  • ep 040 (vday special): how to end a love story by yulin kuang / the women by kristin hannah
    Feb 10 2026

    In this special Valentine's Day collab with A Novel Affair: Romance Bookstore, Nins & Arns share two books that made founders Yung & Julie cry. Nins takes it one step at a time in her reading of How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang. Arns witnesses the Vietnam War through the eyes of an army nurse in The Women by Kristin Hannah. And both, of course, come to the same realization: that there's no love greater than self-love.

    Content warning: trauma, grief & loss, death from suicide, violence, mental health issues, PTSD
