📖✨ Calling all drama lovers, book bingers, and hopeless romantics—Softcover Podcast is back with another juicy read, and this one’s dripping in betrayal and complicated love. Warning: This episode features a fierce female lead, a tangled web of secrets, and two co-hosts spiraling (in the best way possible). This week, we’re obsessed with A Heart of Desire and Deceit by Elena Gallea—and more importantly, we’re obsessed with Brynleigh, the bold, brilliant, no-BS heroine at the heart of it all.

She’s got smarts and survival instincts that put the rest of the cast to shame—and let’s be real, we’d totally follow her into a plot full of betrayal and danger any day. Whether she’s dodging lies, chasing the truth, or cutting off toxic men with the precision of a chef’s knife, Brynleigh is the main character energy we live for.

 As always, we’re here with unfiltered opinions, chaotic commentary, and lots of name calling (you’ve been warned).

Perfect for fans of dark romance and messy characters making messier decisions. Let’s just say… we didn’t read this book, we devoured it.

Hit play, join the chaos, and don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review
