Chick Lit Book Club Podcast

Today your favorite foul-mouthed ladies are joined by Piece of Cake authors Mary Hollis Huddleston & Asher Fogle Paul. We got an ARC of Piece of Cake, which comes out June 20. Claire Sommers (the villain from Without a Hitch) is rebuilding her life after basically ripping it apart in the last book. She’s paired with a Brooklyn influencer, Dom, to try to save the magazine she works for, Piece of Cake. Will they accomplish their goal in saving the magazine? Will Claire admit she has feelings for Dom? Also discussed: Rae has Barenaked Ladies tickets she can’t use, Veronica got scammed in a desperate attempt to get Taylor Swift tickets, and really different sex toys. 

Up Next: Tides of Passion by Tracy Sumner (featuring an interview with Ms. Sumner, herself!)

Welcome to part one of Authors You Should Know Month! This is where we choose authors we love who we don’t think are getting enough love. Up first is E.L. Koslo, who we found awhile back through her Dirty Words series. For this installment, we’re reading Feelin’ the Burn, which is available through Inkitt’s Galatea app. In this steamy gym-inspired read, Hannah needs to take control of her health and Coach J is absolutely the one to help her in that endeavor. Don’t miss E.L. herself talking about the book! Special thanks to her for spending some time with us. Also discussed: crystals in phallic shapes, how both Veronica and Rae starting working out again, and how many books we’ve all read this year.

The Ladies are here to discuss the 22-23 Bridgerton offering, Queen Charlotte! Our Page 2 Screen episode at this time can best be described as "Storytime with Veronica" as she recites the tale of Queen Charlotte and King George. What happens when Charlotte doesn't go over that wall? This is her story. While season 2 of Bridgerton left Rae ragin' nic cagin', Veronica, absolutely loved this addition to the saga...so YAYE!

Back to our regular schedule, we’re discussing If Only You by Chloe Liese! This sixth installment of the Bergman Brothers series brings us the second Bergman sister. Ziggy is tired of being seen as the baby who needs to be protected, so she wants to rough up her image a bit. Enter, Seb, her brother’s best friend who’s on a self-destructive streak and about to lose the only thing he loves: Hockey. The two of them enter a fake friendship situation to help them both out: he gets his image smoothed out and she gets hers a little dirty. Also discussed: being an indie author and getting excited about literally anyone reading your book, bug copulation outside the window, and the unveiling of a new segment on the show. Plus! Did you know that Zac Efron has a world travel show?!

The ladies are back with the second installment in the Broken Crown series: Sound of Madness by Maria Luis. In the middle of this trilogy, we follow youngest Godwin brother Damien—a computer genius with a… death wish? But the shining star is Rowena with her iron spine who brings the brutal Damien to his knees. It’s a lengthy book, but it *moves*, dear reader. Also discussed: our new T-shirt design, Veronica’s upcoming book baby, and people who are (unfairly) getting hotter with age.

The ladies are less ranty while talking about The Wallflower Wager by the one and only Tessa Dare. How could they not be? It’s TESSA DARE. Lady Penelope Campion is a borderline-spinster who is running out of options. Her brother wants Penny to leave her Mayfair home and hoard of rescue animals to live with him and his family, but that’s the last thing she wants. Enter: Gabriel Duke, her new next door neighbor who is essentially flipping his house and is banking on a bonafide Lady living next door to maximize the resale value. He offers to help her meet the demands made of Penny for her to keep her house—but of course, the lines get blurry quick. Also discussed: Veronica visits a rage room, stupid double standards, and describing Disney movies in a couple of sentences.

Bonus: you catch us in the middle of a recording snafu, as if we haven’t been doing this for 58 episodes.
