Miss Jaye is back, and her road to self discovery is off to a rocky start! For this episode, she's reading Lee Crutchley's HOW TO BE HAPPY (OR AT LEAST LESS SAD)...and things are not going well. Is it just that Miss Jaye is a little too *ahem* mature for the book's intended audience, or is this just not the right fit for her? Find out all of her thoughts on this creative workbook for growth and self-discovery!

Part One: Can You Judge A Book By It's Title?Miss Jaye talks about her reaction to this book's title, why she decided to include it in the Squad, and considers whether it might be saying more than she first thought.
