Description

This week, Meg and Nikki play a wacky round of Romance Would You Rather, where the questions are unhinged, the stakes are fictional, and the answers reveal way too much about their taste in book boyfriends. It's trope vs. trope, kink vs. kink, and sometimes just pure chaos (would you rather walk in on a shifter in animal form… or not know your partner was a vampire until you’re mid-bite?).Listen in for:* Secret pining vs. public declarations* a great debate over mediocre or high quality stories* Our preferences on Nick Miller or Ben Wyatt * Nikki’s firm boundaries on Christian Grey-eque red flags* the famous 80’s romance tropes that we would dateBooks & Media We Mention:* Games We Play series by D.J. Jamison* House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski* Romeo and Juliet (brief mention as not a romance)* Nicholas Sparks books (several, not specific)* A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J.
