We are releasing from behind the paywall the first episode of Boys! Boys! Boys! with Katy Belle! For the rest of the episodes and more, go to MaximumFun.org/join to support One Bad Mother in its final year!

***

While sorting through the detritus of her past, Biz came upon a book. An ancient book from the distant year of 1983, filled with antiquated beauty standards, extremely creepy behavior that was once considered charming, and Star Wars.

The book: Boys! Boys! Boys! by Jan Gelman. Book #2 in the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style series Follow Your Heart Romance.

Biz does the unthinkable and passes this unholy tome to her own freshly minted teen, Katy Belle. Will Katy Belle choose John, the football star? Tommy, the childhood friend? Or will Katy Belle decide all these of these guys are gross and live their own life?
