In this episode, we’re discussing Kennedy Ryan’s emotionally charged romance Score. The story follows Verity Hill, an award-winning screenwriter, and Wright “Monk” Bellamy, a world-renowned musician, who are forced to reunite professionally more than a decade after a devastating breakup. As they collaborate on a Harlem Renaissance biopic, old wounds, unresolved feelings, and lingering chemistry resurface.   We dive into the novel’s exploration of second-chance love, forgiveness, trust, and what it means to confront the past while building a future. We also discuss Kennedy Ryan’s thoughtful portrayal of mental health through Verity’s experience with bipolar disorder, as well as the novel’s celebration of Black art, Black history, and queer representation.   Join us as we unpack whether love can truly survive betrayal, the complexities of reconnecting with a first love years later, and why Score is much more than a romance novel—it’s a story about healing, identity, ambition, and choosing yourself.
