My Type? Morally Gray With a Mask
Can I Bring My Book: The podcast where besties meet books… and confess our book crushes.
This week, Amanda and Kat get personal about their literary love lives—aka, book boyfriends (and the occasional book breakup). Amanda swoons over her masked man Josh from Lights Out, while Kat... is book-boyfriend single. For now.
In this episode, we dive into:
-
Their favorite book boyfriends (and why morally gray is irresistible)
-
The “I hurt you to protect you” breakup trope
-
A breakdown of the masked man trope (yes, it’s a real thing and Amanda has research)
-
A semi-rant about slow burn romances that take too long to spice up
-
Whether hockey romance is worth the hype
-
And the charm of fluffy beach reads like Better Than the Movies
