  • Episode Review: The Buccaneers Season 2, Episode 4- “Ice Cream”

    Guys, I have so many thoughts I cannot even comprehend. First, let’s celebrate the GuyNan reunion. I was beyond excited to see my GuyNan together again, even if it was short-lived. All I could think about was Futile Devices when they were dancing and laughing in dear old Italy. I haven’t had such a big…

  • The Walter Boys Are So Back

    Guys, it is banger show after banger movie after banger album release, and I am obsessed. If you haven’t already heard, My Life with the Walter Boys just released their official date for season two. I feel like I have been waiting forever—it’s been almost two years. The agony of knowing a show is filming…

  • The Ultimate Guide to a Media Girl Summer

    As a media girl myself, I consider myself to be having a media girl summer. I swear I can never put a show down—or a book, if we are being literal—once I’ve become obsessed. I feel like having a list of shows to rewatch during the summer is essential, and the summer books keep rolling…

  • Episode Review: The Buccaneers Season 2, Episode 3- “Get Her Out”

    Okay I have many, many thoughts about Episode Three of The Buccaneers, Season Two. Sitting with the episode last night and reading the title, it hits harder the longer you sit with it. I honestly did not see Nan telling Theo not only that she was with Guy the night before their wedding, but that…

  • We’ll Always Have Summer… But Will We Survive Season 3?

    Somehow the downfall of Jeremiah doesn’t feel close enough, yet we are literally 16 days away from the release of Season Three of The Summer I Turned Pretty. Let’s talk about it. I feel like summer has officially started, and the Cousins Beach chaos and the Conrad and Belly angst is already here. I cannot…

  • A New Chapter, the Same Lydia: Why Parody of Pleasure Feels So Personal

    As a follower of Lydia Night for some time, I think I can speak for everyone when I say I am beyond ready for her debut album in August. Following her series of the becoming of Lydia Night and her musical life after The Regrettes has been, well, a long time coming. I feel like…

  • Episode Review: The Buccaneers Season 2, Episode 2- “Holy Grail”

    “What letter, Diana, what letter?”That is what I felt watching this episode of The Buccaneers. My GuyNan heart is once again dying because of a letter that is read and hidden from Nan—but only this time, IT IS BURNT. Oh Buccaneers, you chaotic, corset-laced fever dream. I definitely knew that we were going to get…

  • They Were Liars, and I’m Still Not Okay

    Okay, I know I’m late to We Were Liars, since it finally dropped on Prime Video last week, but I feel like I need to talk about it. I’ll admit—I didn’t read the book (even though it’s sitting on my never-ending TBR shelf), but I did kind of know the plot twist. And even kind…

  • Lies, Lineage, and Love Triangles: The Buccaneers Are Back

    It’s a Buccaneers Summer, that’s for sure.It’s a filler before Bridgerton, but I still love and adore the series. Season 2 kicks off right after that emotional and gut-punching finale—Nan marries Theo after sacrificing her love for Guy. I think I can speak for a lot of us when I say that was the most…
