In today’s episode, we’re diving into the internet’s latest book drama… 👀📚
BookTok has been going OFF about Just Friends by Haley Pham... from the word choices, to the writing style, to the characters AND we had to sit down and talk about it. So we’re sharing our honest thoughts, reacting to some of the most talked-about quotes, and asking the bigger question:
Is the criticism actually fair… or is the internet being too harsh?
📚 Spoiler alert: we’re covering the whole book!
 ✨ Today’s drink: hot chocolate with top shelf distillers butter tart liqueur.

This week on Plot Twist Please, we’re diving into the rom-com murder mystery Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly Jackson. When Jet Mason learns she only has days to live after a brutal attack, she decides to spend her final week solving her own attempted murder. We unpack the twists, suspicious characters, small-town secrets, and debate what we would actually do in Jet’s situation. Did the twists fool us… or did we see them coming?
📚 Spoiler alert: we’re covering the whole book!
