Always Booked

Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke Book Review

We read Yesteryear and we have THOUGHTS. The book everyone's calling "the most talked-about novel of 2026"? We get it. And we also have some problems with it. Natalie's tradwife life looks perfect on the outside...the farmhouse, the kids, the sourdough, the aesthetic Instagram grid. But behind the camera? A turkey baster. A marriage that's barely there. Nannies raising the kids she pretends to mother. Nothing about this life is real and we need to talk about why that makes this book so unsettling and so impossible to put down.In this episode: our review, the moments that made us gasp, the parts we disagree about, and whether Yesteryear is actually good or just perfectly timed.
