About this episode

The hosts discuss friendship etiquette and social media expectations while diving into book-to-screen adaptations.

This week on Pretty Basic, we’re catching up on everything from identity crises over shoe sizes and clothing labels to our latest obsession: book-to-screen adaptations. From hockey romance heartthrobs (Off Campus fans unite) to fantasy worlds that completely consume your life, we’re diving into the stories currently taking over our group chat. Then, we put our friendships (and maybe ourselves) under the microscope with a game of " Would You Be Offended? " The answers reveal way more about us than expected as we unpack friendship etiquette, social media expectations, petty grievances, and the little things that can quietly get under our skin. It's a chaotic mix of book talk, hot takes and friendship debates — dare we say, Pretty Basic at its finest. 💕✨ Sponsors: EVERY YEAR AFTER: Watch Every Year After. Streaming June 10th, only on Prime.
