Like listening to the two book friends I wish I had!

Love this podcast so much that it pushed me to write my first podcast review!

I recently got into the ACOTAR series thanks to you both and have LOVED delving into your analysis of each of the books x

Josh F C ,

The best podcast

Hi guys absolutely love the podcast! Currently working my way through each episode! ACOTAR got me back into reading books and allowed me to find my favourite genre. Your podcast made me fall back in love with literary analysis and has inspired me to start writing again! Proud to be one of your 5% males who listen to the pod, (straight too!🤣). Keep up the good work guys!

Amy Mc x ,

My commute has got a lot more exciting!

I’m loving this podcast so much.
As an English Lit graduate, and an avid reader of the whole ACOTAR series, this is the perfect podcast!
Loving the literary insights and delving into the books again. Those ‘Amy chef kiss’ moments are the best… when I’m like ‘ohhhhhhh! Clever clever Sarah J Maas’. It’s so great to listen to a critical analysis of the books… reminds me of being back at university!
