About Late Night Reads

Ever stayed up late because you can’t put down a book? Didn’t have anyone to talk to about the massive cliffhanger or your latest theory?

Us too. We’re obsessed with books that pull us into their world, make us feel like we’re the main character, and cause us to forget how late it is. 

Every week, we deep dive into a contemporary romance or romantasy book and talk plot, character development, tropes, themes, theories, spice, and more. Think of each episode as having a conversation with friends...with no filter and definitely NSFW.

We love a good quote

Quotes We're Crushing On

“I’m the only one here offering you unconditional support and love—and I’m not even asking you to choose me. I’m asking you to choose yourself.”

Anna
The Paradise Problem

"But allow me to be completely honest: Now that I’ve spent some time with you? And now that I’ve seen your crazy family? I want to be here on your team. Even if you told me the offer was all fake, and you don’t actually have two nickels to rub together, I’d still stay and help you pull this off. I’m your ride-or-die, West Weston."

Anna
The Paradise Problem

"I would have waited five hundred more years for you. A thousand years. And if this was all the time we were allowed to have... The wait was worth it."
