On The Ex Talk, two exes will deliver relationship advice live, on air. Their boss decides Shay and Dominic are the perfect co-hosts, given how much they already despise each other. Neither loves the idea of lying to listeners, but it's this or unemployment. Their audience gets invested fast, and it's not long before The Ex Talk becomes a must-listen in Seattle and climbs podcast charts.<br \/>\nAs the show gets bigger, so does their deception, especially when Shay and Dominic start to fall for each other.

It\u2019s a cheap stunt, but Mark Adams knows it\u2019s optics that can win or ruin an election.<br \/>\nEverything Mark learned about politics, he learned from his father, the congressman who still pretends he has a daughter and not a son. To protect his father\u2019s image, Mark promises to keep his past hidden and pretend to be the cis guy everyone assumes he is. But when he sees a manipulatively charming candidate for student body president inflame dangerous rhetoric, Mark decides to risk the low profile he assured his father and insert himself as a political challenger.<br \/>\nOne big problem? No one really knows Mark. He didn\u2019t grow up in this town, and he has few friends; plus, the ones he does have aren\u2019t exactly with the in-crowd. Still, thanks to countless seasons of Scandal and The West Wing, these nerds know where to start: from campaign stops to voter polling to a fashion makeover. Soon Mark feels emboldened to get in front of and engage with voters\u2014and even start a new romance. But with an investigative journalist digging into his past, a father trying to silence him, and a bully front-runner who stands in his way, Mark will have to decide which matters most: perception or truth, when both are just as dangerous.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-02-09T04:59:51+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Tuesday!\\r\\n\\r\\nTop Ten Tuesday\\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week's theme is VALENTINE'S DAY FREEBIE!\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nSometimes freebie weeks frustrate me because..\",\n\t\"publisher\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Organization\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Kait Plus Books\"\t},\n\t\"url\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\\\/books\\\/top-ten-tuesday-february-9-2021\\\/\",\n\t\"itemReviewed\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Book\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"The [Un]Popular Vote\",\n\t\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\t\"name\": \"Jasper Sanchez\",\n\t\t\t\"sameAs\": \"\"\t\t},\n\t\t\"isbn\": \"\"\t},\n\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Kaity\",\n\t\t\"sameAs\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\\\/books\\\/\"\t},\n\t\"reviewRating\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Rating\",\n\t\t\"ratingValue\": false,\n\t\t\"bestRating\": \"5\"\n\t}\n}\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hearts-Divider-February-2021.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"70\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hearts-Divider-February-2021.png 850w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hearts-Divider-February-2021-300x25.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hearts-Divider-February-2021-768x63.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-divines-cover.png\" alt=\"Top Ten Tuesday | February 9, 2021\" title=\"Top Ten Tuesday | February 9, 2021\" class=\"ubb-cover-image alignleft\"><strong>The Divines<\/strong> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/authors\/ellie-eaton\/\">Ellie Eaton<\/a> <br><strong>Published on<\/strong>  January 19, 2021 by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/publishers\/william-morrow\/\">William Morrow<\/a> <br><strong>Genres:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/genres\/adult\/\">Adult<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/genres\/contemporary\/\">Contemporary<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/genres\/historical-fiction\/\">Historical Fiction<\/a> <br><strong>Pages:<\/strong> 320 <br><strong>Add to <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/53018367-the-divines\" target=\"_blank\">Goodreads<\/a> <br><blockquote class=\"ubb-synopsis\"><p>With the emotional power of Normal People and the reflective haze of The Girls, a magnetic novel that moves between present-day Los Angeles and a British boarding school in the 1990s, exploring the destructive relationships between teenage girls.<br \/>\nCan we ever really escape our past?<br \/>\nThe girls of St John the Divine, an elite English boarding school, were notorious for flipping their hair, harassing teachers, chasing boys, and chain-smoking cigarettes. They were fiercely loyal, sharp-tongued, and cuttingly humorous in the way that only teenage girls can be. For Josephine, now in her thirties, the years at St John were a lifetime ago. She hasn\u2019t spoken to another Divine in fifteen years, not since the day the school shuttered its doors in disgrace.<br \/>\nYet now Josephine inexplicably finds herself returning to her old stomping grounds. The visit provokes blurry recollections of those doomed final weeks that rocked the community. Ruminating on the past, Josephine becomes obsessed with her teenage identity and the forgotten girls of her one-time orbit. With each memory that resurfaces, she circles closer to the violent secret at the heart of the school\u2019s scandal. But the more Josephine recalls, the further her life unravels, derailing not just her marriage and career, but her entire sense of self.<br \/>\nSuspenseful, provocative, and compulsively readable, The Divines is a scorching examination of the power of adolescent sexuality, female identity, and the destructive class divide. Exposing the tension between the lives we lead as adults and the experiences that form us, Eaton probes us to consider how our memories as adults compel us to reexamine our pasts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-02-09T04:59:51+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Tuesday!\\r\\n\\r\\nTop Ten Tuesday\\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week's theme is VALENTINE'S DAY FREEBIE!\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nSometimes freebie weeks frustrate me because..\",\n\t\"publisher\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Organization\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Kait Plus Books\"\t},\n\t\"url\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\\\/books\\\/top-ten-tuesday-february-9-2021\\\/\",\n\t\"itemReviewed\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Book\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"The Divines\",\n\t\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\t\"name\": \"Ellie Eaton\",\n\t\t\t\"sameAs\": \"\"\t\t},\n\t\t\"isbn\": \"\"\t},\n\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Kaity\",\n\t\t\"sameAs\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\\\/books\\\/\"\t},\n\t\"reviewRating\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Rating\",\n\t\t\"ratingValue\": false,\n\t\t\"bestRating\": \"5\"\n\t}\n}\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hearts-Divider-February-2021.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"70\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hearts-Divider-February-2021.png 850w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hearts-Divider-February-2021-300x25.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hearts-Divider-February-2021-768x63.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-betrayed-cover.png\" alt=\"Top Ten Tuesday | February 9, 2021\" title=\"Top Ten Tuesday | February 9, 2021\" class=\"ubb-cover-image alignleft\"><strong>The Betrayed<\/strong> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/authors\/kiera-cass\/\">Kiera Cass<\/a> <br><strong>Series:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/series\/the-betrothed\/\">The Betrothed #2<\/a> <br><strong>Published on<\/strong>  July 6, 2021 by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/publishers\/harperteen\/\">HarperTeen<\/a> <br><strong>Genres:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/genres\/fantasy\/\">Fantasy<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/genres\/romance\/\">Romance<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/genres\/ya\/\">YA<\/a> <br><strong>Pages:<\/strong> 304 <br><strong>Add to <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/53240276-the-betrayed\" target=\"_blank\">Goodreads<\/a> <br><blockquote class=\"ubb-synopsis\"><p>Can you follow your heart when it\u2019s already broken?<br \/>\nAfter <span class=\"ubb-spoiler\"><a class=\"ubb-view-spoil\">View Spoiler &raquo;<\/a><span style=\"display: none;\" class=\"ubb-thespoil\">fleeing Coroa and leaving the memory of her beloved Silas behind, Hollis is unsteadily adjusting to life in Isolte.

She can't imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there's certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures.<br \/>\nBut then, there's this gorgeous girl on the train.<br \/>\nJane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August's day when she needed it most. August's subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there's one big problem: Jane doesn't just look like an old school punk rocker. She's literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her.
