Plot Twist, Please

In this episode of Plot Twist Please, we’re diving into the internet’s obsession with fictional men and asking the important question: have book boyfriends completely ruined our standards for real men? 💘📚 From “touch her and die” MMCs to husbands who can’t find the ketchup directly in front of them, we compare BookTok fantasy men to real-life husband behaviour through chaotic games, debates, Reddit horror stories, and way too much emotional investment in fictional characters.

 ✨ Today’s cocktail: Mimosas
 🎧 Tune in, sip with us, and remember — keep your glass, your bookshelf, and your TBR full.

Kindle books were supposed to be the affordable alternative to physical books… so why are we suddenly paying hardcover prices for digital files we don’t even technically own?? 

Are Kindle prices officially out of control… and is this the beginning of the end for e-reading as we know it?

This week on Plot Twist Please, we’re calling out the books that BookTok SWEARS are amazing… and asking the real question: are they actually good… or just popular?

We each brought our picks for overhyped and underhyped reads and let’s just say… we did NOT agree. From viral fantasy favourites to dark romance obsessions, nothing was safe. 

⚠️ Full spoiler warning — these are DNF stories!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the internet’s latest book drama… 👀📚

BookTok has been going OFF about Just Friends by Haley Pham... from the word choices, to the writing style, to the characters AND we had to sit down and talk about it. So we’re sharing our honest thoughts, reacting to some of the most talked-about quotes, and asking the bigger question:

Is the criticism actually fair… or is the internet being too harsh?

📚 Spoiler alert: we’re covering the whole book!
