Neither of us will look at peaches the same way again after this story. We discuss the very dudely professions of love, who is our prefered hunk, and where we draw the line when it comes to intimacy. This love story is complicated and beautiful and well worth diving into.

Stay safe during this pandemic and don’t forget to wash your hands!
