Chick Lit Book Club Podcast

It’s spooky season, bishes! We’re doing two spook-ish books this year and the first one is Bad Luck Charm by Julie Johnson. When an animal sacrifice is left outside her beloved aunt’s shop in Salem, Massachusetts, Gwendolyn Goode is expectedly shocked. To add insult to injury, her childhood crush—a man she now hates—has been brought in to consult in the ensuing investigation. Can Graham Graves protect her against her will? Or will dark forces get to Gwen first? Also discussed: these delicious pumpkin waffles (which Veronica may have forgotten to actually mention, but they’re delicious), the Morning Owl Coffee Bar, and spooky season!

The final ARC before a mini-break is The Love Rematch by Kay Marie! If your mom went on national television and begged America to find you a boyfriend, would you agree to be on the Bachelor-style show that calls a couple of days later? Well, Emily reluctantly agrees—not to find a husband, but to promote her homemade jewelry line. The only snag in her plan is that one of the field producers is none other than the man who epically ghosted her seven years ago. It’s fine—she can dress for revenge. What could possibly go wrong? Also discussed: 90s nostalgia, including fashion that no one wants back and the beginnings of reality television.

The ARC streak continues with Cleat Cute by Meryl Wilsner. Professional soccer rookie Phoebe Matthews has been drafted to play for the New Orleans Krewe with hopes for a callup to the national team. The good news? She’ll get to play with her idol, Grace Henderson. The bad news? Grace is gorgeous and talented and maybe a little grumpy. Is that bad news though? Seems like Grace is into Phoebe, too. Is teammates with benefits a thing? Also discussed: sentient inanimate object erotica, double dragon/dog/demon dongs, and other hot soccer romances.

On this episode we discuss the new release from Lauren Morrill, Sister of the Bride, a friends to lovers, Father of the Bride-inspired romcom. This was an ARC from NetGalley and releases September 12th. When 26-year-old workaholic restaurateur, Pippin, discovers that her twin sister is getting married to a practical stranger and her beloved home/business is going to be put on the market, she struggles to make sense of what life is in store for her. With the help of her newly relocated best friend Toby (who she does NOT have sexy feelings for, thank you very much), she has five months to pull off a wedding, sell her business, and keep herself from not spiraling. Seems easy… Also discussed, how long is TOO long, we skip the f— right over bright spots, and pimp our most recent commentary on Freevee’s Puppy Love.

We delve into the wonderful world of Jane Austen reenactments with Robyn Gynne’s, The Worst Darcy. Set in a small tourist town named Austen, the local inhabitants spend one month a year celebrating all things Jane A. This year, being the pinnacle of pieces, Pride and Prejudice, newly relocated town librarian and “Keaton’s mom,” Vivian, feels that this is her opportunity to make a name for herself in the community by playing Lizzy. Metalhead and all around town ‘bad boy,’ Brodie Bishop, is strong-armed into being her Darcy. When opposites attract, will these two deny the chemistry off stage, or will Vivian prove to be truly an “obstinate, headstrong girl” and choose to take a chance? Also discussed: Red, White, and Royal Blue, the corn song (how did Rae not know about it?), and an amazing Jane Austen festival in Bath.

Special thanks to all Ohio voters who voted in the August 8 special election!

We’re wrapping up Scoresley Month(and-a-half) where we read books by Claire Kingsley and Lucy Score! Our final selection is Whiskey Chaser, co-written by both these queens.

Scarlet is grieving the death of her father and attempting to care for her older siblings. Sparks fly when these two broken hearts find each other. Also discussed, Issue 1 in Ohio (please vote on August 8!), how big is too big, and reuniting with friends.

Gannon co-stars in a home renovation show that Paige works on as a field producer. He’s explosive, she’s calm. He’s boisterous, she’s reserved.

Also discussed: Issue 1 in Ohio (please vote on August 8!), the best kinds of donuts, and of course, the Barbie movie.

Like most of Tracy’s books, this is muy caliente! We also discussed her latest release, Kiss the Rake Hello (Wicked Widows League #13) which is an older heroine, enemies to lovers, sorta second chance in which the hero gets a chance with the girl he’s been in love with all his life. Also, our new segment gets a tantalizing new name, Rae crows about her new Pride Converse shoes, find @darquepath on TikTok, the Books that Made Us, and we’re trying to get healthy!
