This week on Spill the Spine, We are diving back into the world of Briar U with The Score and The Goal by Elle Kennedy. We’re talking hockey boys, surprise feelings, questionable decisions, found family, and the kind of relationship drama that had us yelling at our books.

From Dean's commitment issues and Allie's chaos-fueled choices in The Score to Tucker and Sabrina giving us one of the sweetest (and most stressful) stories in The Goal, we're breaking down our favorite moments, character growth, and everything that made us laugh, swoon, and occasionally want to throw the book across the room.

As usual, we hand out our star ratings, get wildly off-topic, and somehow spend way too much time discussing everything except the books.

Grab your favorite drink, lace up your skates, and join the chaos.

We’re back at Briar U this week talking about The Mistake by Elle Kennedy and WOW… Logan really looked at one bad decision and said “let me make this everyone’s problem.”

This episode has:
Hockey boy chaos
Emotional damage
Freshman Grace absolutely standing on business
Us yelling about communication for an hour
Morgan and Bre getting distracted every five minutes

We discuss Logan’s spiral, whether his redemption arc worked on us, and why the Briar U boys continue to need supervised emotional support. Somehow we also end up talking about random life chaos, BookTok, and probably everything except the plot for at least ten minutes.

If you love messy hockey romances, groveling men, found family, and chaotic bestie energy, come hang out with us. ☕📚

This week on Spill the Spine, we tried to discuss Daggermouth by H. M. Wolfe…but honestly? We blacked out a little. This book came in hot, stabbed us emotionally, and then left us to deal with the consequences. We’re yelling, we’re confused, we’re questioning every life choice that led us here. Characters? Unstable. Plot? Unhinged. Us? Absolutely not okay.

Somewhere in this episode we do talk about the book—between spirals, side rants, and whatever else derailed us. Proceed with caution…or don’t. We didn’t.

Strap in, because this week we’re hitting 200 mph with Overtake by S.J. Sylvis—and things get messy fast.

We’re diving into Formula 1 chaos, rival racing dynasties, and the ultimate enemies-to-lovers showdown between cocky golden boy Rome Pierce and the boss’s daughter/crew chief who absolutely cannot stand him… until she maybe can’t stay away. When a shocking team switch forces these two to work together, the tension goes from professional rivalry to very personal real quick.

Expect us to break down the banter, the slow-burn (or not-so-slow 👀), and all the drama of forced proximity in the high-stakes world of racing. We’re talking:
rivals to lovers
workplace tension
secret romance vibes
and a whole lot of “I hate you…wait never mind” energy

Did we love the F1 setting? Are we now racing romance girlies? Did Rome win us over or make us want to throw hands? Tune in for all our unfiltered thoughts, chaotic tangents, and probably a few moments where we forget we’re supposed to be talking about the book.

Buckle up—it’s a ride.

This week was supposed to be all about Deviant King, Steel Princess, and Twisted Kingdom by Rina Kent… but yeah, that didn’t exactly happen.

After realizing we had some thoughts (and maybe a few concerns), we pivoted hard and picked up Lights Out by Navessa Allen instead. Did we stay on topic? Absolutely not.

What started as a backup plan quickly spiraled into pure chaos—featuring unhinged tangents, questionable takes, and us talking about literally everything except the book we chose.

So if you’re here for a structured literary discussion… this isn’t that. But if you’re here for vibes, laughs, and two besties losing the plot entirely? You’re in the right place.

In this episode, We crack open the morally gray universe of Rina Kent — where the kings are cruel, the obsession is unhinged, and the tension is absolutely feral.

We’re breaking down four of her most addictive books:

• Cruel King — the enemies‑to‑lovers spark that lit the entire Royal Elite world on fire
• God of Malice — the dark, twisted obsession that made readers collectively lose their sanity
• God of Ruin — the chaos, the heartbreak, and the beautifully toxic romance that ties it all together
• God of Fury — the rage, the revenge, the unraveling

Expect unfiltered opinions, character analysis, favorite moments, and the tropes that had us kicking our feet. If you love dark academia vibes, morally questionable men, and stories that refuse to let you look away, this episode is your new home.

Grab your headphones — it’s time to spill the spine.
