Ready to enter the unhinged corners of our imaginations? 📚✨

In this episode of Softcover Podcast, your two besties toss the rulebook out the window and read our own fan fiction. Yes. We said what we said.

Christal delivers a heart-warming, hysterical New Girl fan fic featuring Winston and Ferguson that somehow manages to be cozy, chaotic, and emotionally devastating… with a plot twist you absolutely will not see coming. Rachel counters with her feral, between-classes fan fiction era, co-written with a friend who matched her weird energy beat for beat. Think nostalgia, unfiltered creativity, and stories that blur the line between “why did we write this?” and “why is this kind of brilliant?”

This episode is a love letter to creativity without shame, fandom without rules, and the kind of writing that happens when you’re having fun and absolutely no one is supervising. Expect laughter, secondhand embarrassment, heartfelt moments, and at least one point where you whisper, “What did I just listen to?”

Welcome to Tourist Season by Brynne Weaver, where revenge is hot, security is sexy, and gardening tools are absolutely not for gardening.

This week on Softcover Podcast, your favorite bookish besties dive into Tourist Season and proudly declare: we stand behind Harper and Nolan. Period. End of discussion. Their mission? Flawless. Their chemistry? Criminal. Their methods? Between them and the soil.

We gush over morally gray soulmates, debate what we would name our own hypothetical tools of chaos, and bow down to Brynne Weaver, certified concent queen and provider of unhinged excellence. Expect flirty banter, spicy takes, and the kind of laughter that makes you question your digital footprint.

If you like your romance dark, your leads feral, and your book chats unfiltered, this episode is about to be your entire personality.
