Welcome back to Softcover Podcast—the place where two besties spiral (lovingly) over books, life choices, and characters who desperately need therapy. This week, we’re diving into The Good Girl Effect by Sara Cate, and let’s just say… being “good” has never looked so deliciously complicated.

In this episode, we unpack why we’re fully booked and busy stanning a liberated woman who knows what she wants (and isn’t afraid to take it), why Jack might benefit from a standing weekly therapy appointment, and whether being a “good girl” is actually a trap… or just a rebrand waiting to happen. Spoiler: if being a little bad is wrong, we’re not interested in being right.

Expect spicy takes, chaotic commentary, and a deep appreciation for emotional growth… ideally with a licensed professional involved.

If you love romance books with liberated heroines, complicated men, and just enough self-reflection to keep things interesting, this episode is your next obsession.
Go ahead—be a little bad. Hit play, follow the pod, and share this episode with your fellow “good girls” (or your morally gray besties). We promise it’s the kind of influence you won’t regret.

Welcome back to Softcover Podcast—the place where two besties spill the tea on books, life, and everything in between 📚✨

This week, we’re diving into Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer, where morally gray men clock in, chaos is basically a job requirement, and suddenly… committing crimes feels a little ✨corporate✨. We chat about our love for a good Robin Hood-style rebellion, why Rachel has very specific requirements when it comes to a slow burn (and yes, patience has its limits), and the age-old question: is it actually wrong to live in the gray… or just more fun?

Expect villainous charm, questionable ethics, workplace banter that would get HR involved immediately, and the kind of tension that has us screaming into the void.

So whether you're here for the romance, the rebellion, or just to justify your attraction to fictional men with red flags… you’re in the right place.

💋 Press play, fall a little bit in love with the villain, and join the chaos.

Book: Storm of Secrets and Sorrow by Melissa K. Roehrich

✨Two shadows, one storm, and a whole lot of feelings✨

This week on Softcover Podcast, your favorite bookish besties dive into Part One of Storm of Shadow and Sorrow by Melissa K. Roehrich—and let’s just say… things are already brewing darker than your third cup of coffee ☕🌩️

We’re unpacking why sometimes two is absolutely better than one (yes, we’re looking directly at you, Theon, Luka, and that very intriguing source mark 👀), while also continuing our long-standing vendetta against Theon’s dad—because honestly, his role in the corruption of Devram? Straight to jail. No trial.

Plus, we get into a slightly chaotic, definitely passionate debate about what actually qualifies as romantasy. Is it vibes? Is it spice? Is it emotional damage wrapped in magic? The jury is still out, but we have thoughts… many thoughts.

Expect laughs, a little rage, a lot of swooning, and the kind of commentary that makes you want to immediately text your group chat.

💫 If you love fantasy worlds, messy characters, and hot takes with heart—this episode is calling your name.

🎧 Hit play, fall into the storm with us, and don’t forget to follow, rate, and share Softcover Podcast with your fellow book lovers. Because every good story deserves a little chaos… and a lot more listeners 😉
