This week, we’re talking about the second half of Bridgerton Season 4: Benedict and Sophie. And dearest gentle readers, we’ve never been more excited to be wrong about something. Rae is eating crow and Veronica is sobbing on the couch. Between Benedict, Sophie, Violet, and Francesca, this season might very well be the best one yet.

Time to revisit manic pixie dream girl Poppy and Vacation Alex! In a rare example of the movie being better than the book, we watched People We Meet on Vacation on Netflix. Also, it’s the return of SOS, brought to all of us by Nicole Parker.

To mark the beginning of Bridgerton Season 4 (part 1), we read An Offer from a Gentleman (Bridgerton Book 3) by Julia Quinn. For Veronica, it was a re-read (or a skim) and for Rae..well, she pushed through it. First, we’ll talk about the book, then we’ll cover the show. 

Timestamp when we start talking about the show: 1:06:32

Somehow, we’ve been doing this podcast for five whole years. Who gave us the audacity? No one. We took it. We’ll discuss the past year’s bests and favorites, both on and off the podcast. We read some real bangers this year and we’re not sorry in advance for crying during this episode.

This week we read Game Changer and Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid, THEN we watched Heated Rivalry on HBO. We don’t even know what to say here except that it’s amazing. Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams are both brilliant. We’re stuck at the cottage and that’s a problem we never ever want to go away.

Well, we’re a week late because life is hard and the holidays are super busy. But still, we’re excited to talk about Good Spirits by B.K. Borison! We have no idea why this book is generating so many mixed reviews because we absolutely loved it. Harriet, the owner of an antiques shop is visited by Nolan, the Ghost of Christmas Past–except that they can’t seem to find any memories that would lead them to believe she’s in need of divine intervention. It’s funny, it’s emotional, and it made both of us cry. 10000/10 recommend.

Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate! To mark the occasion, we read Deadlines, Donuts & Dreidels by Jennifer Wilck. Jessica has one chance to save her job–she has to write an article about a fireman who saved someone in a museum fire. The catch is that the fireman is her childhood crush–and he’s definitely hiding something.

Happy Spooky Szn!! To celebrate, we read Lights Out by Navessa Allen. Well, Rae read it and Veronica re-read it and have differing opinions. If you haven’t read this book yet, we’re shocked, but if you’re into dark romance, this might be up your alley…or, Aly. See what happens when a trauma nurse with mafia ties (Aly) and an expert hacker (Josh) go on a s*xy journey together and end up killing someone. (Oops.)
