Hey-o, that's right! Since the world seems to be stuck in some type of terrible funk right now, and if you're like me (two weeks into being bogged down by Spanish homework while being locked in the house with your two sometimes screaming nieces y su cuñada), you probably could use a bit of an …
It's 12:01 a.m. EST. Which means it's officially March (Friday the) 13th, 2020. Which means... it's here. Guys, I'm talking about What the Luck, Emma Lenford!, which releases RIGHT NOW!
