   Intermezzo, Sally Rooney — Chapter 12

   We’re back with Margaret and her friend Anna who it turns out do have a good friendship. And it also turns out that “zero thoughts on Chapter 12” is actually 25 minutes of thoughts on Sally Rooney erupting Kathryn’s feelings on being down bad for someone, moms and imperative to unpack your friends’ relationships with them eternally, and of course bad communication. Send us an email if you have any idea what Kathryn is talking about at the end.

   Intermezzo, Sally Rooney — Chapter 11

   Whew! Kathryn and Hannah get 👏🏼 into 👏🏼  it 👏🏼 on this episode. Peter’s behavior leaves us with MUCH to talk about/disagree on. Is there ever really an ending to analyzing a complicated mans decisions? 🙄

   Intermezzo, Sally Rooney — Chapter 10

   It’s an analysis heavy episode and we ALMOST manage to avoid all discussions of sex, even when the chapter is largely about it. Ivans communication impresses Hannah but makes Kathryn angry, Kathryn discovered she has no empathy for animals, and Hannah chimes in with some complicated-mom expertise. We are in the weeds, people! Join us!
