This week we welcome Hopeless Romantic newbie Damaris Treasure as we unpack Celine Song's   'Materialists'  which is currently in cinemas. 

We explore themes of love, security, and the complex decisions we make in relationships.  This is less of a review, and more of a rumination on some of the confronting questions this film poses, as well as the way this film was (perhaps unfairly, but intentionally) market as a rom-com.  Then of course there's some very shallow reflections (from me) on the appeal of Pedro Pascal.  

Love you, more than a friend x

'Materialists' with Damaris Treasure

As always...three great reccos for your weekend romance fix!  I've decided to start including some romance CLASSICS in the mix, which means this week you're getting:
The best (according to me) Jane Austen novel, Persuasion
NYT Beststeller Alex Aster's latest rom-com
'Downton Abbey' but make it New York in the 1880's...

Love you, more than a friend x

Friday Quickie...Persuasion / Summer in the City / The Guilded Age

With a lazy 22 published novels under her belt, Rachael Johns knows a thing or two about writing fiction for women.  It was SUCH a pleasure to have her on this week to talk about the trials and tribulations of establishing herself as a working author, and what that struggle looked like before she was able to finally break through. This is a must-listen for anyone who's dreamed of getting published!

We'll also discuss her latest rom-com The Bad Bridesmaid which I absolutely devoured. 

Rachael has a new fan in me, and I know you'll fall in love with her too :) 

Love you, more than a friend x
