We break down the courtroom power plays, the consequences of that fateful deed, and how generational guilt ripples through Nikki’s present. Plus, in our coffee break, we share our latest reads — Lana dives into Make a Scene by Mimi Grace, while Sam revisits Deja Brew by Celestine Martin. We also chat about our realistic fall TBR goals and what’s coming next in our Substack roundup. Content warning: racial violence, wrongful conviction, family conflict.

SHE WELL READ
For well read baddies who love books, pop culture, and everything in between. Best friends Lana and Sam are figuring out how to fit reading into their busy lives—and they know they’re not alone. That’s why they created a book club on the go: a seasonal podcast with bite-sized episodes where listeners vote on what they read each season. Whether you read all the time, once in a while, or are just picking up your first book in years, this show celebrates all types of readers. Being well-read is more than just books—it’s a way of life.
