By the Book: Books that Make Us Feel in Love

Pause

For our Valentine’s Day episode, we leave cynicism at the door and dive unabashedly into a discussion on books that replicated, for us, the feeling of being in love. Expect everything from young adult to literary fiction, as we try to break down how the written word makes you fall in love. And because we’re contrary like that, we wrap things up with a discussion on books that expose the ugly side of being in love.
