We did it! We have finished the end of Cocky Surgeon, by Faleena Hopkins. Cockygate is almost at an end! Does Caden get to come back to Atlanta? Does Janet get....what....she....deserves? We discuss how preachy this book gets (there's a lot of preachiness at the end) and even discuss Faleena's 7 tips on writing romance and if they are actually used…

After a very exciting wedding weekend, Elle and Meg are a little congested and glad to have read some sexy, sexy scenes. Just kidding, we continued on with Cocky Surgeon. Do Caden and Elizabeth get back together officially? What ARE the least sexy foods you can eat slash compare genitals to? What's the sexiest food? Why is everyone mesmerized by sa…

Have we hit an actual stride of good chapters? We have at least hit some drama and a time jump! Get ready to jump into Chicago's medical world. Does Caden get super cocky and start sleeping with someone new? Does Elizabeth wander around without any purpose? Do we figure out why Janet is the apparent bad guy? Who knows! But we definitely make dick j…

In order to get through the book quicker, Elle and Meghan have set a finale date! Which is to the benefit of everyone, as this week's episode is about six chapters of an erotica novel with NO SEX. So buckle in for 6 chapters of family drama non-sense. Because it does get weird. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook | Facebook Group Music this season: "Th…

Meg and Elle are back with several new chapters! We read chapters 19-23 of Cocky Surgeon, which led to so many new observations about Hopkins's writing. Instead of cats, we try to figure out if smirking penises are euphemisms for something, how doctor residencies actually work, and whether or not the author sticks with one theme throughout all 18 b…

Elle and Meg are back! We discuss the court case briefly: what actually happened in the court room and why the case was dropped. As for the book, we read three chapters: two boring weird medical chapters sandwiching FINALLY SOME SEX. Is it good? Is it worth the wait? How awkward do Elle and Meg get? Follow us on Twitter | Facebook | Facebook Group …

This week Elle and Meg read chapters 12-15 of Cocky Surgeon! We were going to talk about the court case this episode, but too much ridiculousness happens in this book that we had to talk about these chapters. But you know what doesn't happen? Sex. Elle comes up with the best game to make this book actually interesting, and spoiler: it doesn't invol…

Elle and Meg are back this week with Chapters 8-11! We get some awkward flirting, a hand job where you would least expect it, and the sudden realization that the side characters are the better characters. Also, should you discuss politics in a bar? Follow us on Twitter | Facebook | Facebook Group Music this week: "The Porn King" by The Funky Filter…

Elle and Meghan are back with some....pretty boring chapters honestly. And when there isn't a lot of sex, they definitely find other things to talk about. And there are still plenty of things to wonder what the heck the author was talking about in these chapters. Discussed this episode: cold brew coffee, breakfast teas, new adult romance/erotica bo…

Elle and Meghan officially start their dive into Cocky Surgeon by Faleena Hopkins! We actually...get a little bit of a story before any sexual acts? We breakdown a little of what led to #cockygate, starting with Kindle Unlimited and Bookclicker. We discuss why authors need to stop claiming their characters are feminists (sigh) and our deathly fears…

Meghan and Elle officially take on #cockygate! And what we realized was the #cockygate is only the small problem of a much larger to do. We read the sample of Cocky Roomie, Meghan complains about Atlanta knowledge, Elle does some dramatically wonderful readings of the book, and we keep repeating the phrases "moist ash" and "lemonade shower." Join u…

Meghan and James are back for the final episode! It's more like a quick epilogue. We don't read the entire thing on the podcast, but you get genuine first reactions to this ending from James and trust me — they're enjoyably hilarious. Who gets married? Who catches the bouquet? What is the cringe-worthy last sentence and how do we react? We also dis…

This week's episode is much longer because we broke our rule and started talking about the controversy as our beloved author stirred it up again, and we just...couldn't....stay quiet. Kind of like our author. There are some light spoilers for The Hate U Give from minute 18:00-19:34 (nothing major, just "this is what this book is about.") If you onl…
