It's our first short story collection ever, fam! Put on your Bush tapes and break out the Delia's, because it's 1996 in the world of Girl Goddess #9 by Francesca Lia Block. Jess and Josh discuss the finer points of zine culture, cool California teens (like actually cool, not Sweet Valley cool), and getting dressed for the Rock Show in this, an episode unlike any other. This time, the book might actually be...good?? The issues might be relevant to the real, modern world?! It's strange new territory for us, folks.
Next episode, join us for Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu (now a Netflix movie!).
