#197 – The Wedding Crasher by Mia Sosa (with Mama D of Petals of Support)

Tune in as Fake-Dating February wraps up on 2CC with the fourth and final episode of the month, where Mama D (Petals of Support) hops back into her guest seat for a review and recap of The Wedding Crasher, the 2022 rom-com novel by Mia Sosa that follows Solange and Dean as they create a fake-dating scheme together in the wake of Solange having put a stop to Dean’s wedding. Wondering where the so-called power couples of our world really are, the great capacity that single moms have to take care of their kids, normalizing condoms in rom-com novels, and Mama D’s quibble over the book’s period depiction stand out as some of the conversation matter in this episode.

TW: sexual content, parental abandonment (in the past), pregnancy, infidelity, alcohol, racism, and misogyny
