Spring Break Reads: RomComs (kind of...) Mar 12, 2024

Show notes

Here's some irony, McCall and Mere recorded a RomCom podcast and didn't actually talk about any rom com novels. But, they talked about a plethora of things from what makes a great romcom, to a relationship quiz, the common tropes that best describe their current relationships, and books that are not rom coms but are full of love!

Plus, a heartfelt little things segment topped off with a little Oscars talk. Whew!

Please fill-out our communication survey here!

Take the romance quiz & share your results with us!

For a full list of books discussed on this episode, please see the show notes!
