Well this is surprising...we managed to get this episode up despite LC working like an IDIOT the last few weeks. GO TEAM This week the girls get stuck into Banana Yoshimoto's classic "Kitchen",  discussing, among other things: -Are we reading the author or the translator? - How the abnormal becomes normal once it's your everyday life - Is Chloe as goodlookin as Eriko? (spoiler: She really isn't) - Anger over misgendering and how it's pretty cool it's an automatic response now - The life within inanimate objects in a home - Loss and how it manifests for different people - Soulmates Vs Settling - Normals (aggresively normal people in your life) vs AbNormals (the opposite. Obvs) - Mammy & Daddy Murphy being couple goals  Did the girls go on tangents you ask? Well if the following count as tangents given they had NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT: - Hanger. Seriously. - Coco pops v s granola bars and the foodiest Easter Eggs we've ever done (Except for katie's. Because she's the worst) - The Grammys and whether prizes are something to get excited over - What the Queen of England's treehouse probably looks like - The faces Chloe pulls when she's dancing - A listening party for the highlight of the new BTS album - Dis-Ease All this and a LOT of cackling, right here at Chick Lit 4 Life!
