Ep 5: Exes and O's (and my new favorite friends to lovers book)

Thanks for tuning into this week's episode, a deep dive into Exes and O's by Amy Lea with my friend, Lucia from Reading Materials Podcast! We had so much fun reading this book! It was full of Bookish interwebs references, perfect banter, a tattooed firefighter, and my favorite trope!
