Keep it in the Family By:John Marrs

Archers Voice By: Mia Sheridan

We finally did it—Christina read Archer’s Voice… and yes, we’re still recovering from All the Little Raindrops PTSD. In this episode of Happy Hour with the Book Bitches, we kick things off comparing the emotional damage (and healing) from both reads while giving Mia Sheridan the credit she absolutely deserves. This week’s signature drink, Bri’s Storm, is a refreshing blackberry mojito moment that pairs perfectly with all the feels—because trust us, there are a LOT. We’re recording late (again), a little unhinged (definitely), and laughing more than we probably should for such an emotional book. We dive into our favorite moments, the ones that had us screaming “WTF??”, and seriously… why were these characters showering so much? Also—can someone explain—WHERE IS PHOEBE?? Because we have questions. Between chaotic tangents, deep feels, and unexpected humor, we break down why Archer’s Voice still earned a pretty high rating. If you love emotional romance, small-town stories, and a little chaos with your book club energy—this one’s for you.
