Judith McNaught’s Perfect is the most 90s thing we’ve ever read, so gird your loins for both the best all-is-lost scene in romance, and also Zach, Julie, prison breaks, illiteracy, the Coors corporation, Romance Cashmere, and so so many references to Kevin Costner.

So excited to listen to this, and my spouse will be with me in the car when I do. I warned him, he said "I'm ready" .... SIR. I ASSURE YOU, YOU ARE NOT! But I appreciate the energy. This book is the first romance I remember reading and re-reading, yes, in the 90s

casual wear when they are just lounging around in this book is described like they are spending an afternoon at knot's landing. THE TIME BEFORE ATHLEISURE.

two people from Knot's Landing all dressed up. he's in a tux, she's in a pink suit with a plunging front. I would have to be going to the oscars to get dressed up like this, they are probably going get an oil change.

I 100% have not changed a single goddamn thing about how I write here in the age of "AI." I write how I write. If the "AI" writes anything like how I write, it's because it stole from me. I'm gonna use any punctuation I like, and if it looks "AI"ish to you, you can go fuck yourself.

Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...

We did three Ted Lasso episodes during the show’s initial run, including one where we recommended books to/for/about our favorite characters from the show. It's the Diamond Dogs Book Club!
