Kelly begins this episode with the last page of RM Virtues' debut novel "Drag Me Up." Ashley isn't a Greek Mythology enthusiast like her co-host, but she feels inspired by its sexiness. Give this one a listen if you appreciate a good threesome tutorial, too.

Ashley and Kelly open this week's episode with the last page of Natasha Bowen's 2022 debut, "Skin of the Sea." This "Little Mermaid" inspired tale is very Black, beautiful and drenched in Yoruba magic. They can't stop gushing about it, and you won't be able to either.
