Hosts Maggie and Tashima review Geneva Rose’s thriller The Perfect Marriage, discuss its near-4-star Goodreads rating, and summarize the plot: Sarah, a high-powered lawyer, and her husband Adam, a struggling writer, become entangled when Adam is accused of killing his mistress at their lake house.

The hosts react to the book’s blindsiding twist—that Sarah orchestrated and manipulated evidence—debate whether her revenge and the justice system’s failings are justified, and tease the sequel, The Perfect Divorce.

A 23-year-old Lily Bloom moves to Boston to start fresh after growing up watching her father abuse her mother, determined not to repeat that cycle. She opens a floral shop and falls for Ryle Kincaid, a charming neurosurgeon whose violent temper slowly emerges, echoing the abuse from her past. As their relationship worsens, Lily reconnects with her first love, Atlas, now a successful chef, whose presence highlights the contrast between real safety and toxic passion. After Ryle seriously assaults her and she discovers she is pregnant, Lily realizes love is not enough to excuse abuse and decides to leave him to protect herself and her baby. She chooses to co-parent with Ryle but ends their marriage, telling her daughter “it ends with us,” breaking the generational cycle of violence and leaving the door open to a healthier future with Atlas.

"Stolen Tongues" by Felix Blackwell is a horror novel by Felix Blackwell, originally published as a viral series titled “My Romantic Cabin Getaway” on the NoSleep subreddit, which later gained popularity as a self-published book in the indie horror community. The story centers on Felix and his fiancée Faye, who travel to a secluded mountain cabin to celebrate their engagement, only to be tormented by inexplicable voices, unsettling noises, and supernatural phenomena that focus particularly on Faye's sleep disorder.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35524932-stolen-tongues

Felix Blackwell first posted the story in the NoSleep community as a series of entries inspired by his fiancée’s real-life sleep disorder. The original thread quickly amassed a following for its blend of supernatural horror and psychological suspense, characterized by a slow build of dread and ambiguous threats lurking just outside the cabin. The story’s popularity led to its expansion and eventual release as a full-length novel and even inspired an upcoming feature film adaptation.https://thewilsonbillboard.com/2025/04/from-forums-to-publishing-a-chilling-internet-horror-story/

Imagine a ticking clock, not a regular day, but your very last. Would you spend it frantically checking off a bucket list, or savoring every mundane moment you usually rush past?

They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera is a young adult contemporary novel set in a near-future version of New York City where an organization called Death-Cast can predict when people are going to die and notifies them by phone on the day of their death. The story follows two teenage boys — Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio — who both receive a call informing them that they will die within the next 24 hours.​https://vickywhoreads.wordpress.com/2017/09/03/drc-they-both-die-at-the-end-by-adam-silvera/

The novel explores mortality, love, friendship, and the value of living authentically despite life's unavoidable end. With alternating points of view, Silvera delivers an emotionally charged narrative that celebrates human connection and the urgency of embracing life while it lasts. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33385229-they-both-die-at-the-end
