Sex and Vanity Part 2: New York

In this episode, Élaina and Sophia tackle the second half of Kevin Kwan’s latest beach read Sex & Vanity. They discuss old New York blue bloods and Lucie's struggle to fit into the upper-middle class white side of her family; Lucie’s new, social climbing love interest; and what reading a novel with a mixed-race heroine meant to them.
