About this listen

Read a Friggin’ Book is a mother-daughter podcast where bonding meets books and banter. Each episode, we dive into a young adult fiction novel, reviewing the drama, the tropes, the twists, and the cringe with a healthy dose of humor (and occasional eye rolls). What started as a compromise to delay social media turned into our favorite way to connect: over stories, sass, and sarcastic commentary. Whether you’re a fellow YA fan or just here for the laughs, we’ve got a seat saved for you.

    One of Us Is Next: Chapters 26-30
    Aug 12 2025

    Our penultimate deep dive into One of Us Is Next is packed with twists, heartbreak, and the kind of drama only Bayview and 90s daytime television can provide.


    Maeve and Knox, with way too much free time, decide that stalking someone is the logical next step, because of course they do. Meanwhile, Phoebe is holding everyone together, only to be blindsided by the return of a familiar detective and devastating new details about her father’s death.


    The biggest shock? We finally unmask both Unknown and Bayview_2020, and the truth changes everything.


    Over on the lighter side (sort of), Eli and Ashton just want to throw a romantic party to celebrate their love, but Karen McManus has to torture Nate some more so that goes out the window quickly. Naturally, chaos ensues.


    If you’re ready for explosive reveals, high-stakes secrets, and one last cliffhanger before the finale, this is the episode you can’t miss.

  • One Of Us is Next Chapters 21-25

    One Of Us is Next Chapters 21-25
    Aug 5 2025

    We've figured it out! Not really, but we're trying really hard.


    In this week’s episode, we’re diving into chapters 21–25 of One of Us Is Next by Karen M. McManus. Everyone’s watching someone, secrets are on the verge of spilling, and the mystery behind Unknown is starting to take shape.


    Maeve gets a life-altering phone call that sets her on a brand new path, Luis flexes his detective muscles (again), and Phoebe turns the tables on a mystery follower. Meanwhile, Knox is done playing it safe and makes a bold move in the name of answers. And back at home, Phoebe walks in on a moment that makes it clear Emma’s struggles are more serious than anyone realized.


    Join us as we break down the drama, the clues, and the chaos.

    If you make a plan to stalk someone, don't be weirded out by binoculars. And if your friend is being stalked, please tell them.
