About Late Night Reads

Ever stayed up late because you can’t put down a book? Didn’t have anyone to talk to about the massive cliffhanger or your latest theory? Us too. We’re obsessed with books that pull us into their world, make us feel like we’re the main character, and cause us to forget how late it is. Every week, we deep dive into a contemporary romance or romantasy book and talk plot, character development, tropes, themes, theories, spice, and more. Think of each episode as having a conversation with friends...with no filter and definitely NSFW.
