S05.28: Women's Friendships in Romance with Sophie Jordan

Sophie Jordan is back again! She’s got a new book out, The Countess , the first in her Scandalous Ladies of London series, featuring a true Regency squad full of scandalous ladies and answering the question: What if the Real Housewives were actually Regency-era aristocrats? We talk about friendships in old school romances, about why groups of women are game changers in fiction and in real life, and fill your TBR with groups you will absolutely wish you could be friends with. In two weeks, we’re reading Tracy MacNish’s Stealing Midnight —we’ve heard the calls from our gothic romance readers and we’re delivering with this truly bananas story, in which the hero is dug out of a grave and delivered, barely alive, to the heroine. Get ready. You can find Stealing Midnight (for $1.99!) at Amazon , B&N , Kobo , or Apple Books . Show Notes Welcome Sophie Jordan . Her newest release, The Countess , is the first in the Scandalous Ladies of London Series. It’s loosely based on the reality TV show, The Real Housewives. Stay tuned at the end of the episode for the first two chapters of The Countess in Audiobook . In horror, “the final girl” is a trope about who survives.
