question that's highlighted.

I think it's from you.

The question is just, does Terry McMillan hate women?

So our final question is, why do you think this book deserves to be read today?

Brittany, do you want to take the first crack?

for like a very specific place and time super interesting and super important interesting okay what about you andrew i'm pretty strong yay for a couple of reasons it is kind of funny that like these books it's like women be like what's up with these guys what's up with men

What is going on?

It's like, oh yeah, that tracks though.

And I just want to echo the fact that I thought it was like funny, right?

And it's like, we can talk about how shady as it is.

To this day, there's like the main group chat and then there's like the side group chat, you know?
