  • Episode 6: People We Meet On Vacation
    Jan 10 2026

    In this episode, Amy and Sarah celebrate the release of Emily Henry's first film adaptation by reviewing her beloved second novel, People We Meet On Vacation. An annual summer travel tradition, horrendous air conditioning, a major weather event (because of course, it's EmHen), and flashbacks to fantastical holidays around the globe, this book has ten years of chemistry hot enough to change all your carefully laid life plans. Grab a cuppa (or a crisp glass of chablis) and get comfy, we have much to discuss.

  • Episode 5: Pride and Prejudice (Part 2)
    Dec 26 2025

    In this episode, Amy and Sarah promenade into perhaps the most historic romance of all time, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. First published in 1813, this beloved story has it all: embarrassing family members, a grumpy billionaire, witty banter, class consciousness, terrible first impressions, and the most insulting marriage proposal on record. Grab a cuppa (or some excellent boiled potatoes) and get comfy, we have much to discuss.
