We've got a Substack publication now! On the last day of the month, we share recommendations for two things we reckon you should read/watch/listen to. The beauty of Substack is you can revisit all our old editions and comment on our episode updates to share your thoughts. Come say hi!
Mini book club: Reputation by Lex Croucher
Mean Girls meets Bridgerton in this Regency-era romance. Add in a queer focus and we're absolutely here for it. Reputation is a delightful read, perfect for a holiday or devouring over a weekend. We can't wait to read Lex's other romance novels.
In this interview, we chat about:
- Hera's job as a comment moderator at a large news publication
- Exploring Hera's experience as a bi woman in her first straight-passing relationship
- Hera and her single dad's relationship (and why it's the best)
- Madeleine's unique journey to publication
- International cover (and name) changes
- The reception from readers and what that means to Madeleine
