From swoon-worthy moments to cringe-worthy clichés, we dissect the tropes, tea, and taboos of Romancelandia, BookTok, and beyond. No trope is off-limits as we explore why we love, hate, and love to hate the stories that captivate us. Tune in for all the tea on love, lust, and everything in between!

I love the way it feels to be a hater
Something so sweet about thinking that I'm better
Just to wake up every morning
Lay in bed and somehow never, ever rise to the occasion
Or even hold up under pressure
But we all know that it doesn't even matter
If I waste away and no one thinks I'm clever
Just as long I've got my ego
And it tells me I'm superior
I could probably go a lifetime
...
