USA Today and #1 Amazon Bestselling author Pippa Grant is joining us today to talk about unlikable heroines and why they need love too. Plus, we get to hear a little about her romantic comedies! (Fair warning: this talk is more PG-13 than some of our others so don’t listen with kiddos in the car.)

- Dawn and Roni have their RAD Reading After Dark voices going because when we recorded, we were both recovering from COVID
- Unlikable heroine does not mean a badly written heroine
- The double standard for heroines
- Types of unlikable heroines - the b**ch, the achiever, the sexually liberated heroine, the messy heroine, true female villains

- Roni has feelings about Fatal Attraction
- “Cool motive. Still murder.” – Dawn
- Roni’s meanest heroine
