One Crazy Summer
This week we are resetting after Mansfield Park and getting in the summer spirit with the wacky 80’s movie, One Crazy Summer. With young John Cusack, Demi Moore, Bobcat Goldthwait and a plethora of other memorable characters, it is quintessentialy 80’s in a very fun way.*re-upload to fix editing glitch
This week we wrap our thoughts on Mansfield Park, talk about what we are planning through the summer, and discover what city in England we should move to.
We’ve reached the end of Mansfield Park and quite a bit happens in these last few chapters. How will all the pieces land and is the final chapter wrap-up as delightful as usual? Find out if this book maintained its spot as Maya’s favorite.
This week is our penultimate episode. Three months pass in Portsmouth and Fanny receives a significant visitor and several very consequential letters.

This week the pressure is on and Fanny is feeling the weight of it. Edmund returns and Crawfords prepare to leave, and Fanny can’t seem to help but speak her truth.
This week we are covering four emotionally charged chapters. A week of pent up feelings leads to an explosive cliffhanger.
This week we are covering chapters 25 -28 and everything’s coming up Fanny. William is in town, everyone is thinking of her, and she is coming out. How will our shy little heroine deal with being the center of attention?
