Summary

This week, Emily and I had the juiciest conversation with Emily Adrian, author of The Seduction Theory, which Emily and I both obsessively read in tandem. It's a delicious novel about the stories we tell ourselves and each other, the nature of infidelity, and how desirable women are both embodied and objectivized.

Other Topics Covered:

  • Sara's questionable notion of aspirational womanhood

  • The novel concept of married people who are still in love

  • The duality of hot moms and sad moms

  • The luxury of time when you're an academic without kids

  • Physical cheating vs. emotional cheating

  • "Can straight men revere their partners?"

  • The balance between power and vulnerability

  • Is seduction simply another form of challenge?

  • Sometimes Sara doesn't want to read about motherhood!

  • Are kids insurance against a cheating partner (lol lol lol)?

  • Emily's hilarious "good thing" for the week. Tween-approved.
