Autoboyography by Christina Lauren (Part 2) | 425.2
2026/04/21
Hey HBs! We're back with part 2 of AUTOBOYOGRAPHY by Christina Lauren! When we left you yesterday, Tanner and Sebastian were dating in secret and Tanner just realized that the most important piece of Sebastian’s identity is his status as a faithful Mormon. Understandably, he’s not sure where that leaves him or their relationship. That’s where we’re jumping in!
Lady Loves:
Mel: reading Percy Jackson to my kids every night before bed has been THE BEST.
Sabrina: Live Music! It's their happiest place. Especially local live shows with unknown acts.
Sabrina: ALSO, loop ear plugs! Leaving a heavy metal show and not feeling like they're underwater is revolutionary.
Mel: WELL, IF WE'RE DOING EXTRAS. Current guilty pleasure is the latest season of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Granted, this was recorded before I was done with the season and before Taylor Frankie Paul's continued abuse allegations broke and the subsequent Bachelorette scandal/cancellation. It got less fun then.

Autoboyography by Christina Lauren (Part 1) | 425.1
2026/04/20
Hey HBs! We're here with part 1 of AUTOBOYOGRAPHY by Christina Lauren! What a gorgeous YA romance featuring two teenage boys and a whole bunch of religious complications. It's written so lyrically! I promised it a few weeks ago and then we had to move the schedule around to accommodate our St. Vincent Day shenanigans. So, in the episode’s timeline, we read this book right after FOR WHOM THE BELLE TOLLS by Jaysea Lynn, so our religious trauma was right there at the surface. That's probably important context ;)
Bonus Content: the universe wants us to confront our religious trauma, it's impossible for Sabrina to know about this book and pronounce autobiography the right way at the same time, you couldn't pay us to go back to HS, "everything is so fraught!", and so much more!

Friend Catch Up! (Bonus 313)
2026/04/17
Hey HBs! Sabrina and I are coming at you with a friend catch up!
Happy SVD! The Grump Next Door by Brighton Walsh | 424.2
2026/04/14
Hey HBs! It's part 2 of THE GRUMP NEXT DOOR by Brighton Walsh! When we left you yesterday, Atlas had just approached Sutton about faking a relationship because, after hearing about his display of protection and claiming in front of the whole town, his mom is really excited about it. And then Sutton’s daughter Laurel showed us how it’s done by getting a trip to Paris for her cooperation. Incredible. That’s where we’re jumping in!
Bonus Content: we give AMAZING parenting advice, dildo clown shoes, interesting town names and city limits, all the playlists, and so much more!
Lady Loves:
Sabrina: put things that make you happy up on the wall. They just decorated their hallway with letters and book art and it's the happiest! Dopamine decorating is the best.
Mel: A new hero we all needed: Big Fat the Corgy! A bunch of dogs in China were abducted and, after they jumped from the truck, all of them surrounded the injured german shepherd to protect them from traffic. THEN Big Fat the Corgy led the whole group Homeward Bound. INCREDIBLE.
