AUTHOR CHAT with Rachael Johns
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 LINKS: Stay up to date with Rachael at her website Follow Rachael on instagram Follow me on tikok and instagram Follow the podcast on instagram Order my debut novel Love on the Air

'Materialists' with Damaris Treasure
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.
