Welcome to Confessions of a Hopeless Romantic: where two bookstore divas yap about books for a living and somehow still never shut up about them after work.
Join Kearston (she/her) and Shelly (they/them) as they spill everything about working at an indie bookstore in Toronto, the latest romantasy reads, BookTok chaos, emotional support fictional men, and the books they’re forcing every customer to read.
Cozy. Pink. Dramatic. Slightly delusional.
Basically a sleepover for bookish besties who highlight their favorite quotes.
