Romcoms, tropes, and a little Bridgerton version of f***, marry, or kill. Go down memory lane with us as we chat about romcoms and the uptick in romance novels, trope types, and our favorite....the Bridgerton brothers.

As we cover chapters 14-20 we learn a bit more about Benji and a lot more about Florence's family and family dynamics. In case you didn't get it from this episodes title, we also cover banned books and our woman of the week, Dolly Parton.
