Happy 2021, lovely listeners! It’s our favorite time of the year: Urban Fic Month. (Okay, so we were still a little hungover from 2020 and this episode is a tad late. Forgive us!)
This year, we read a classic: The Cartel by Ashley & JaQuavis. There’s money, romance, murder and a lot of anti-Haitian sentiment. It’s uncomfortable.
There’s also some “sexy” farting (or should we say queuing?), a graphic castration and a whole lot of colorism. Get the alcohol ready, because this one is wild.
Trigger warning for a mention of rape and discussion of homophobia starting at 1:07:40.
