from The Bookmark Diaries · host Jellypod

A close look at how Lynn Painter’s YA rom-com blends banter, enemies-to-lovers chemistry, and a love of movie tropes with a deeper story about grief, memory, and healing. The episode explores why Liz’s rom-com obsession matters and how the book turns a fake-dating-style scheme into something unexpectedly heartfelt.
