We’re closing out 2025 with our final Reese’s Book Club Pick of the year: Rebecca Armitage’s The Heir Apparent. Rebecca and our host, Danielle, get into all the goss you could ever want – from the real-life royal parallels in Rebecca’s debut novel, to who would make the best influencer IRL – and dig into questions that will absolutely guide us into the new year. What does inheritance look like, when you’re not from a family dripping in jewels? How do you reconcile power and love? And if no one will see your art… should you still make it?
