In this episode of the Open/Booked Podcast, hosts Tisha and Loren discuss their current reads, local book events, and dive into a detailed analysis of 'Summer in the City' by Alex Aster. They explore character dynamics, themes of wealth and relationships, and the contradictions present in the story. The conversation also touches on upcoming book releases and the importance of community engagement in the literary world.

In case you're new here, we spoil the books we are discussing so please be sure you're either ok with spoilers, or have read the book to avoid learning details you might not want. TW: wealth, financial control, death of a parent off page, and some political issues which some may be sensitive to. Also we cuss like sailors, on leave (IYKYK) so if any of that makes you uncomfortable please skip this one.
