We Wanna Be Where the Rachel Bloom People Are

It was bound to happen: a full episode devoted to one of our favorites, Rachel Bloom, and her new book, "I Want to Be Where the Normal People Are." Reading this felt like a Disneyland ride through the author's head: Erin celebrated Rachel's honest truth-telling and fantastic brain, and Esther appreciated the book's balance of comedy and pain. After sharing ideas for an on-brand Rachel Bloom bat mitzvah, the bagels ponder the question should we name and shame the bullies, or deny that they have any power over us by ignoring them?   "I Wanna Be Where the Normal People Are" is available wherever books are sold these days. Buy the book locally, here!  (*Not a paid advertisement, we just love her and want to promote strong successful Jewish women.)   Follow Erin, Esther and The Bagel Report on Twitter!
