Featuring Gio Gahol as Shinta, and Rachel Coates as Jill.

Book description:

Every breakup has its playlist.

How do you get over a seven-year relationship? 21-year-old Jill is trying to find out. But moving on is a harder job when Kim, her ex-boyfriend, is the lead guitarist of the band, and Jill is the vocalist. Every song they play together feels like slicing open a barely healed tattoo.

Jill's best friend Miki says she will be out of this gloom soon. Breakups have a probation period, he says. Jill is on the last month of hers and Miki is patiently keeping her company.

But the real silver lining is Shinta. Having a hot Japanese actor friend in times like these is a welcome distraction. This gorgeous celebrity has been defying time zones and distance through the years to be there for Jill. Now he is here, physically present, and together he and Jill go through old lyrics, vivid memories, walks in the rain, and bottles of beer. Together they try to answer the question: what do you do when forever ends?

The #romanceclass podcast is back from its holiday break with a scene from Songs of Our Breakup by indie author jayetria. Jay's books haven't been out that long but the reviews and reader love make it seem as if she's been around for years. We hope this scene captures the reason why.

We changed it up a bit in this episode, if you've been following the podcast. At rehearsal we asked if Gio could try being the narrator, and he did a full reading of the entire scene on his own. Doing all the characters, different voices. It was cool (because he's a great actor duh) and from there we figured out how he could be both the narrator and the love interest, heartthrob actor Shinta. So in the episode you'll hear, Gio is the narrator, and also Shinta, and Rachel is the main character Jill in dialogue, but we also use her voice when it's Jill's inner thoughts. There's also a walk in the rain, abs, and ice cream. Does it all sound yummy enough?
