Welcome to Hot & Bothered, a conversation about romance novels and resistance!
Friends Laura Brounstein & Hitha Palepu talk about the hot books they're reading, the watches that are worth it, the issues that are bothering them, and more.

Hot books we shared this week:

• Laura: Degradation by Kyra Alessy and my forever comfort books, The Twilight Saga books by the one and only Stephenie Meyer. #TeamEdward
• Hitha: Ilona Andrews Innkeeper Chronicles and Abby Jimenez's new book, Say You'll Remember Me.

The issues bothering us:

A little mess called “Liberation Day.”

What's making us happy:

• New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and his historic 25+ hour filibuster
• White Lotus, specifically Leslie Bibb’s “C**ty Bob!)
• Mission Impossible & Tom Cruise?
