Ep. 10 - When Your Stalker Brings Snacks: Lights Out Book Review

This week, the Between the Folds crew dives into Navesa Allen's "Lights Out," a stalker romance that's equal parts steamy and surprisingly wholesome. Join Jess, Lindsay, and Elisa as they unpack the story of Josh, a reclusive cyber genius with a TikTok mask account, and Ally, a trauma nurse who accidentally falls for her ex's masked roommate.

But the real star of this episode? Narrator Jacob Morgan's voice, which has the hosts completely hypnotized. Seriously, they mention him approximately 47 times (yes, we counted).

The conversation covers everything from consent in stalker romances to the logistics of having nipples for teeth, plus a deep dive into why this "soft-core stalking" left them divided. Lindsay wanted it darker, Jess was completely satisfied, and Elisa... well, she DNF'd it the first time but came back for the woods scene.

Expect hilarious debates about mask kinks, passive-aggressive Minnesota nice, the appeal of micro-penises versus lisps, and whether you'd rather change sexes every time you sneeze. Plus, the hosts share their most re-readable scenes, discuss vicarious trauma representation, and explain why mob plotlines can sometimes kill the mood.

Fair warning: this episode contains excessive narrator thirst, Twilight comparisons that may hurt your feelings, and the revelation that the sexy baker guy has ruined us all.
