About this listen

In this week’s episode of Book Bits & Chill, we’re hopping on a fictional jet to Sicily to break down Ali Hazelwood’s Problematic Summer Romance. From age-gap angst to secret past hookups, billionaire tech men, and limoncello-fueled lust, this book had us fully in our delulu era.

We’re unpacking all the tropes: older brother's best friend, rich but emotionally unavailable MMCs, thigh-riding escapades (yes, really), and a side cast of wildly successful women stuck with mid men. We talk spice (jalapeño level—with or without seeds?), realism (spoiler: nonexistent), and whether we’d recommend Connor Harkness as our summer fling or forever book boyfriend.

Whether you’re here for the Italian wedding fantasy, women in STEM, or a no-thoughts-just-vibes romance, this one’s for you.
