On this week’s episode Clare and I read Bratfest at Tiffany’s, the first eighth grade book in Lisi Harrison’s The Clique series. You can listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you like to listen. As a reminder, some of these links, including our Bookshop.org link, are affiliates.
