Show Notes
Hi Smooches! Today we’re recapping “Kiss Her Once for Me” by Alison Cochrun. This book is a sapphic Christmas second chance romance with a fake engagement to the love interest’s brother. It sounds complicated, and it is. It’s the perfect holiday read for you if you loved the movie “Dan In Real Life,” if you wanted Kristen Stewart and Aubrey Plaza to end up together during “Happiest Season,” and if Evermore is your favorite Taylor Swift album. Spoilers ahead.

Hi Smooches! Happy New Year. Thanks for riding out a weird and wobbly 2024 with us. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or are just tuning in, Meg and I are grateful for you. Now, we don’t know about you, but we have a pretty good feeling that you’ve been feeling some rage lately. So let’s process that together. We’re recapping the horror rom-com Your Monster, with special guest Deanna. Spoilers ahead!
Hi Smooches! Liz here. On today’s episode, I’m telling Meg about one of my favorite books of the year, definitely in the top 3 and possibly my book of the year. It’s a dark rom-com between a black cat trauma nurse, and a golden retriever thirst trap creator who is more than a little obsessed with her. It’s a book that asks, what if the obsessed stalker hero is actually so babygirl? We’re talking about Lights Out by Navessa Allen. Spoilers ahead. And if you’d like a mood playlist for this book, we made you one!: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7DnobOug3shqCHuPUGDO3x?si=keegKl2CTiaPh-TdgWRS7w
