Logan Likes Mary Anne: “Let’s kill this cake” (ft. Melissa Walker!)

We have our first guest! We are joined by YA novelist and political organizer Melissa Walker to discuss teen romance (both believable and not), because here comes Logan Bruno from “Luevulle”! From Logan being too confident to analyzing Mary Anne’s behavior as shyness or social anxiety, we ponder questionable adolescent behavior. And who exactly is Mary Anne’s favorite group, Smash, based on?
