Ep 04 “It Gives Us The ICK!” Book Trope Edition

This week Ashley and Liz kick the podcast off with a faves and fails for the ages. If you want to laugh… hard… this might be the most hilarious episode yet. 
We delve into our top 5 book tropes that give us the icks. What topics in books make us cringe? Is there a difference between a guy who’s clingy and a guy who watches you without your knowledge on 24/7 security footage? Would you engage in physically romantic situations after sleeping outside, not taking showers, and questing on horseback for weeks?
Follow along for our answers, and as usual, a hilariously unhinged smash or pass with a popular book villain and someone of the dead… variety.
