  5. Our Perfect Storm: Love, Longing & a Whale-Sized Detour

    Episode 4

    Show notes

    Dana and Cori dive into Our Perfect Storm by Carley Fortune—a friends-to-lovers romance about heartbreak, missed timing, and the complicated line between friendship and something more.

    After Frankie’s wedding is unexpectedly called off, her lifelong best friend George joins her on the honeymoon that was already planned. Against the gorgeous backdrop of Tofino, old feelings surface, long-held secrets unravel, and their supposedly platonic friendship begins to look very different.

    Dana and Cori debate whether all that longing felt romantic or frustrating, discuss the book’s surprisingly steamy turn, and try to make sense of the whale storyline that one of them loved—and the other definitely did not. Was George the perfect romance hero? Did Frankie make everything harder than it needed to be? And was this beach read worth the emotional buildup?

    Episode 3

    Show notes

    Dana and Cori dive into With Friends Like You by Amy Chozick—a darkly funny psychological thriller about obsession, new motherhood, and a fractured friendship that goes completely off the rails.

    What begins as one kind of story slowly transforms into something neither of them saw coming. They unpack the characters, the audiobook’s standout narration, their wildly incorrect predictions, and the shocking twists that left them texting each other “WTF?” By the end, one of them was so anxious she had to stop listening—and immediately picked it back up the next morning.

    Was the ending brilliant, completely unhinged, or both? Listen in for Dana and Cori’s honest, spoiler-filled reaction to one of the most unexpected books they’ve read yet.
