SEASON 4 EPISODE 2: GROWING UP
Well, I guess this is growing up. Yep that’s our theme this week as we read chapters 5-8 of Fangirl. Cath has a lot on her plate - she’s friends with Reagan now, she’s worried about her dad, she’s kind of, sort of fighting with Wren, and her boring boyfriend dumped her! over! the! phone! That’s a whole lot of opportunty for growing up to unpack there.
