SEASON 7 EPISODE 9: OPPORTUNITY

This week we’re reading chapters 40-43 of Anna and the French Kiss through the theme of opportunity. Who has them? Who wants them? Can you really make your own? We unpack it all this week.

In this section, Anna is wallowing in her own misery, convinced everyone hates her and that her life is ruined. Rashmi disposes her of this notion. She confronts St Clair about his poor choices and he fires back, but Anna takes a hard look at herself and begins to understand that life is not so black and white. 

 This episode was recorded on 10 September 2022.
