What we're watching and reading

Just because we're experts at designing the best-fitting swimwear doesn't mean we don't also love switching off with a seriously good book or a binge-watch TV show.

So, we thought we'd share what the team is currently loving - from addictive Netflix dramas to romantic novels you won't want to put down.

"Consider this your cosy, low-stakes permission slip to cancel plans and open a new tab on Netflix. You're welcome."

Tell Me Lies

Tell Me Lies

Disney+

Looking for an addictive TV series to binge-watch? This is it.

This messy, intense psychological drama follows Lucy and Stephen's toxic college relationship and the emotional wreckage it leaves over the next decade.

The newer season digs even deeper into the fallout, showing how unresolved trauma and questionable decisions don't magically disappear with time. It's dramatic. It's uncomfortable. It's the kind of show where you say "just one more episode" when you should really be going to bed.

If you're after relationship drama TV shows, dark romance vibes, or character-driven series that spark group-chat debates, this one's hard to stop watching.


Love Is Blind

Love Is Blind

Netflix

Sometimes you don't want prestige TV. You want something chaotic, comforting, and ridiculously easy to watch. That's where Love Is Blind on Netflix comes in.

The premise? Singles date in "pods" without ever seeing each other, get engaged sight unseen, and then attempt to plan a wedding within weeks. It's part social experiment, part reality dating drama, and completely addictive.

Each season delivers awkward first meetings, genuine love stories, dramatic breakups, and at least one jaw-dropping plot twist. It starts as background TV and somehow turns into full emotional investment.

If you're searching for reality TV recommendations or the best dating shows on Netflix, this is your sign.


Bridgerton

Bridgerton

Netflix

Yes, we're still talking about Bridgerton. And honestly? We'll probably always keep talking about it.

This Regency-era romance series remains one of the most popular romantic TV shows on Netflix, and the latest season leans hard into slow-burn tension and friends-to-lovers energy. Add in scandalous secrets, high-society drama, and some of the most stunning period costumes on TV, and you've got peak escapism.

It's visually lush, swoony, and very bingeable - the perfect weekend watch if you're in the mood for glamour and grand declarations of love.


Fourth Wing

Fourth Wing

Rebecca Yarros

There's a reason this is one of the most talked-about fantasy romance books right now. Set in a brutal war college where students train to become dragon riders, the story follows Violet, who was meant to live a quiet academic life until she's forced into a deadly training program where most cadets don't survive.

It's high-stakes, fast-paced, and packed with tension (romantic and otherwise). Think dangerous trials, morally grey love interests, and shocking twists that make it impossible to stop reading.

If you're hunting for fantasy book recommendations, enemies-to-lovers romance, or a wildly bingeable series to get lost in, this one absolutely lives up to the hype.


Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Gabrielle Zevin

If you're craving something more reflective but still hard to put down, this is a standout literary fiction novel.

The story follows two childhood friends who reconnect in college and go on to create a wildly successful video game company. Over decades, their relationship weaves through ambition, rivalry, heartbreak, and complicated love - the kind that doesn't fit neatly into boxes.

It's thoughtful without feeling heavy, emotional without being dramatic. Just a layered, moving look at creativity, friendship, and what it really means to build something meaningful with someone else.

Perfect if you're looking for book club recommendations, contemporary literary fiction, or a thought-provoking novel that stays with you long after you've turned the last page.


Romantic Comedy

Romantic Comedy

Curtis Sittenfeld

If you're searching for romantic comedy books that are clever, modern, and actually make you feel something, Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld needs to go straight onto your reading list.

This smart contemporary romance novel follows Sally, a successful comedy writer on a late-night sketch show (think serious Saturday Night Live energy). She's funny, ambitious, and quietly convinced that love stories only happen to women who look like the pop stars they book on the show - not women like her. Then a wildly charming (and very famous) musician guest-hosts the show… and suddenly the script flips.

It's sharp and self-aware, poking fun at celebrity culture and modern dating, while also digging into bigger themes like ambition, insecurity, and who society thinks "deserves" the fairytale ending. It's funny, but it's also tender and surprisingly relatable.

If you love contemporary romance novels with depth, witty dialogue, and characters that feel real, this one's for you.
