I bring Sephie and Michael to talk about the evolution we've experienced in this second year of Jayce Reads Romance. We've grown. We've learned. We tried new things. We've abandoned those new things when they didn't serve us. I can't wait to see what we figure out next.

This is an episode that is part industry secrets, and mostly my feelings about it. I am not a neutral party when it comes to ARCs. I've been participating in the ARCs world for over a year now, and I've learned a lot.

While the vibes we get from reading are subjective, there are objective criticisms we can make about a book. We talk about what those could look like and how I hold myself accountable when it comes to sharing it.
