#133 - The Books That Hit All the Right Notes (Funny, Romantic Mysteries) with Jessica Howard

  What do you call mysteries that are also romance novels but are also really funny? Is there a name for that genre? I don’t know what it’s called, but these are the kind of books I’m loving right now, and my friend (and friend of the show) Jessica Howard is here to talk about this mishmashed genre and some of our favorite reads in it. Whatever it’s called.   Of course, because this is The Couch, where side notes and rabbit trails are always welcome, we also talk about our favorite blankets, watching The Bachelorette, and listening to audiobooks on road trips.   If you love this podcast, would you do me a favor and tell a friend?
