The sophomore entry in Glasgows newest (and hopefully last) Spicy Book club, Read Our Lips.

Episode 2, "Do not say chub, no chubs" hears Gayle, Rebecca and Mathew dive strait into their second helping of Elle Kennedy's "The Deal".

Discussing pages 108 - 201 doesn't quite reach the climax but things are finally heating up.

Is chub acceptable, are Puck Bunnies saveable and honestly how much lube is too much lube?

Trigger Warning: 18+, HARD R themes are discussed frankly and candidly.

Recorded haphazardly for No Mean Radio.
