ORDER OUR DECEMBER BOOK: ⁠⁠The White Hot, by Quiara-Alegra Hudes⁠⁠

To help unravel the secrets of The Big Apple, Tava, Brett, and Alex flew in someone who knows a thing or two about art, culture, the gay scene, and sweat. In this episode, Sam Whitney regretfully informs the gang that Brandon Taylor was pretty accurate in his depiction of NYC in November's book, Minor Black Figures. He patiently explains what it is like to live in America's biggest and most important city, compares it to his time in San Francisco, and doesn't get upset when Alex says she hates his adopted home.

ORDER OUR DECEMBER BOOK: The White Hot, by Quiara-Alegra Hudes

As the weather gets colder, Tava, Brett, and Alex look to a sweaty New York City summer romance to keep warm. Minor Black Figures, a tale that focuses on art and artists, isn't always what the crew wants it to be, but as usual they have plenty to talk about and some strong opinions about the characters, the writer's choices, and the ending.
