In this episode we dive into Josie Silver’s Slow Burn Summer. We share our honest reactions to the novel, from the lack of real chemistry between the main love interests to some of the over-the-top moments that pulled us out of the story. We also reflect on the challenge of giving critical reviews, especially when we’ve had the chance to speak directly with the author.

In this bonus episode, Corrie and Lucia sit down to discuss Emily Henry's newest release - Great Big Beautiful Life.

Join us for our thoughts on advanced reader copies, similarities to other books, believable characters and heart-wrenching final chapters.

Thank you to Viking and Penguin Random House for sending us advanced reader copies of this book!

In this bonus Christmas episode, we discuss Kiss Her Once For Me by Alison Cochrun. Published in November 2022, this queer Christmas romance is full of family, snow and second chances. So pour yourself a mug of hot chocolate (or mulled wine), bite into a cookie and cosy up with us as we share our thoughts on fake dating, Christmas traditions, family dynamics and diversity in books.
