This week I'm diving into one of the most talked-about—and divisive—book releases of the year: Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. I break down the story (spoilers included!), unpack the book's biggest themes around tradwife culture, feminism, social media, and satire, and explain why I'm still so conflicted about whether it fully succeeds. It's a fascinating read that sparked a brilliant discussion in my book club, and I'm curious to hear where you land too.

As always, I wrap things up with my Songs of the Week, featuring new music from Ryan Beatty, Gracie Abrams, and the long-awaited return of Carly Rae Jepsen. Grab a coffee, get comfortable, and let's get into it.
