Is that a dragonfly necklace, or is it just a ghost whispering to you?
Join Jill and Sam on Improbably Bad Books as they dive into Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella—a tale of ghosts, fashion, and a feisty great-aunt from the Roaring Twenties. Together, they navigate the highs and lows of this charming chick-lit novel, from flapper dresses in modern-day London to secondhand embarrassment on the dance floor.
Discover how a ghostly friendship turns into a heartfelt connection, why gin and tonics are the perfect book club pairing, and which 2000s-era Aston Martin made Sam's "solid writing" list. Whether you're looking for a cozy post-shopping read or just curious about Charleston lessons at 2 a.m., this episode has something for everyone.
And hey, if the necklace whispers, listen carefully. ✨
