He Read She Read

This week on He Read She Read® JP and Sarah dive into one of the most talked about books of the year, Lily King’s Heart the Lover. They discuss why it has captured so many hearts around the world and why it is so loved. JP explains his pet peeve of literary references in novels and Sarah explains her allergic reaction to the protagonist’s love interest at the beginning of the novel. They risk cancellation by unpacking whether the tear-inducing ending was earned or emotionally manipulative.
