This is an Alex episode. She read One Day in December by Josie Silver (finally; it’s been on her tbr list for approximately ever). Once again our oldest friend joins our discussion for, sadly, the last time this round as she must go back home.

All Girls Want Bad Podcasts

HE DRINKS BEER

This week we have a special guest! Our oldest friend regales us with a summary of the novella Talk Sweetly To Me by the powerhouse Courtney Milan. She chose it by googling math romance novels, so you can kind of predict what kind of nerd she is.

Mouth Gargle

Evangelina read the Marked series by the romance elite S.J. Day. It’s...a ride. Not one love interest is perfect. There’s a lot of questionable religious imagery and parallels. Ms. Day, I hate to be the one to say it but the Bible is, well, it’s just not sexy. Trigger warning: we talk about dubious consent in the novel. There’s also a fair bit of unfortunate rape culture talk happening.

A Nun in Juggalo Makeup

This week Alex talks about How to Hack a Heartbreak by Kristen Rockaway. It’s not great. The book, that is. Alex is always great.

Bloghgkloghlockkl

It’s the long awaited (maybe just for Alex) release day of the Can You Keep a Secret movie. In honor of this momentous occasion, Alex rambles on about all the Sophie Kinsella books she’s read and gives an unofficial, incomplete ranking of best to worst.

Happy Birthday, Can You Keep a Secret? Movie

This week is Still Star-Crossed by Melinda Taub. The novel, not the short-lived tv show. It’s Evangelina’s week so you know it’s going to be a good time.

We’ll Have Nun of That

This week is an itty bitty episode. Alex kicks it off with By the Book by Julia Sonneborn (spoiler: she does not recommend it). Evangelina finishes the episode with a fond retelling of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer.

Get a New Obsession

It’s an Evangelina week. She talks about Asher Black: A Fake Fiancé Mafia Romance by Parker Huntington. It’s a good time.

I Am Fake Wife Material. Please!

This week Alex talks about her favorite book of her childhood (and possibly all time) Titanic: The Long Night by Diane Hoh.

A Lot of People...Died

This week, Alex talks about Seed: A Dark Sci-Fi Omegaverse Romance by Penelope Woods. It is...quite the journey. ***Warnings for body horror, fun-con, and threats of rape. It’s a pretty dark book.*** --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Dying by Dick

This week, Evangelina talks about To Catch A Pirate by Jade Parker. There are pirate hunters, no one gets seasick, and Alex literally falls in love with one of the characters. It’s a delightful time. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

A Spectre Has Appeared!

This week, Evangelina talks about Virgin Tribute by Delta James and...oh dear. There was a lot to talk about. There was smacking of body parts that should not be smacked and some truly baffling euphemisms.

Elder Stanley’s Jealous

Alex discusses the novel Not So Nice Guy by R. S. Grey and reminisces on high school science class with Evangelina.

Winked. Singular.

It’s Evangelina’s week, and she takes Alex on a journey through Prince of Swords by Linda Winstead Jones. Among topics of conversation are loss of virginity, who the main character SHOULD have ended up with, and the seminal teen comedy Whatever It Takes.

Progressive Demons

The ladies do things a little differently this week. Alex discusses From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata and brings up the 1992 seminal classic The Cutting Edge at every conceivable chance she gets. Evangelina is a good sport about it.

Frightening Banana

Each episode, two friends each read a different romance novel, then tell the other about the plot. It’s fun, we promise.
