⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: There are mentions and flashbacks throughout of rape and domestic violence, emotional abuse, like some really tough conversations. They are a big part of this book and I will be touching on these topics later in the episode, so please know that before reading this book or listening to this episode.

I think as the years pass, I realize how much of Reputation girlie I am🖤 I wasn’t initially until I went into my Reputation era in real life and then as I went through phases of other eras a little piece of Rep always was still a part of me. When you go through this era you stop caring what other people think and start doing things for you and I think that once you realize that and go through it, you never go back from it. I feel like that’s how I explain Rep as an album for Taylor Swift as well, and that’s also how I’m choosing to explain this book. Full episode breakdown ahead:

First topic of discussion has to be Garrett Graham bc I love my little world of book boyfriends and Garrett certainly made it onto my list🏒Then we get into Hannah and the trauma of her story and what she’s been through, and then we talk about Garrett AND Hannah and their relationship together and how/why I liked them as a couple. Notice I say “liked” not LOVED (I rated this book 3 out of 5 stars). So we’ll talk about it, what I liked, what I disliked. And I actually asked you guys to throw some of your questions at my on instagram so I incorporated some of them into the episode! And lastly, our song featured in today’s episode is from the Reputation album, it is called King of My Heart so I am really excited to talk about the lyrics and the parallels of it in comparison to the Deal by Elle Kennedy.

With this episode, Hannah Grace officially becomes the most talked about author on this podcast and she deserves it! Every time I read one of her books, I’m smiling & blushing the whole time. And I’ve been WAITING for Henry’s book since the day I finished Icebreaker. Henry Turner has a special place in my little heart and this song was made for Henry & Halle💜

Some say boring I say simple; this was my favorite book in the Maple Hills trilogy. We start this episode with the plotline and a character breakdown of both of our love birds, Halle and Henry, bc I think that they are both very real & relatable characters. I talk a lot about the entire Maple Hills series and the cameos of other character in this book. I wouldn’t even call them cameos tbh, Russ & Aurora from Wildfire are recurring characters in Daydream, and we got such an iconic Stassie moment, it’s like these books are their own little world and I love it so much. And then we wrap up with the featured song of this romance that I think fits Halle and Henry so perfectly well, which is You are in Love from 1989 (Taylor’s version). So insert spoilers ahead. 💭🫶🏼

Tis the season for a small town, enemies to lover holiday romance🎄 Despite the mixed reviews that I've seen, this book single-handely put me in the Christmas spirit. It put me in such a perfect mood for this time of year, and yes, it was a 5 star for me. I listened to the official audiobook on Audible, which was so easy to listen to and very entertaining, and the cast really brought the entire book to life so if you're looking for a good audiobook to try, this might just be the one. 🎧

This episode includes a little rating recap on this 5 star Christmas read, and there is a lot about this book I want to talk about: the Grinch references and the Christmas Kringle contest, Cole and Story’s story - their relationship, their past and the SPICE. Absolutely talking about the spice duh you know me (I may never look at a candy cane the same anymore). The episode will wrap up with lyrical deep dive into the featured song that I chose for this book which is I Think He Knows from the Lover album, which is also a fun sexy song that to me... feels like a sister song to Dress from Reputation. A song about that is about this deep attraction you have for someone and the secrecy of the early feelings of love and what will happen when you finally obtain the object of your desire. So that’s what to expect from this episode so thank you for listening & I hope you enjoy! ❤️
