Jac, writer and Co-Host of Book Talk for Book Tok, returns to discuss Sarah J Maas' epic hit book series, A Court of Thorns and Roses (FKA ACOTAR). 

We discuss why the books are so popular, how women in fandom benefit the economy, and why female authors don't get the same respect as male authors. Tangents include how fiction can create a safe space to explore your own emotions, why fandom can feel a bit like therapy, and the truth about The Great Gatsby. 

Be sure to catch me on Book Talk for Book Tok with Amy and her co-host Jac, where we discuss the first romcom I ever made, and what Shakespeare's Hamlet means to me.
