Romance novels, smutty tropes, and two Aussie girls who absolutely CANNOT keep it together. Lose the Plot with Carla and Emily is just like a virtual book club - but louder, messier, and fully obsessed with BookTok’s spiciest reads. From Colleen Hoover heartbreaks to dark romance disasters, fae fantasy smut to fake dating, nothing is safe from our unhinged commentary!
If 'enemies to lovers,' 'forbidden romance,' or 'why choose' has ever ruined your sleep schedule, you’ll feel right at home here. Heads up: we get a little sweary and a lot silly!
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black - Enemies to Lovers or Pure Bullying?
Carla and Emily are diving deep into the wicked, treacherous, and deeply dramatic world of The Cruel Prince by Holly Black. The ultimate YA fae fantasy that left us wondering why anyone in Elfhame thinks point ear politics, wooden crowns, and drinking tree sap is better than a 2000s iPod Nano and shopping at Victoria's Secret!
We’re talking Jude Duarte suffering through immortal arrogance, the sheer absurdity of fairy court etiquette, and the toxic, enemies-to-lovers tension with Prince Cardan (who is giving... interesting bully slash protector energy). Whether you’re a die-hard fantasy romance lover, a YA fae addict, or just here for the chaotic BookTok banter, snap your pink flip phone and settle in!
