Chick Lit Book Club Podcast

To round out comfort reads month, we read Veronica’s pick: The Deal by Elle Kennedy. Thanks to Prime’s hit series Off Campus, we’re seeing a well-deserved resurgence of this book, and we’re totally stoked to talk about it. Hockey star Garrett Graham has a problem: he’s failing Ethics, which was supposed to be an easy class to round out his course load. Hannah Wells is sailing through class, and when Garrett begs her to tutor him, she shoots him down real fast. But when he finds out she has a crush on the star quarterback, he proposes a deal: he’ll help her land her crush via classic fake dating if she tutors him. One thing leads to another, and Hannah proposes her own deal. And suddenly, the fake-dating situation doesn’t feel so fake anymore.SOS: Taken by the Twister by Rebecca Massey and Adelyne GravesUp Next: Face Off by Chelsea CurtoWhat We’re Reading:Rules for the Summer by Meghan Quinn (audio)Knot That High by Kara KaminskiThe Differences Between Us by Rachel HigginsonFollow us on SpotifyWebsite: www.chicklitbookclubpodcast.comMerch: https://chicklitbookclubpodcast.threadless.com/TikTok: ChickLitBookClubInstagram and Threads: ChickLitBookClubPodcastPinterest: ChickLitBookClubPodcastBlueSky:@clbcpodcast.bsky.socialYoutube: @ChickLitBookClubEmail: [email protected]

We pulled an audible and chose to do comfort reads for the month of August. Rae chose The Opposite of You by Rachel Higginson, an enemies-to-lovers story about two chefs competing (or not) from across a parking lot. Vera has recently opened a food truck, aptly named Foodie, while trying to get back on her feet following a horrible breakup. Killian is the executive chef at swanky upscale restaurant, Lilou, right across the street. Can they put down the knives and call a truce?SOS: Phil and The File Cabinet by Katy IpockUp Next: The Deal by Elle KennedyWhat We’re Reading:Knot a Highland Romance by Sarah BlueHer Orc Healer by Etta WildFollow us on SpotifyWebsite: www.chicklitbookclubpodcast.comMerch: https://chicklitbookclubpodcast.threadless.com/TikTok: ChickLitBookClubInstagram and Threads: ChickLitBookClubPodcastPinterest: ChickLitBookClubPodcastBlueSky:@clbcpodcast.bsky.socialYoutube: @ChickLitBookClubEmail: [email protected]

We’ve headed out west for this episode, covering West of Forever by Corinne Michaels. Michaels is a new-to-us author, even though she’s been on our radar for years and is quite prolific. This is a Hatfields-McCoys/Romeo and Juliet situation with two rival ranching families. The only thing is, there’s a heck of a lot of chemistry between the only sister in a family of four, Lark Gatlin, and single dad/widower Tristan Stone. And well…what the families don’t know won’t hurt them. Or do the families know?SOS: Howls and Home Runs by Biblio BarbieUp Next: Save a Horse, Ride a Cowman by Emily AntoinetteWhat We’re Reading:Starbound by Adrien BlueThe Orc’s Heart by Etta WildMistakes Were Made by Lucy ScoreFollow us on SpotifyWebsite: www.chicklitbookclubpodcast.comMerch: https://chicklitbookclubpodcast.threadless.com/TikTok: ChickLitBookClubInstagram and Threads: ChickLitBookClubPodcastPinterest: ChickLitBookClubPodcastBlueSky:@clbcpodcast.bsky.socialYoutube: @ChickLitBookClubEmail: [email protected]

We’re celebrating the World Cup *one more time* with Hard to Hold by K. Bromberg. When Liverpool star Rush McKenzie becomes embroiled in scandal, his agent advises him to retreat to L.A. while the heat dies down. Lennox Kincaid is fresh off a humiliating encounter at a professional conference and is running from her own demons. It’s only fitting that these two run smack dab into each other. What’s the harm in having some temporary fun? Certainly not the fact that they’re working together.SOS: Hosed by Nicole ParkerUp Next: West of Forever by Corinne MichaelsWhat We’re Reading:Upgraded by Abby MillsapsWorking for the Widow by J.L.
