  • I love listening to Falling in Love Montage - it's refreshing and fun, and I love hearing the perspectives of Helen and Valerie when it comes to rom coms and other similar movies - both ones I've seen and ones I haven't. They both bring great energy and viewpoints, and I definitely recommend you listen to it!
