This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Chris (@themythofChris) on their podcast, The Trope-ology Podcast, to discuss my favorite trope, hurt-comfort. I had an absolute blast, and instead of a blog post this week, I hope you will check out this episode where we discuss the psychological pay-off of hurt-comfort, how it relates to disability and chronic illness, the intimacy of being seen, why having needs (big and small met) matters of much in this trope, and of course, a TON of great book recs.

After my conversation with Chris, I think I added like 10 books to my tbr. I have embedded the episode below or you can check it out through the link above, and I hope you will follow Chris and her podcast as well because it’s a lot of fun and features some fabulous authors.
