Book Club Ep #2: The Midnight Bargain

In this second episode of the JWM Book Club, we discuss the novel, The Midnight Bargain. Set in a faraway fantasy land, The Midnight Bargain is a story about Beatrice Clayborn who makes her debut at "bargaining season" — an annual event where wealthy young men and women gather from around the world to make advantageous marriages. As the story develops, Beatrice finds herself facing an impossible choice between realizing the full potential of her talents or marrying for true love and having a family.

Liv and Kate do a deep dive into the magic, romance and feminist themes in this book. Also, Kate scolds Liv for deceiving her into reading this book by describing it as "Bridgerton with magic."
