Hello! We are Emly and Hannah and we LOVE when books get turned into movies.
Our premise is simple: First, we will read a book THEN we will watch its movie adaptation and AFTER THAT we break down everything—the good, the bad, and the ‘how-dare-they-change-that?!'. We go deep into these books and we go hard on their movies. So Mind the margins, folks, because we're about to crack the spine and reveal the entire plot!
Join Hannah and Emily as their begin their lavish descent into Monied Maddess with Kevin Kwan's CRAZY RICH ASIANS. We're talking wealth, excess, and the absolute delightful chaos that is going on in the Young et. al. family. Join us!!
