107. Not Another Love Song by Julie Soto (Part 2) "And she's coming."

Wish fulfillment is what the story feels like and there ain't nothing wrong with that, except when:

  • a mustache-twirling villain hijacks the plot (at least it was exciting);
  • the MCs have a taste for exhibitionism but awful timing; and,
  • the heroine is an inconsistent idiot.

We finished it (shocking considering how many issues we found in the overall design), but we highly recommend skipping this pod read in favor of some of the author's fanfiction. (You can find her on AO3 under LovesBitca8)
