    Jun 12 2026

    Summary: We are back in Barry's Bay, enjoying the scenery, like the picturesque lake, Sam Florek's eyes, and Charlie's abs. I'm just a girl. Sue me. We're exploring episodes one (Every Summer After) and two (Young Blood) in Amazon Prime's newest summer romance series, Every Year After, based on the book Every Summer After by Carley Fortune. We're talking about skeletons in our closets, the ghosts of summer past, rejecting shame about the female body, and the different feminine archetypes that are popping up so far.

    Summary: There's nothing quite like the Briar U boys who are back in action and proving that not only do book boyfriends do it better, but that shows written by women for women are always going to hit different. Hannah and Garrett bring their deal to a conclusion, leaving them both with murky, unresolved feelings for each other. In this episode of Femme & Furious, I'm diving into how the Off Campus series handles female pleasure, intimacy, agency, and autonomy, and the discrepancies between healthy and toxic masculinity.
