This has in no way influenced my voluntary review, which is honest and unbiased *Since both Lexxie and I are fans of #girlpower we figured MMankin's Rock F*ck Club #2 was a great way to kick off our joint venture. We hope y'all enjoy our chat! And keep an eye on our Facebook page today...there might be a giveaway! ;)

B: What did you think about how MMankin presented Rock F*ck Club #2? The end-of-season perspective? The challenges Lucky and Raven were facing and how they were dealing with them?

L: I really found the after-filming to be very interesting. Especially because so much had changed between Lucky and Raven. And her outlook on life and relationships had done a full 180. It was also good to see that while she was worried about many things, she was also kept safe both by Lucky and Marsha.

The after-filming was very interesting. And I felt MMankin did such a great job at keeping things real. The things they were experiencing and feeling were all genuine and realistic. I appreciated that element quite a bit.

 

How did you feel about the #girlpower/female solidarity element during the story? At the end?

#girlpower for the win! I love stories where female empowerment and solidarity is important, and I felt that Mankin did this extremely well. How she made it so that Raven had more than one woman on her side - how they built each other up. And I also loved that while the women are all different, they have something in common. They were able to be even stronger when they presented themselves as one force.

Ha! I love that. Yes! #girlpower for the win, indeed!  I, too, love stories where female empowerment and solidarity are integral, and MMankin did do it well. :) I loved the posse of female characters, all taking each other's backs. The end shook me a bit though. And that's all I'm going to say about that. ;)

 

What was your favorite part?

My favorite part was when Raven had to meet the TV executive. And both Sky and Marsha came with her - plus the assistant - I forget her name. I loved that this is what made the exec see things from a different perspective than her own.

That meeting was a favorite part for me as well. Barbara, the assistant, is a character I'm hoping to see more of in the future. I liked this part for the same reasons you did as well as it demonstrating the posse looking out for one another. I also loved this part because it showed some of the character growth in Raven I'd been hoping for. :)

I will also say that MMankin left me chomping at the bit for Rock F*ck Club #3! Luckily it was already available.
