Episode 4: Unfixable by Tessa Bailey

It’s Episode Fore, if you will, featuring: forearms and foreplay in Tessa Bailey’s Unfixable!

Here’s what happened:

  • Hanna tried out a new tagline and Kate took a deep breath.

  • Hanna’s new book about an actor who has to play his twin to get another shot (this is a pun) with his ex, End of the Day, is out on 9/27! Kate did the math. (Our Instagram in the future is also really good—come be our friend!)

  • Dark Fever famously starts with a John Cougar Mellencamp quote.

  • Do drivers get to keep their trophies? We didn’t think so.

  • Kate does not know how to respond to Hanna’s new phrase: “loose in the clickity-clacks.” [POLL?? Vote on what this could possibly mean??? SO MANY QUESTION MARKS]

  • POV trends in romance are fascinating! Here’s more on that.

  • No official playlist for this book so you know what that means: We made you one!

  • How did Shane, who to our knowledge was not working out four hours a day, jump in a car and win that race when his neck was not as thick as Pierre Gasly’s? It should be giving “my shoulders are dead.”

  • Did Willa taste champagne on Shane’s skin? No. In this book, the champagne was sprayed on the car. Also! Turns out! No one is spraying champagne anymore–it’s a SPARKLING WINE spray now.

  • A regional delicacy in Monza is actually risotto.

  • Things we still don’t know: When can you use the F1 copyright in a book? How do you drive on a beach in Ireland? Why did Martin have to die?

  • Charles Leclerc has GREEN eyes. [KATE, I’m mostly including this so we can link to a photo of Charles because he’s so so handsome.]

  • Who is Shane? Not another K Mag? A winner like Max Verstappen? An in-and-outer like Albon or Ocon? More likely, as our producer pointed out, Shane is super-sub Nico Hülkenberg.

Please join us in ten years when we revisit the question “Do we like Vex now?” and also in two weeks to discuss Throttled, Dirty Air #1 by Lauren Asher.
