Steamy romance, a feminist ally, and faux dating.  What more could you ask for?  Join us as we dig into the patriarchy, having a partner who helps you grow, and all the tropes. If that wasn’t enough to convince you, there’s also a pet hedgehog who gets some hilarious time on the page.  We're excited to discuss this delightfully nerdy tale of enemies-to-lovers.  We’re happy you’ve joined the conversation.

This week, join us as we discuss one of Kat’s all-time favorite series.  DJ and Trisha navigate family dynamics, past traumas, and career demands in this beautifully crafted book.  We dig into the laughable miscommunications, stubborn exchanges and, between almost-spilled caramel and countless laddoos, the building romantic tension between our couple.  Can they successfully and believably move from hate to begrudging alliance to love?

TW: Cancer/illness, interaction between a Black man and a police officer, classism, sexual assault

Welcome to "Brain Candy Book Club," the podcast where we read fun, steamy romance books and discuss the characters’ red and green flags, who desperately needs therapy, who has the best community, and if we think they’d make it in the long run. Led by two women who use romance books as a cathartic escape from modern dating and as a reminder to raise the standard for their own relationships, “BCBC” is your invitation to join in as they dish on the on-the-page drama.

Come along as they read a wide selection of funny, witty books that embrace complex characters from different backgrounds whose happily ever after can look different than a ring and fade to black ending.
