Softcover

Welcome back from our Softcover hiatus! We missed you so much, and we can't wait to dive into part 2 of Deep End by Ali Hazelwood! This week is all things Penelope Ross. After encouraging her best friend, Scarlett, to sleep with her ex, Lukas, Penelope realizes she's not as okay with their relationship as she thought she was. Jealousy, hurt feelings, and scheming ensue as we ask ourselves: Does Penelope even like Scarlett? Is she still in love with Lukas? Is Penelope really a "pick me", or is there a good friend underneath it all? That's up for you to decide with us!

Splish, splash, we’re diving straight into Ali Hazelwood’s Deep End! 🌊✨

This week on Softcover Podcast, your two book besties are swimming through the first half of Ali Hazelwood’s Deep End, and the water is full of feels. One of us relives her short-lived (and very ungraceful) attempt at diving, we cheer for a female main character who is fierce, whole, and magnetic all on her own, and we get positively tangled up in the electric chemistry of Lukas and Scarlett. 💕

Expect giggles, swoons, and maybe a little splash of chaos along the way.

👉 So grab your floaties and join us in the deep end—hit play, follow the podcast, and share this episode with your fellow bookworms. The more, the merrier in our book club bubble! ✨📚

Sink your teeth into this week’s episode of Softcover Podcast! Your favorite bookish besties are diving fang-first into Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead—a YA classic filled with drama, danger, and… undead creatures that are definitely not giving “sexy immortal boyfriend” vibes.

We chat about Rachel’s surprising origin story of her love for Baltic boys, our obsession with strong-willed female main characters (because weak heroines? never), and why the Strigoi are the least crush-worthy monsters to ever grace a page. It’s all book banter, laughs, and a little chaos—just the way we like it.

✨ If you’re into books, besties, and a side of unhinged commentary, you’ll want to press play. Don’t forget to listen, follow, and share this episode with your fellow book lovers so they can join the Softcover squad too!

Twilight... but make it gender-swapped.

It’s your favorite day of the week gals, guys and vampiric pals!
This week on Softcover Podcast, your two favorite bookish besties are diving headfirst into Life and Death by Stephenie Meyer—a bold (???) reimagining of the early 2000s classic Twilight, where every character is swapped... except two. Because of course. 🙃

We’re breaking down the chaotic renaming choices (seriously—Edythe??), why gender-swapping didn’t exactly solve the stereotype problem, and who we’d cast if this got the cinematic treatment it maybe doesn’t deserve. Spoiler: it would be camp.

Expect giggles, side-eyes, and more sass than a cafeteria full of Cullens at lunchtime.

✨ Press play if you love messy reboots, bad vampire names, and two unfiltered friends with strong opinions.
💬 Don’t forget to follow, rate, and share this episode with your fellow Twilight stans and hate-listeners alike.
📲 New episodes drop weekly—because bookworms deserve hot takes too.

Happy hump day babes, we’re throwing it back today!  No, not in a circle but all the way back to 2008.

This week on Softcover, your favorite bookish besties are sinking our teeth into the middle school fever dream that started it all: ✨Twilight✨ by Stephenie Meyer. Team Edward? Team Jacob? We’re team why not both.  

We’re unpacking the grumpy/grumpy energy between Bella and Edward (maybe one of them could’ve tried smiling?), swooning over Charlie’s ultimate dad (Daddy 😉) vibes, and reimagining this saga as a spicy little why choose moment that could've saved us all the drama.

Whether you still sparkle for Twilight or you’ve left Forks behind, this episode is a deliciously nostalgic, slightly unhinged love letter to the vampire YA era that shaped us (and ruined our standards for men).

🖤 Hit play, follow Softcover for more chaotic book talk, and don’t forget to share with your fellow Twilight survivors. Because real besties roast Bella together.

Start your engines, babes  — this episode is a checkered flag fever dream. We’re diving headfirst into Throttled by Lauren Asher, where the men are emotionally unavailable, the women are giving sunshine with a cult following, and the tension is hotter than an overheated engine in Monaco.

We’re talking grumpy x sunshine perfection, F1 drama we did not sign up for (but are now fully obsessed with), and spicy scenes that had us questioning if this was a romance novel or a qualifying round for the spice Olympics. Also: who knew love could cross borders and pit lanes?From pit stops to plot twists, we’re taking you on a wild, international ride filled with spice, swoon, and maybe a few screeches.

💋 It’s giving red flag, green light, and everything in between.

So buckle up, hit play, and join us as we talk racing, romance, and why Noah is our new emotionally repressed book boyfriend of the week.

🎧 Listen now, follow Softcover for your weekly dose of chaotic book chat, and share this episode with your favorite bookworm (or your F1-obsessed crush).
