Rekindling The Valentine's Day Special: Reviewing The Love Hypothesis

Books That Gave Us Trust Issues

We need to talk about the books that broke us. In this episode of Rekindling the Pages, we’re diving into the stories that gave us full-blown reader trust issues—the ones that made us side-eye authors, question our emotional stability, and consider googling spoilers before turning the page (no shame). From romantic betrayals where the FMC did not end up with who we thought, to devastating character deaths that still haunt us, to the most hyped books that completely underdelivered… we’re naming names and unpacking the damage. Because at this point, we’ve all been personally victimized by a book. Follow us on BookTok: 📚 @deyareads 📚 @notliz.er

From nostalgic favorites to fictional worlds that feel like home, we’re talking about the stories we’ll always return to. Drop your comfort reads in the comments!

BookTok Made Me Do It

BookTok has power. Dangerous power. In this comeback episode of Rekindling the Pages, we’re diving into the books we picked up because TikTok told us to—and let’s just say… the results were mixed. Some recommendations completely wrecked us in the best possible way, delivering unforgettable characters, emotional damage, and five-star obsessions. Others? Left us questioning our life choices, our trust in the algorithm, and sometimes even our sanity. We’re talking about the books that blessed us, the books that burned us, and how BookTok continues to shape our reading lives—for better or worse. Was the hype justified? Were we influenced too easily? And most importantly… will we ever learn our lesson? Probably not.

Life Updates (Spoiler Alert: We're Back!)

We know. We disappeared. No warning, no dramatic farewell, just… silence. And trust us, no one felt that absence more than we did. In this episode of Rekindling the Pages, we’re sitting down for a real, honest life update. We talk about where we’ve been, what’s been happening behind the scenes, and why stepping away for a bit was something we truly needed. This podcast has always been more than just books for us—it’s been a space for connection, comfort, and community. And coming back feels like coming home. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for still being here. And most of all, thank you for giving us the space to return when we were ready. We missed you. Truly.
