About this episode

Emilie and guest Rachael Dague revisit the book Unfounded, sharing insights and revelations from their reread.

Some books are so good you can't help but reread them over and over again. And when they're really good, you discover something new every time. That's exactly what happened when listener Rachael Dague joined Emilie as a guest co-host to revisit Unfounded by Jessie Lewis. Everyone already knows Emilie is a huge Jessie Lewis fan (with Mistaken still narrowly holding the top spot), but Unfounded isn't far behind. This episode is definitely a gushy one, filled with our favorite moments (romantic and otherwise!). But rereading the book also led to a few delightful revelations, especially for Emilie, as we uncovered details we'd somehow missed before, including the realization that Mrs. Reynolds's prejudice mirrors Elizabeth's in the original Pride and Prejudice. As always, the conversation eventually wanders into other great variations and all the reasons we love Darcy and Elizabeth. Whether you're reading Unfounded for the first time or the fifth, we think you'll find something new to love right alongside us. 🎙️ Hosted by Emilie Davis and special guest co-host Rachael Dague 🎵 Music Credit: Pride & Prejudice Book Club Theme composed, performed, and arranged by Megan Mason. 📚…
