Is anyone else just generally Going Through It? Here at Feminist Book Club, we all kind of feel like life is a lot at the moment. So today we’re here with some feminist brain candy to keep you company when the going gets rough. Renee shares some books she’s read recently, then Ashley and Rah discuss the new film Challengers.

What to Read When Everything Sucks (1:40)

When times feel especially heavy, Renee leans on genre fiction and what she calls “feel-good literary fiction.” In this segment, she shares a bunch of the lighthearted books that have been keeping her sane while the world feels like it’s on fire.

Challengers: More Than a Horny Tennis Movie (12:18)

Ashley and Rah both scored discounted tickets to see Challengers recently so they teamed up to discuss what they thought about this film and Zendaya’s breakout leading role.
