Welcome to the newest Fizz Hangout! Every Friday, you all can stop by the weekly Fizz Hangout post and ask questions (to us or to your fellow patrons), discuss recent bonus scenes and/or podcasts with each other, and catch up on all the goodies you might've missed!

HANGOUT QUESTION: we love seeing your response to questions about the Like Us series, and it helps facilitate some awesome discussions! Each week, there'll be a new "hangout question" that you can answer in the comments, if you wish! The question this week is...

What are you most looking forward to in Misfits Like Us? 

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & superheroic beauties! It is that time. We are finally at the last Fizz Hangout before the release of Misfits Like Us!! 🎉 Next Fizz Hangout, the book will be out and about in the world. It's only 7 days away!! Words cannot express how excited we are, but we will try out best to express it over on the "What to Expect in Misfits Like Us" podcast that will be dropping next week before the release. All we can say now is that we're so happy Luna and Donnelly are getting 3 books because we're nowhere near ready to say goodbye to these two 👽✨

As always, don't forget to read the more news section. We have more updates for all of you there. In case you missed it, here's what went down this week on Patreon:

- Extra: Behind-the-Scenes: Birthday Chart Updated!

- Teaser Tuesday: Teaser Tuesday #5: Misfits Like Us

MORE NEWS

💗 Sweepstakes: Berkley is giving away 11 Must Read Books of August, including the new print edition of Addicted to You. Giveaway ends July 22nd. US only. Enter here.

💗 Simon & Schuster Australia print editions will release on July 18th! Australian and New Zealand readers can find the books here. 

Readers who do not live in Australia or New Zealand: If you'd like any of these Simon & Schuster Australia editions, they are up on The Book Depository, including the new cover of Some Kind of Perfect 💓

Note: the Simon & Schuster Australia editions will be a different height than our indie paperbacks, so just be aware of that if you're planning on getting SKOP.

💗 Signed Book Store Restock: This will still be happening at the end of the month. The restock will include the Addicted Series, Calloway Sisters (both the new editions and original editions), Bad Reputation, and Misfits Like Us. You will be able to ask for character notes for ONLY Bad Reputation (paperback and hardcover), Misfits Like Us, and Love & Other Cursed Things. We won't be offering character notes for any other books, including the new covers of the Calloway Sisters.

(As a reminder: We order lots of books, but we are limited by the space in our house. So we can't always order hundreds and hundreds of each title. If a title does sell out, we're planning on having more restocks.)

For more info about the signed store, we have an FAQ page

💗 In case you missed this news, there will be brand new covers for the Like Us series 🎉  These will be illustrated covers. They'll replace the ebooks, and the print editions (paperback & hardcover) will be special editions that include one Patreon bonus scene in the back of each. We're still estimating that they'll be completed this year. They're being designed by the amazingly talented Haley Secen ✨

The original Like Us series paperbacks with the faces will still be available online, and for the rest of the Like Us series, you'll have a choice between the face cover or the illustrated cover for print. This way you can complete your collection if you already have the face covers

💗 November 4th-6th, we'll be attending Shameless Book Con 2022 in Orlando, Florida

Chrissy

Hi! I’m excited for all of it! When will the paperback be available to order?

gabriella 📖☁️🧸

I’m so excited for all of it, i don’t know if i could just pick one thing!!

Isabelle King

I’m excited to see the Hales again and I’m really hoping for more of Luna and Lo’s relationship and hoping it’s happy and I’m excited to see Lily and Luna’s relationship. I am also just excited to see Luna get love and affection:)

becky

Im excited to see Luna and Jane’s relationship through her POV!

Andrea

I just can’t wait to really meet both characters and see what their heads are like 🥰 congrats on the 2,500 subscribers as well, I know it wasn’t a goal but that is literally so many subscribers 🖤

Jen

I’m super excited to see Luna’s relationship with Kinney and with Tom & Eliot!!

space babe

i got the lunnelly content secured so im looking forward to eliot winifred crumbs and maybe xander harriet too?🤞🤞

Indy

Hii a question, but in earlier post it also said that infamous like us would be available for character notes, is that not the case anymore? I really wanted to get that one as well🥹

Lauren G

Lol most excited for? As if there is just one thing! ✨Donnelly’s POV (FINALLY!) I am obsessed with this boy but he is an absolute mystery to me and I NEED TO KNOW what he is thinking (especially those interactions with luna!) ✨Luna’s POV for the exact same reason! Could never quite understand where she stood with her feelings for Donnelly and I can’t wait to explore that more! ✨Donnelly’s relationship with Lily! I’m going to NEED Lily to step in and take care of/love Donnelly similarly to the way she did Farrow (especially with Lo’s impending reaction to their relationship) ✨Y A L E B O Y S - duh ✨Luna + Tom + Elliott trio ✨Donnelly + Xander bodyguard relationship - obsessed, need I say more? ✨ Donnelly + Hale dynamic (because we know he is a Cobalt Stan 😉) And just all of the Luna and Donnelly life moments I know are going to be emotional and loving and now I’m dying for it to be the 22nd! 🥹

Yasti

I’m dying to finally read from Luna’s and Donnelly’s POVs! I’m also really eager to see the troublemakers together, and possibly some of Luna and Charlie’s relationship? It’s always intrigued me. And I’m really really hoping for crumbs of Eliot x Winnifred, Beckett x Joana, Charlie x Roxanne, Winona x Jesse or literally any other future couples :)

Lilyann Plockelman

i’m most most most excited for a wawa date and luna and farrow content!! i love their friendship

shi luvs st.cobalt

I’m super excited to see more of the Troublemaker’s relationship & to be with the Hales again!! 🤗🤎

Haley Secen

Oh gosh the list: more Yale boys, the troublemakers, Donnelly’s relationship with his past and current clients, and any kind of backstory to all the Lunnelly crumbs we’ve already got!

Sara

Lily and Lo are my favorite characters in every universe, so I'm REALLY excited/hopeful about seeing more of them, and their relationship with Luna. I adore Xander and can't wait to see more of his bodyguard relationship with Donnelly. I'm really curious about how he'll react to Lunnelly. Also love the Yale Boys and can't wait to see them through Donnelly's eyes! Predicting that Lily and Farrow will be the biggest Lunnelly shippers 💚

Amy Sutter

I really can't wait to see what happens with Lo and Donnelly. And if/when/how Donnelly wins Lo over. Donnelly deserves a real FAMILY too.

Zeynep

looking forward to luna and donnelly's jealousy scenes tbh and charlieroxanne crumbs if u guys decided to give roxanne a cameo this book 🥹❤️

Illyana

Im excited to see how of a Dali Lama Donnelly ACTUALLY is, jokes aside. Put that ravenclaw into action. How smart is he? How much do people underestimate him vs. what he actually is. How does he react to that? How much does Farrow ACTUALLY know about how deep Donnelly is or his back history? Do the Yale boys (the smartie pants) know how smart he is? What does Thrawn's protegee... i mean... Charlie... think of Donnelly? Can he see right through him? CAN CONNOR SEE RIGHT THRU HIM OMG

Kelly Chase

I've been re-listening to all of the audiobooks and I'm so excited for another installment and more of the Hales! Do we think it will pick up at the time jump from the end of Infamous Like Us or go back?

Illyana

Oh- also shooting back to lovers like us when Kits ordered after the Hot Santa Claus scandal for all bodyguards to lay low and not be active on socials anymore and Donnelly responds by moaning monologuing, "how am i gonna keep up with my fandoms?!" I'm excited to see Donnelly's social media presence, what's on his FYP, what are these fandoms and what is on his feed i.e. in his daily life XD He's literally so relatable... xd Honestly i'm just excited to see a day in his life XD

Illyana

Lol wouldn't it be ironic if all of that was a facade and his ravenclaw reveals in Misfits that when he meant his fandoms... he just meant... keeping up with... idk the wall street journal ? XD or like has google alerts for Jstor or google scholar XD

Illyana

*Ironic AND *iconic

Lauren Gibbs

I am SO EXCITED for Luna's POV because Lily is still one of my absolute POVs to read out of everyone~ 😍💕👏🏻

Deniz

Family/friendship dynamics, donnelly's relationship with both xander and beckett

Illyana

Also i must know what did you guys think about Ms. Marvel being a (M****) at the finale? Ngl the xmen fan is acting up a bit like a salty Sheldon Cooper when men in suits shoehorn our gremlin xmen as an afterthought in anything 🤣 But the mcu goer in me is intrigued?

addison

Donnelly’s perspective on farrow and their friendship

Lois

How intelligent they both really are, not many see that.

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

1. Lunas and Donnelly POV because i just really really want to be in their heads 2. just being able to go back into the addicted/calloway/like us world

Angelie M. Flores Cruz

Luna & Charlie's friendship and how Donnelly views Farrow. Oh! and Luna and Donnelly admitting their feelings for each other

Daniela

Aside from the Lunnelly content, I’m really looking forward to the Donnelly + Hale family interactions (Donnelly being Xander’s bodyguard, Lily being the mother Donnelly DESERVES, even Donnelly and Lo interactions despite uh the tension) BUT i’m also excited to see any possible interactions between Donnelly and the Cobalt Empire… I mean the man has “Cobalts Never Die” tattooed on him and he calls Connor “Papa Cobalt”… TO Connor😭

Tania Jeraldo

I just really really wish that Donnelly has the family that he needs and deserves ❤️ and i'm hoping 🙏🏽 that Lo will be someone important to him maybe not in the first book but going into the second and third book. I really want Lo to be a father figure for him. Of course waiting for the slow burn love between Luna, the tension,passion and friendship and the interaction between Farrow,Oscar and Xander.

Courtney Kaelin

I’m sooooo excited to see Luna and Lo’s relationship and how Lilly and Moffy react to the news 👀👀👀ALSO more ripely content and hopefully see Jane and Moffys new kids!!!

Courtney Kaelin

I must know though…..if you could change anything ab how you wrote the Addicted/Calloway sister series, what would you change? (Content, character, or storyline-wise)

Ellieeeee

AHHHHH IM SO EXCITEDDDD. I’m excited to read Luna and Donnelly’s inner dialogue, hopefully some Xander, the friendship between the troublemakerssss, the Lo and Donnelly Angst, maybe some Angst between Beckett and Donnelly, the Yale boyssss, and so much moreeee 👽✨💖

Theresa

Excited to get Donnelly and Luna's pov's

Nicole

Everyone talks about how Lo is going to react but I really can't wait to see what Lily thinks

Alice Berlin

Looking forward to literally everything! Seeing Luna and Donelly’s POVs for the first time, Hale family dynamics from a new POV, Yale boys scenes, Farrow and Luna’s friendship, Charlie and Luna’s friendship, Beckett and Donnelly angst, the troublemaker trio, and more!!

Alice Berlin

Can’t wait for the Luna and Donnelly bonus scenes too! It’s a Misfits filled month!

Heather Francis

So excited for everything! Internally freaking out we’re finally so close!

madzz

I want Lunelly and the Hales and Yale boys. After Lunelly we won't see a lot of the Hales for a while. Donnelly is the last single Yale boy. So yeah for the next 3 like us books I will read all of these dynamics.

Hailey

I’m excited to learn more about Donnelly’s background (even if it’ll make me ball my eyes out he deserves better), more of the Yale trio.

hannah

Literally counting down the days! So excited to dive in to their story to see where this goes ❤️

Erica Ruiz

The scene I can read over and over again in DLU is the car ride home from the club. Marrow’s first kiss.. I can’t wait to see Lunnelly give in to their desires.. Also, LOREN’S reaction when he finds out!! Will there be a need for spider monkey Lily??

Sarah

I’m looking forward to the drama and seeing other characters in their world. I love Farrow and Maximoff and the others but I want to see Donnelly’s interactions when he’s not around omega, like when he was getting signatures for Ripley’s adoption.

Shaaayxp

Who is Harriet? 😭

space babe

the girl drummer that auditioned for tom's band in ILU. kbr said one of the future couples is inspired by a movie called some kind of wonderful, i asked if harriet was that girl (if you watch the movie you'll see why) and they confirmed it. she's not Kinney's li (i asked and they said she isn't) so that leaves ben or xander. personally i think she'd be really cute with xander but it's just a guess. also she's 17 and so is xander mayyyyybe they'll meet at school 👀👀

Gabriela Seguesse

Aside from Lunnelly, obviously, I'm excited to see Luna interacting with her siblings and cousins, especially Janie and Sul, I love their friendship! ♡

Shaaayxp

Thanks! I went back to ILU so I now remember who Harriet is. I also read the plot of the movie and I'm now a bit confused because I can't imagine how it would play out in the series 😭 I wonder if I read the wrong movie plot.

space babe

the main guy asks his friend (girl drummer) to help him ask some other girl out and he obviously ends up falling for his friend in the way😭❤️

Megan

They've said previously that Misfits will pick up before the time jump. It'll start right around when Sulli Akara and Banks get "married" at the beach

Kelly Chase

Thanks! I'm new to the Patreon and there's information overload. 😂

Kaitlyn Pasi

i’m really looking forward to the moments in the book where donnelly is encouraging/admiring luna for being herself. also really looking forward to seeing luna and lo’s relationship develop more

Teresa

Hello Krista and becca iam most excited about and i dont know if this will be in Misfits, but iam looking forward to meeting Donnelly family, even if theyre not good people, we need to meet more Donnelly's. Will we be getting 2 chapters of Misfits or just the one? I know you guys weren't trying to write long books anymore, so how many pages is Misfits? And I know this maybe considered spoilerly but I have to ask does Donnelly come from a big family or a small one?

A spector

Odds over/under on another limo birth?

Deniz

I keep refreshing the page in the hope of seeing new content. I cannot wait for Misfits!

Annette

Everything, the whole process of how they fall in love

Teresa

1.Will you ladies write a bonus scene of the first time Sulli gives birth? 2. Also a bonus scene of Luna's birth with Lorens POV soon? 3. A bonus scene of when Oscar meets Donnelly and Farrow?

Haley H

Will there be a special bonus scene for 2,500 patreon members

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We're hoping this week 💕 It'll depend on processing times, but we'll put up links in the next Fizz Hangout for it xoxo

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you for being a part of the 2500 subscribers, Andrea!! It's such a dream to us, and we've appreciated your support sooo much throughout the years 🥰🥰

Krista & Becca Ritchie

The stock just sold out about a week ago, so we won't be offering any more character notes for Infamous Like Us. We were offering them until the stock lasts, but on a plus side, Luna & Donnelly's character notes will available for Misfits ❤️

Krista & Becca Ritchie

What Megan said! Misfits Like Us picks up right around the wedding ceremony for Sulli, Akara, and Banks from Infamous Like Us ❤️ xoxo

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Omg haven't seen the finale yet 😆 Haven't had time to finish. But I literally SOBBED at the last episode. The generational women bonds good me right in the heart. ~ B

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We're just posting the First Chapter for Misfits (we don't want to give too much away ☺️) It's around the same size as Headstrong Like Us & Lovers Like Us. We're still formatting the paperback book, but we know word count wise, it's closest to those two xoxo Ah that last question might be a matter of perspective. Does he have many cousins? Yes. Is he an only child who would prefer to be 100000 miles away from his family? Yes.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

1. Possibly if/when we reach closer to that timeline (or if the inspiration strikes earlier) 2. we don't have plans for this one since there's likely other Loren POV scenes we'd be more apt to write beforehand 3. yes, we totally want to write this one at some point

Marisol Y

I can’t wait to read mlu! I’m so excited I might burst into tears any moment now lmao. When will you post the what to expect podcast and the first chapter????
