The TDF team is joined by Kristy C. Johnson to review, GRIN & BEARD IT by Penny Reid, through a lens of fatphobia in romance. We discuss the realistic way to get into the back of a truck, all the reasons why papaya doesn’t belong in romance, and donuts. A f*ck ton of donuts.

Get ready for a debate about romance genre conventions! Cat & Beatrix explore what a convention is, which ones are popular, why they exist within fiction and if they can be broken. We make some “strong statements” and take sides about what we’d like to see in romance going forwards.

*TW: This episode has discussions around the use of SA in two books

Cat & Bea talk about all things writerly! From the compulsion to write, productivity, writing communities and updates on our WIPs + more. It’s all about what makes us tick as writers in this episode. Hint: It’s not wreath making ;)

It’s Cat & Beatrix's first book review! We discuss the infamous, inspirational, erotica romance: PRIEST by Sierra Simone. It might be a short episode, but it packs a punch just like Tyler Bell ;)
