We made it through the wilderness. Yeah, we made it through. We are not the same people who started this series, but we finished. We made it. We cried, we laughed, we had a great time, but also would not recommend. If you have made it this far, congrats to you, we are very happy you're here! And if you aren't, what are you even doing, but also make sure you're following Tiffany and Grace!
We spoke about the Hail Reaper Podcast interview they recently did with Pierce Brown, listen here!
