    Spring Break Reads: RomComs (kind of...)

    Here's some irony, McCall and Mere recorded a RomCom podcast and didn't actually talk about any rom com novels. But, they talked about a plethora of things from what makes a great romcom, to a relationship quiz, the common tropes that best describe their current relationships, and books that are not rom coms but are full of love!  Plus, a heartfelt little things segment topped off with a little Oscars talk. Whew! Please fill-out our communication survey here!  Take the romance quiz & share your results with us! For a full list of books discussed on this episode, please see the show notes!
