In this very special Halloween edition of Lose the Plot, Carla and Emily are thirsting, gasping, and questioning werewolves' hygiene standards after reading Muscles and Monsters by Ashley Bennett - the monster romance that’s 95% abs, 5% plot, and 100% emotional support doughnut holes.
Join us as we unpack the tale of Tegan, the anxious baker who falls for Atlas, a literal beast of a man with more muscle than sense and an appendage bigger than his calves. We discuss the logistics of monster romance (because someone has to), debate whether Atla's ex was actually that bad, and attempt to calculate how many cakes it would take to feed this man.

Lilly Blossom Bloom moves to the city for a guy (Atlas), forgets he exists, and somehow ends up in a mess of a relationship with Ryle, a neurosurgeon who punches patio furniture and, you know, people.

We’re diving headfirst into the chaos of this “romantic” disaster. Spoiler: Blake Lively can’t fix this one. Listen in as we break down the disaster, the ridiculousness, and why this book is definitely not what you expected.

Welcome to the unhinged world of dark romance BookTok, where logic goes to die and obsession is the love language. Rika is a teenage heroine with one goal: make her childhood crush (a full-grown man) finally notice her. If that means signing up to be a gang groupie, well… she’s all in.

Sara B is out for blood, and maybe a little love on the side. In this BookTok-approved fantasy romance, our vengeance-obsessed heroine is betrothed to a prince in a world that feels suspiciously like a dark Lion King reboot (minus the singing animals, plus more trauma).

What follows is a chaotic blend of revenge, royalty, and romantic red flags wrapped in a spicy fairytale fantasy that had us asking all the wrong questions. Prince Tristan turns Sara's plans upside down - or maybe sideways - IYKYK.
