Lose the Plot with Carla and Emily

We're baaaaaack! Carla thought literally no-one has been listening to our podcast, so we hit an editing SLUMP. If you are enjoying Lose the Plot leave us a comment or give us a 5 start rating! In this episode, Carla and Emily are metaphorically digging up the floorboards and exploring the mysterious chaos of Never Lie by Freida McFadden—the psychological thriller that took a romantic winter getaway and turned it into a claustrophobic nightmare.
We’re talking unreliable narrators, barely-there plot twists, and the exact moment Adrienne Hale became the official topic of our group chat. There’s blizzard tension, sassy but absent real estate agents, and enough hidden audio tapes to make us collectively lose our minds. Whether you’re a psychological thriller addict, a domestic suspense lover, or just here for the chaotic BookTok banter, lock your doors and settle in!

This episode on Lose the Plot, Carla and Emily are officially spiraling over A Court of Mist and Fury - the book that took Spring Court depression and turned it into Night Court obsession. We’re breaking down the ultimate Romantasy glow-up that saw Feyre trade a toxic floral nightmare for a High Lord with serious wingspan energy.
We’re talking the slow burn to end all slow burns, the found family we’d actually join a war for, and the exact moment Tamlin became the official villain of our group chat. There’s training montage tension, tropes for days, and enough "Hello, Feyre Darling" energy to make us collectively lose our minds. Plus, we try to address the cultural reset that is Chapter 55.
Whether you’re a Rhysand loyalist or just here for the spicy romantasy banter, grab your soup and settle in - it’s time to visit the City of Starlight.

It's time for Carla and Emily to Lose the Plot over The Deal by Elle Kennedy, the college hockey romance that said 'fake dating for academic purposes' and then immediately made it everyone’s emotional problem.
We’re talking practice-turned-flirting, ego the size of an ice rink, and a hero who starts off as walking red flag energy but somehow skates his way into growth. There’s tutor/student tension, chaotic roommate vibes, and enough competitive banter to qualify as a contact sport.
