In this episode, Morgann dives into the book that made her cry—twice. From the moment she read the first line ("This baby will not stop judging me"), she knew it was going to be good. This isn't just a tearjerker—it's a slow-burning friends-to-lovers story wrapped in grief, healing, and unexpected moments of joy (and armpit hair appreciation). Morgann shares why she chose this book, what made Lenny and Miles unforgettable, and how a “live again” list filled with everything from skinny-dipping to talent shows made this story feel so real. Plus: spicy hot takes, early impressions, a peek at the reviews, and what to read next if you're still emotionally recovering. This one’s for anyone who loves character-driven stories, late-blooming romance, and books that feel like therapy.
