I'm gonna scoot you here.

one was the worst book of Q2 by a landslide.

It's called The End of Romance by Lily Meyer.

I think I have already whinged about this either on TikTok or on the podcast, but this was an advanced reader's copy that we received.

And when it started, I was reading it and I was like, okay.

Oh, I mean there's just a lot of different things whether it be people just not really coming in through their doors.

I mean we've also seen some really great reporting from our Lily Meyer who really had some great stories about how their sheer leggings have also caused a lot of issues.

It's not the first time that that's happened for Lululemon, but definitely a lot of issues and also bigger competition.

You have Alo, you have Vuori, just a lot of other options that are catching people's eyes that are leading people to not necessarily have to go to Lululemon in the ways that they had to previously.
