“As a former twelve year old reading flea market romance books this is hands down my favorite of the romance book podcast. I am tickled every time I see a familiar title in the feed and enjoy looking at my old favs with adult eyes.”

“Hey! I’m as serious… or possibly slightly more than the next girl. But I too read books that were exciting, confusing and embarrassing from my local library. Those romance novels & etc. were … they were … Anyway let’s face it - there is A LOT to unpack here. Why not listen to these...”Read full review »

“I haven’t read many of the books this crew read and review, but the ones I have, I’ve enjoyed their analysis. The Thorn Birds is a book that I couldn’t finish reading due to the grooming and general misery, so I enjoyed hearing the character and plot discussion and finding out what happened in...”Read full review »

“Funny and enthusiastic hosts with a fun idea: read trashy lit add alcohol and see what happens. Despite some questionable books, the podcast is great. If you’re a fan of book clubs subscribe now!”

“Okay, now that I’ve warned you, I have to say this is one of the funniest and weirdest podcasts I have had the joy of listening to. The cohosts are whip-smart, a little (a lot) tipsy, and have nary a filter between them. Escapism at its finest.”

“If you like old school romance novels and wine and southern accents, this is your jam! Even if you don’t like those things, you’ll LOL listening to this podcast. While the hosts’ commentary is informed and hilarious, it’s also contextualized and socially aware. If it dials up in intensity and...”Read full review »

“Hilarious and smart discussions about the older romance books that we all somehow found and read, with wine and recurring ratings that always make me smile. Greatly appreciate them bringing forward authors I wasn’t as familiar with and helping me to find more diversity in my reading.”

“Sheer joy, especially on a dark and quar-y night. The hosts are somehow both radically different and perfectly suited to each other. Like sitting at the dinner table after everyone’s had too much, listening to two very clever, (lightly?) horny friends.”

“I am standing here beside myself, flabbergasted as I read other reviews. They are grabbing erratically without any effort at all to stick to a topic. The content yawns and meanders like a sailboat without a butter.”

“Grew up on these trashy novels and they laugh at them while respecting the source. These stories are so implausible but dang are they not entertaining. I remember my mom giving me a copy of The Other Side of Midnight way back in the day. Wow!!!! Sex and more sex. No wonder everyone in the 70s...”Read full review »

“Sarah and Courtney are fantastic hosts (with fantastic accents!!). Love the convos about consent and sex positive themes incorporated in their discussion of these romance novels! And if you're going to read trashy novels, you might as well get trashed while talking about them! So much fun!”Read full review »
