Neil and Claire spend some time dipping their toes into popular culture by watching an Amazon Original Movie: The Love Hypothesis, an adaptation of the very popular novel by Ali Hazelwood. Neil and Claire each take some time to hypothesize on what they believe will happen in the movie and how much they will love or hate it. Fake dating! Fake academia! Fake hair! But will there be real love? Listen and find out!

Love is majestic, beautiful, and there's usually a lot of riding involved, which is why today we're doing Horse Girls! For this race-winning episode we read "The Distance to Derby Day: A Bluegrass Romance" by Janice Bayne, and "The Big Book Of Lesbian Horse Stories" by Alisa Surkis and Monica Nolan. Our hosts discuss having a plan, how easy it was to start a new life in New York in the '60s, and how Claire is rewriting our books in her dreams now.

They say the love of your life becomes your best friend, but what if you've already got one of those? Why you date their sibling, of course! Which is why today we're doing Sibling's Best Friend! For this episode we read "Walk on the Wilder Side (Wilder Adventures Book 2)" by Serena Bell and "A Hundred Thousand Words" by Nyrae Dawn. Our hosts (whom you've known your whole life but are now suddenly seeing in a whole new light) discuss Doritos on a boat, Elvis baby noodle man, and the fact that Claire can't hear italics.

Neil and Claire are on their own today, which means they get up to no good. For this unedited episode, we decide to dip our toes into Vertical Drama. Obviously our hosts need more supervision. Today we watch "My Sister Stole the Knight I Loved for 10 Years, So I Married a Dragon Who Treated Me Like a Queen!" So you don't have to. But if you want to here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN88yDU3jAM

Experiencing a good romance can be a lot like social media content: it's aspirational, it's public, and some people are overly concerned about engagement. Which is why today we're doing YouTubers! For this clickbait episode, we read "Chick Magnet" by Emma Barry and "Chef's Kiss: A Novel" by TJ Alexander. Our algorithm-driven hosts discuss chicken vents, French women lurking in the shadows with oysters, and this time try renaming a book instead of rewriting it.

Not many people know this, but love and romance were invented in Paris in 1782 by an enterprising young woman named Marie Amour. To celebrate all her accomplishments, today we're doing Paris! For this very chic episode we read "The Chocolate Thief (Amour et Chocolat Book 1)" by Laura Florand, and "Ensnared Hearts (Mistress)" by Anna Stone. Our cosmopolitan hosts discuss being able the tell the difference between an apple and a fish, wild audio book reader choices, and they break a record for how many times they rewrite the same book!

Our shaken hosts discuss villainous drama teachers, how sexy parkour is, and Neil gets a preview of the robot uprising.

There's a reason why sex is the oldest profession, and we here at FMKlit are all for it! Which is why today we're doing Sex Workers! Today we read "Raven's Return: A SciFi Alien Romance (Icehome Book 12)" by Ruby Dixon, and "You, Me, U.S." by Brigitte Buatista.

Some people want love to be a laugh a minute. Others want it to be malleable like a balloon. And others think love is a monster lying in wait in a sewer to devour them. And we're celebrating all of those today with Clowns! For this circus of an episode we read "Clause, Clown & Ferret" by Meghan Amy, and "Stop Me If You've Heard This One: A Novel" by Kristen Arnett. Our buffoonish hosts discuss self-sabotage, moms with kinks, and at one point they get so worked up that they had to pause recording for a second.
