Episode Synopsis

Fictionally Unhinged: Fall Book Chaos, Fantasy Boys in Corn Mazes, and TikTok Book Betrayals 🍂You’re listening to Fictionally Unhinged — where every opinion is unfiltered, every spiral is dramatic, and every TBR is dangerously out of control. Consider this your official warning label: spoilers and unhinged chaos ahead.It’s fall… sort of. In this episode, we’re pretending we don’t live in 85° Florida and fully leaning into fantasy fall vibes. We’re playing games like Fantasy Fall Activities (carving pumpkins with Violet? Getting lost in a corn maze with Cassian?), stealing apple cider donuts with book characters, and of course, putting books on trial for not living up to the hype. 📚⚖️We dive into the most popular books BookTok made us read — and whether or not they were worth it. From Zodiac Academy and Ruthless Boys, to Quicksilver, The Ritual, The Housemaid, Butcher & Blackbird, Incon and Fantasma, The Things We Never Got Over, and Verity — we’re spilling the tea, throwing shade, and roasting every letdown along the way.Expect spicy takes, chaotic laughter, tangents about secret societies, fall book recs, and a little bit of therapy for all the morally gray men who ruined us.Books mentioned: 🖤 Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver 🖤 The Ritual & The Sinner by Shantel Tessier 🖤 Zodiac Academy + Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac 🖤 Quicksilver by Raye Wagner 🖤 The Housemaid by Freida McFadden 🖤 Verity, November 9th, It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover 🖤 The Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score 🖤 Incon + Fantasma by Kaylie Smith 🖤 The Silent Patient, Behind Her Eyes, Dead Guy Next Door, The Pumpkin Spice Cafe, and more…Whether you’re team “worth the hype” or team “BookTok betrayed me,” this episode is cozy, chaotic, and full of fall book energy.
