Send us Fan Mail On this episode of **The Book Fix** podcast, your hosts Yajaira and Cheli dive into *Game On* by Navessa Allen which is a chaotic…
I was at the store
minding my own business when
all of a sudden this
grating noise.
It felt like when you see something from your childhood that you thought you let go.
Oh,
okay.
I thought that
I would never see this
third book come out.
Okay.
Because after the second book, I was like, you know what? I kind of like that, but I don't think I want to partake in any more of this.
I think I'm good.
Mm-hmm.
Game On.
Please.
You're such a
liar.
Game On by Nevesa Allen was there staring me in the face.
Yeah.
Bright
green.
And I texted you like something happened.
No.
What did I
say? Oh, wait, yes.
I kind of scared you.
You scared me because you said, oh my gosh, something happened.
I don't know what it was, but I was like, oh my gosh, is she okay? I know.
Already in your car.
And then you sent me a picture of the book.
And I was like, girl, are you serious? I was over here panicking.
And we weren't going to do this book originally.
Yeah, I
said no.
I kicked my feet.
I said, hell no.
Because listen, I loved the first book.
Second book was snooze.
Snooze fez.
Amazing second book.
No, it was really bad.
First
book was lacking, but second book...
Excuse me? He knifed my bed.
It wasn't your bed.
It was her bed.
No, but I'm in the...
I'm there.
I'm putting myself in a situation.
Okay, but...
That's kind of hot, though.
It's like, man, this man does not care.
This man does not care.
Buy me a mattress.
Buy
me a mattress.
I...
He's like, babe, I have a purple
mattress for you
waiting right outside your door.
Babe, I actually
don't have a mattress for you.
Can you just, like, sleep around it? It's like, oh, yeah, babe.
And I'm just...
Yeah.
So we weren't going to do this book originally, but I feel like we needed to.
We needed to.
And also it does fit the theme of this month, which is forced proximity.
That's why we are
handcuffed together.
So I've never been happier.
So our main character.
Wait, hold on.
Wait, why are you talking about? Yeah.
Queen.
Do you think revisiting the Nevesa Allen verse? The
lights out, caught up and now game on.
And finally seeing what
Tyler's
all
about.
Do you think that can
fix your life,
queen? Yeah, it totally can.
