  • Summary

  • Beach reads. Chick lit. Rom coms. The genre goes by many names, but there’s usually one guarantee for each book: People are kissing (or something more) just about 50 percent into it. Katey Psencik and Abigail Rosenthal are journalists, former co-workers-turned-friends and romance fanatics who have been trading books for years. Join us for biweekly episodes, including a monthly book club discussion of our pick, as well as chats about new releases, what we love about the genre, HEAs, our favorite authors, recommendations, BookTok reactions and more.

    'You Between The Lines' by Katie Naymon

    Katey and Abigail discuss “You Between The Lines” by Katie Naymon, a debut novel that sparked big feelings about poetry, pop culture, and being “not like other girls.” Other topics include imposter syndrome, internalized misogyny, poetic flirting, and why March (not April) might be the cruelest month.

    Origin Stories: 'New Orleans Rush' by Kelly Siskind (feat. author Sarah Adler!)
    Mar 13 2025

    Katey and Abigail debut a new series: Origin Stories, in partnership with author Sarah Adler! Each installment of Origin Stories will feature Katey, Abigail and Sarah revisiting one of the romance (or romance-adjacent) novels that built them—their lore, if you will. In this episode, Sarah asks Katey and Abigail to read Kelly Siskind’s “New Orleans Rush,” which features some not-so-petty crime, a hot magician and a whole lot of insight into how Sarah was inspired to write her novels “Mrs. Nash’s Ashes,” “Happy Medium” and “Finders Keepers” (which comes out in June).
