SEASON 7 EPISODE 2: COMPLAINING

We’re a week in, and so is Anna, as we read chapters 6-10 of Anna and the French Kiss through the theme of complaining. We ponder the difference between venting and complaining, and also ponder the benefits of a good ol whinge. It’s cathartic ok!

In this section, Anna’s getting the hang of school, even if she is still anxious. Anna and St Clair have a magical night walking around the city only for St Clair’s girlfriend Ellie to appear and whisk him away. Anna’s trying to become better friends with Rashmi and, after discovering Paris is packed with cinemas, invites her to a movie.

This episode was recorded on 30 July 2022.
