Is it a happy ending? A sizzling summer romance? A compulsively readable storyline? All of the above? Books columnist Alicia Cox Thomson joins the chat with editor-in-chief and host Maureen Halushak in Episode 6 of Group Chat to talk all things summer books—including the three reads she says you won’t be able to put down this season.

Also in this episode: executive editor Erica Lenti and senior editor Andréanne Dion join Maureen to talk favourite spots for hot-weather reading, our all-time favourite summer books and a deep dive into “smooth-brained” reads.

Group Chat is new biweekly podcast that gets up close and personal with the editors of Chatelaine—and some very special guests.

Each episode, hosted by editor-in-chief Maureen Halushak, will explore one of the many topics, big and small, that matter to Canadian women—from menopause to weight bias to reality tv.

You can watch the podcast on Chatelaine’s YouTube channel or listen wherever you find your podcasts.
