Today I was in Books A Million in Butler Pennsylvania and a woman in front of me bought The Turnout because her daughter interviewed Meg Abbott on her podcast. Thank

I just discovered this podcast a few months ago. Love the topic - female characters who don't care if you like them - and the podcasters' discussion about them from a feminist perspective.

All three hosts are brilliant, talented, well-read, and entertaining.
