S1E4: Time to talk about romance! As hopeless romantics, romance fiction is a guilty pleasure of ours, and in this episode we discuss some of our all-time favorite romance authors and reads (i.e. Nicholas Sparks, Sophie Kinsella, etc.).
We spend the bulk of our conversation analyzing two common romance book tropes: miscommunication and enemies to lovers. One we can’t stand, and the other we can’t get enough of.
