Who needs a real boyfriend when you have a a fictional boyfriend and a vibrator? This is the question Mia and Karly have been asking for the last year, and now they want to get into it with you. For the record, a 500 page slow burn basically just shows how important foreplay is IRL. They’ll also rant about how casual sex changes after college, why every girl should own a vibrator, and why men will just never live up to their unrealistic expectations (blaming the book boyfriends for this one).

We know you’ve been waiting for this one besties. In today’s episode, Mia and Karly will explain the absolute CHOKEHOLD Sarah J. Maas, author of the A Court of Thorns and Roses, Throne of Glass, and Crescent City series, has on their lives. While reading a five book fantasy smut series in 48 hours may not sound healthy, they’ll discuss why ACOTAR is behind their mental instability and why Fae men are the reason behind their unrealistic dating expectations. Of course, Karly & Mia have a rant prepared, and will be discussing the importance of strong female friendships and why the boyfriend sickness epidemic needs to end. Happy reading besties!
