FRIDAY.
ICYMI on FYA
In our ongoing rewatch of Friday Night Lights, Meredith B. recaps “Humble Pie,” in which Eric isn’t the only Coach Taylor in Dillon.
In this week’s Book Reports:
- I reviewed Ali Hazelwood’s Deep End as part of our Grown Up Guide to Romance (last Friday, but it counts as within a week), which doesn’t stray from The Hazelwood FormulaTM, but is cute nonetheless; and Victoria Evans’s The History of Everything, a sweet and angsty graphic novel.
- And Brian reviewed Vanessa Montalban’s These Vengeful Wishes, a spooky book about a generational curse.
