In this very special Halloween edition of Lose the Plot, Carla and Emily are thirsting, gasping, and questioning werewolves' hygiene standards after reading Muscles and Monsters by Ashley Bennett - the monster romance that’s 95% abs, 5% plot, and 100% emotional support doughnut holes.

Join us as we unpack the tale of Tegan, the anxious baker who falls for Atlas, a literal beast of a man with more muscle than sense and an appendage bigger than his calves. We discuss the logistics of monster romance (because someone has to), debate whether Atla's ex was actually that bad, and attempt to calculate how many cakes it would take to feed this man.
