Welcome to full-on vitriol. Brenna wants to barf and Joe wants to burn this book.

In this take no prisoners dressing down of Beth Reekles\\u2019 massive Wattpad success The Kissing Booth, Brenna and Joe don\\u2019t expect to make any tween fans from Los Angeles happy (or is it South Wales? Or is it South Africa?).

Adult listeners wishing to destroy their livers are welcome to play the \\u201cEdit!\\u201d drinking game as Brenna and Joe lament the inept job that Random House UK did in shepherding a 15 year old\\u2019s online serial into a book. Thankfully Vince Marcello\\u2019s 2018 film adaptation fares better, although both texts contain abhorrent depictions of \\u201cfantasy romances\\u201d that young girls should steer far, FAR away from.

Plus: Joe finally delivers on his promise to check out the Syfy adaptation of Rick Remender & Wesley Craig\'s graphic novel Deadly Class to mixed results, while Brenna strongly recommends Tiffany Jackson\'s unreliable narrator thrillers, Allegedly and Monday\\u2019s Not Coming.
