Yuhhh!!! I started the show interested in how the show was gonna portray sex for teens and ended up loving it more for the characters and plot. It makes you soooo aware of how as a teen, you should not worry about sex and all that and normalizes what has been seen as taboo by so many. The flaws of the characters make me love them even more!!!

When Jack started talking about the problem of women history being written by men I remembered a book I’ve read by Svetlana Alexievich called “War’s Unwomanly Face” (or something like that), and it’s a book about the WWII from the point of view of female USSR veterans. It’s a very heavy read and I think it’s not largely available in English, but if someone here knows Russian or finds an English copy I highly recommend it. It is short, but each story is so heavy and triggering that it took me several months to go through, so be careful with it. But also… I think it’s a very important historical piece about the war, because in Soviet Union the WWII was always shown as the period of Soviet glory and strength while all dirty stories were hidden under the rug. Men were celebrating this war, but women experienced something they were never meant to (considering all the conservative views on women at that time), and for them the WWII is another story than what was celebrated

I read one of Alexievich's other novels, Chernobyl Prayer / Voices From Chernobyl (it's printed in English with two different titles), and had similar reading experience. It's a dark but an important account from voices you don't hear from in history books. I believe Alexievich has a background in journalism which really enriches her work.

Wow I literally saved an article of her reading list today to read them during my upcoming semester break and was hoping you'd do this. So happy 🤧💜

The actress of Maeve is French born and was just in the French movie Eiffel. She studied English language and literature in university. I just found out that today and found it fascinating how the personage Maeve resembles parts of her experiences.

You should start including how many hours you spend reading these books. Like, what's your wpm??

Maeve Wiley is the one of the best most complacied female characters ever! My favorite moment was when she got on the bus with the girls to suppoert her friend Amy after what happened to her. Loved that!

I’d love you to read (a few of) the books Rory Gilmore has read throughout the series. So many classics! x

was literally just rewatching this show a few days ago and had the thought "jack edwards should do a video on maeve's book recs" and boom. here it is. love it, great minds think alike!

I never really related to Maeve that much until season 3, since.. I'm not that smart. But in season 3, we learn she can't actually ride a bike because no one taught her and that really hit me, my mom doesn't know how to either and my dad is an addict. I truly empathize with her loving and forgiving her family members even though she knows they will continue to hurt her.

Jack, if Othello is your favorite Shakespeare play I REALLY recommend "Dom Casmurro" by Brazilian author Machado de Assis. He's just a genious author, very important in Brazilian literature, all his books are AMAZING, but Dom Casmurro depicts a very similar/Othello inspired story!

jack after explaining the entire plot of othello: spoiler alert.... by the way me literally studying othello rn and was about to go on spark notes to do my hw: ohhh.... gosh darnit...

"Spoiler alert btw...I mean..it was written 400 years ago, YOU'VE HAD TIME!" 😂😂
