Ahhhh! Naima Simone is back to play! And there are orcs!! This book was SOOO good, y'all. We're obsessed with it. A lot of times good romance not only delivers on the swoony and schmexy components, but it comments on the world we inhabit. This book does that on every level at an 11!! Plus is Bonkers in all the best ways. So! This is part 1 because we chatted for 4 hours.

Content Warnings: This episode contains discussions of freedom of choice, abortion, teenaged pregnancy, loss of a pregnancy, harmful visits to the doctor, and self-harm (cutting). But we balance that with cackling, silly nicknames, and buckets of come!

Bonus Content: Slutty Bears, "Medieval England Times Paranormal Orc Times Highlander Times," getting corked like a wine bottle, Splash Mountain, Finley Fenn's Buckets of Cum Guarantee, and so much more!
