A chaotic wedding, secret crushes, and one very inconvenient almost-divorce—this episode is for rom-com lovers who live for messy, multi-POV drama. In today’s episode, I chat with Mallory Kass (also known as Kass Morgan) about her transition from YA to adult romance, her new book Save the Date , and why writing adult relationships hits differently than coming-of-age stories. We also get into rom-com tropes, ensemble casts, and even the possibility of adding a murder subplot (yes, really). If you love layered romantic stories, dreamy settings, and a little emotional chaos, this one’s for you. 📚 Books Mentioned Save the Date by Mallory Kass — Buy on Amazon | Contemporary Romance | Audio ✅ Royal Summer by Kass Morgan — Buy on Amazon | YA Romance | Audio ✅ The Trouble with Anna by Rachel Griffith — Buy on Amazon | Historical Romance | Audio ✅ The Write Off by Kara McDowell — Buy on Amazon | Contemporary Romance | Audio ✅ Cross Your Heart and Hope He Dies by Jenny Elder Moke — Buy on Amazon | Mystery Romance | Audio ✅ ⏱️ Timestamps [00:00] – Intro + Meet Mallory Kass [01:00] –…
