Episode 7 - Ella Enchanted, by Gail Carson Levine
After an all-too-endless holiday break, we're back, we're reading, and we're loving on Ella Enchanted. Don't write this well-rounded world off as a children's book - we gained so much from rereading it and Grace had several key epiphanies related to (you guessed it) personal perceptions of food. Do you love love? Then you'll enjoy listening to us attempt to articulate what makes Ella and Char's romance so appealing and feel Ella's pain as her curse isolates her from her loved ones. Struggling to break a curse laid upon you by an overeager fairy? It's time to get some tips from the master of finding tiny ways to overthrow an oppressive force. Ella is here to help!
Equal parts disturbing and delightful, this book has been a part of our lives longer than most, and we're excited to share it with you.
Star mispronunciation of this episode: Cary Elwes as Cary Yools - Should be El-wis! Also, Grace's voice cracking is at an all-time high, so. Enjoy.
