Lex brings the case against his wife, Lauren. Lauren is serious about getting her steps in - even during the frigid East Coast winter. When it’s too cold to walk outside, Lauren gets her steps inside the house. Even though there's a treadmill in their finished basement! The problem is, she’s driving Lex - AND their kids - nuts! Who’s right, and who’s wrong?

It's your last chance to get all of your HEATED RIVALRIES and disputes for Rachel Reid (GAME CHANGERS, HEATED RIVALRY)! Are romance novels as valid an art form as other fiction? What is the best romantasy series? What is the WORST romantasy series? Which romantic trope is too played out? Submit all of your romance adjacent cases to maximumfun.org/jjho or email hodgman@maximumfun.org.
