Lunar Love
So LC is getting her room painted so we're in a weird new studio that's all echoey and loud. We can't figure out if we're cool with it or not (feat Chloe whisper-shouting). But that didn't stop us from getting into Lauren Kung Jessen's astrology flavoured rom-com Lunar Love!
- Katie being super sweaty, super aggro about this book for some reason and how she whistles when she orders Subway
- Chloe is trying to bully the girls into adding to 10 years with BTS social media thing. Also she's pretty sure Jungkook is sending her coded messages in his karaoke choices. It's all part of her dealing with her upcoming military wife status
- Chloe low-key forgetting how to read halfway through the author bio. Which might be a side effect of exposure to Bennet's arms. Which she really did not stop talking about. This whole bicep exposure she's getting with the 4th gen KPop groups is making her EVEN thirstier
- How talking about real love has us talking about LC and her bloke's stupid happy marriage - mutual respect, teamwork, and pretending to be a 10 year old boy from Tallaght
- New love vs stable relationships - which is better? And is that harder for folks that are LGBTQ, since straight folks (straight girls anyway) be all flirty but not interested
- Our opinions on the zodiac and whether it takes advantage of vulnerable people or not
How astrology deep dives can fuel the romance of the beginning of a relationship
- Can you appropriate your own culture? With a sidebar into Chloe's deep-seated fear of traditional Irish music sessions. Which, to be fair, are terrifying
It's all in the latest Chick Lit 4 Life!

Always a matchmaker, never a match…
Olivia Huang Christenson is excited-slash-terrified to be taking over her grandmother’s matchmaking business. But when she learns that a new dating app has made her Pó Po’s traditional Chinese zodiac approach all about “animal attraction,” her emotions skew more toward furious-slash-outraged. Especially when L.A.’s most-eligible bachelor Bennett O’Brien is behind the app that could destroy her family’s legacy . . .
Liv knows better than to fall for any guy, let alone an infuriatingly handsome one who believes that traditions are meant to be broken. As the two businesses go head to head, Bennett and Liv make a deal: they’ll find a match for each other—and whoever falls in love loses. But Liv is dealing with someone who’s already adept at stealing business ideas . . . so what’s stopping him from stealing her heart too?
