 <\/p>\n

The Venn diagram between Flashback Summer and Sad Girl Summer is overlapping! We read Bridge to Terabithia<\/em> by Katherine Paterson<\/a>. For our discussion we were joined by a very cool sad girl, Theresa Okokon<\/a> (@Ohh.Jeezzz<\/a>), the author of Who I Always Was<\/a><\/em> and cohost of Stories from the Stage<\/a>. By the way, if you haven’t gotten around to reading this one before–it is actually good and we are actually spoiling the heck out of it. You’ve been warned. (And if you\u00a0have<\/em> read it: then you know you should have a box of tissues handy for this episode.)<\/p>\n
