Tune in as Torry (Ready to Be Petty) visits the show to cover The Spanish Love Deception, the 2021 contemporary romance by debut author Elena Armas. Having originally been self-published by Armas and won the Goodsreads Choice Award for Best Debut Novel of 2021, TSLD’s enemies-to-lovers/grumpy x sunshine/fake dating/slow burn love story between engineering coworkers Catalina Martín and Aaron Blackford has enjoyed plenty of BookTok fame over the past year. Does it hold up for Arthur and Torry? In addition, they climb up on their soapboxes for issues like sexism and fatphobia, question the necessity of bachelor auctions, and reopen the previous episode’s chat about Twilight’s Cultural Touchstone status before segueing into the infamy of Game of Thrones.

Hey everyone! As you can probably tell, I have plenty of appreciation for books, movies, and TV shows—enough that I'm willing to write up whole reviews for all of this media and spread the good (or bad) word about them to everyone else. You can find me doing the same thing over at my podcast, which is also called 2 Cents Critic, where I bring on a variety of special guests to help me do reviews and recaps of (you guessed it!) books, movies, and TV shows.
