It's so painful yet so beautiful. These are our favourite sweet & sour romances- romances that we absolutely adore, but maybe wouldn't be totally accepted in real life (Wait, she lied about her age, and they did WHAT??) WE also discuss what makes a relationship sweet & sour? What are the different ways they could be? Also, pet peeves that make our skin crawl- euhh.

Sorry for some of the audio this episode! It's a little rough, feel free to stop listening if it bothers you.Perhaps a controversial topic, series continued by other authors never fails to interest us. While usually bad, we're here today to dig up the truth about them, while also talking about a few series we've read who use ghostwriters or were finished by others.

This episode was a lot of work, but a lot of fun!
