This week’s episode is a deep dive into the “billionaire romance” subgenre, featuring Monster Lover Vee, Abigail’s sincerest apologies, and a contentious debate over what constitutes currency for our intrepid park rangers. Listen y’all, Abigail did her best with this one. She really, really did, but sometimes a subgenre defeats even the most stalwart of readers. Sorry in advance.
