Anna Fox and Louisa Rorschach are two writers in their early 30s who just cannot get their dating lives in order. In preparation for when romance is real again (#ThanksPandemic), they turn to a leader in the field for help -- number one best selling author Danielle Steel. Combining literary review, social commentary, dating advice, and astrology, Anna and Louisa discuss Steel’s romance novels with cultured wit and Millennial irreverence. Season One: Now and Forever (1978). "Although Jessica and Ian Clarke have been married seven years, they insist the thrill and excitement haven’t dimmed. At Jessica’s urging, Ian has quit his advertising job to become a struggling writer, and she supports him with her successful San Francisco boutique. Ian’s financial dependence on Jessica upsets him more than he admits, and in a moment of bored malaise, Ian’s first casual indiscretion will create a nightmare that threatens everything Jessica and Ian have carefully built. What he does changes their lives, and them, perhaps forever, as they struggle to pay the price of his foolhardy affair." [Music Credit: "Stringed Disco" by Kevin McLeod (incompetech.com).
