Sometimes you just gotta get away, and that’s what Kris and Tara did during their unannounced break (sorry about that). But they’re back now, and ready to report on where they’ve been, what they’ve done and, perhaps most importantly, what they recommend.

Also, Tara cheats this week. Instead of one official recommendation (which is the entire point of this podcast) Tara comes back from vacation with two. Buckle up, folks. Chaos reigns!

Official Recommendations

From Kris: The Four Seasons (Netflix)

Kris’s official recommendation this week is the Netflix series The Four Seasons. The show revolves around three couples who vacation together four times a year (each season) and what happens when one of the couples breaks up. Kris says this has it all, the funny moments and the sad, and once she started, she couldn’t put it down.

From Tara: The Princess Match by Clare Lydon

Tara’s first recommendation this week is The Princess Match by Clare Lydon. It’s a slow burn(ish), high romantic tension story between an out-and-proud athlete and an in-the-closet princess who wants to risk it all for her first chance at true happiness. Tara loved this so much she read it twice and she says it's her favourite of Lydon's books.

From Tara: Discovering Nicola by Clare Ashton

Tara’s second recommendation this week is Discovering Nicola by Clare Ashton, an enemies-to-lovers, ice queen romance, with two women in their 50s embracing a same-sex relationship for the first time. Tara said the chemistry between the leads is incredible and this book ruined her in the best way. Go get it!
