You're listening to Heaving Buzums, the podcast where two best friends recap romance novels

while realizing the true ramifications of our favorite microtropes.

You're going to love what we love and do what I love.

Stack our shells with the crunchies out. Sh your best life, love.

Hey, HB's.

It's great to have you back for Part 2.

If you haven't heard Part 1, check out the episode that came out yesterday and then come back.

Before we get started, I want to shout out some beautiful people who have supported us on Patreon.

A big thanks and enthusiastic high fives go out to Deborah B, Jordan M, Salamanda, and Emily M.

When we left off yesterday, Peter was just starting to court the women on Celine's shortlist,

knowing he only has six weeks to meet, court, and marry a woman before the custody court date for his siblings.

Stressful.

That's where we're jumping in.

Love it out of love. Love it out of love. What I tell you, it is nothing but just adorable comedy of errors in this man's life.

He is the talk of the ton, and it is not because he is not a hot mess it is in fact the exact

opposite somehow every single date that he has gone on with these women has turned into gossip

because something has happened he's such a hot mess and he's so sincere about it, you know?

He's such a sincere hot mess.

In both ways you could possibly take the phrase.

He is such a sincere hot mess.

It's both.

Yes, absolutely.
