Description
Kristin and Jenny's marriage started with an ultimatum: to further their relationship, Kristin must watch Jenny's favourite show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. With the terms set, they began a journey that has led them through seven seasons of the beloved genre show, a podcast rewatching the series with their newly minted community of queer "Scoobies," unexpected fame, and a divorce. Through it all, their love for Buffy and their commitment to their community held them together against the odds.
Slayers, Every One of Us is the story of how two queer women navigated divorce on a very public level and managed to stay in each other's lives through it all. While chock full of Buffy content for true fans, it's ultimately a memoir of queer love and chosen family. It's a heartwarming story for anyone who's experienced heartbreak, and a roadmap for staying close with your ex.
