SEASON 7 EPISODE 3: CURIOSITY

We're always striving to heed Ted Lasso's advice to be curious and not judgemental, so reading chapters 11-14 of Anna and the French Kiss through the theme of curiosity was a treat!

This week, the atmosphere is charged between Anna and St Clair in a dark cinama, Anna turns down Dave's advances in class, and a playful picnic in the cemetery is spoiled when St Clair gets some really bad news.

This episode was recorded on 6 August 2022.
