Summary

A few Softcover announcements for today’s episode:

1. It’s our 2 year anniversary!
2. It’s our 100th episode!
3. It’s our final episode…at least for now.

2 years, 2 friends, and too many laughs to count. Although we love the space that we have created on our little corner of the internet, it is time for us to shelve our books and try something new. We don’t know what the future holds, but we are deeply grateful for the community we have built here. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for listening to us the past couple years. You may see Softcover in the future, and you may not. But for now we will just leave it at…byyyyeeeee!

Summary

We know you watched the movie, but have you read the book?! This week on Softcover, we will be recapping The DUFF by Kody Keplinger, but we have one rule:

DO NOT JUDGE THE BOOK BY THE MOVIE.

Do you really know Bianca Piper and Wesley Rush? Do you prefer the 2015 cinematic masterpiece over the 2010 heartfelt novel? You can only be the judge if you have experienced both!

Book: The DUFF by Kody Keplinger

🏒💋 Pucked, Polarizing Weather & Peak 2015 Chaos 💋🏒

This week on Softcover Podcast, we're lacing up our skates and diving headfirst into Pucked by Helena Hunting, a hockey romance that somehow manages to be equal parts hilarious, unhinged, and a time capsule from an era we'd very much like to leave in the past.

Join your favorite book besties as we discuss the wild chemistry between Alex and Violet, the moments that had us laughing out loud on purpose, and the moments that had us laughing for entirely different reasons. Along the way, we take a detour into the absolute fever dream that is American weather as World Cup visitors discover that one side of the country is melting while the other is getting blown into next Tuesday. We also revisit the social culture of 2015, a land of questionable trends, questionable opinions, and an internet landscape that should probably stay buried beneath several layers of digital ice.

In this episode, we chat about:
✨ Pucked by Helena Hunting
✨ Hockey romance chaos and comedy
✨ The best (and most unintentionally hilarious) moments
✨ Why 2015 was truly a different species of year
✨ America's confusing commitment to weather extremes
✨ Friendship, banter, and plenty of side quests

If you love hockey romance books, funny romance novels, book club discussions, spicy romance recommendations, and two friends who can't stay on topic for more than seven minutes at a time, this episode belongs in your queue.

🎧 Ready to get Pucked? Hit play, follow Softcover Podcast, and share this episode with the friend who survived 2015, still quotes Vine, and would absolutely fall for a hockey player despite knowing better. The more listeners we collect, the bigger our locker room gets, and trust us, there's always room on the bench for one more bestie. 🏒📚💖
