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.
