Wendy and Amy take on two short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald, "Babes in the Woods" and "Crazy Sunday." They also try a classic prosecco happy hour drink in jello shot form, the Aperol Spritzer Jello Shot. They discuss first lines, the power they have, or don't have, to pull the reader in, and endings that leave a reader satisfied; elements that are unique to Fitzgerald and some common themes. Pop a cork to a crazy, fun time!
