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!

With Unlucky Like Us approaching this summer, we're curious to hear how far through everyone is in the Like Us series! So where are you in the series? What's the last book you've read? Or are you still clutching on to the Addicted Series and haven't started it yet?

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, lovelies! We're still kind of shocked that we're a quarter through 2023 already. This year is flying fast! Maybe it feels that way because it's our busiest year yet, but being busy isn't even a bad thing. We're super grateful for all the opportunities that have come our way, and we're holding onto them tight.

Outside of Patreon, we're still in full Luna and Donnelly mode. As soon as we finish up Unlucky Like Us we'll be doing edits for Dishonestly Yours and then heading straight into Nobody Like Us. So most of our drafting/writing brain power is going into Luna and Donnelly, and we're so happy about it! It's so much fun to be inside their heads and Unlucky is...much longer than we anticipated. That always happens on sequels for us! It's like we can restrain ourselves for Book 1, but with the following books we just want to put ALL the juicy details inside. So this is our way of saying, we hope you like big books!

On Patreon this week, we've begun teasing Unlucky! So in case you missed it, here's what went down this week on Patreon:

Farida

i’m up to date with all the books and i’m currently rereading damaged like us for the millionth time

Gabriela Seguesse

I'm all caught up and waiting anxiously for Unlucky!

Haley Secen

Just finished rereading Misfits Like Us and am currently rereading Love & Other Cursed Things! Also you know I’d NEVER complain about a chunky book from you guys. Can you tease roughly how long it is? Fearless/Infamous chunky or closer to Sinful chunk?

Maria

Just ordered all the Like us special editions from the signed store!! 😍 Already had Jane and Moffy but loved adding the rest to the squad! At the moment i'm waiting for Unlucky like us. I finished all the released like us books when infamous like us was just released so this is my second countdown for a new release😍

Sascha

I think i’ve reread misfits like us roughly 8 times at this point 🫣Safe to say i’m excited for unlucky like us to come out haha

Rachel Parsons

I have read all of the books multiple times lol I was literally rereading the triple date scene from misfits this morning!

cass (ben’s version)

funny story… i found addicted to you on september seventeenth of 2021, and by november first of the same year i was already on damaged like us (and i read the bad reputation duet in between the two series). by january third of 2022 i had read all of the addicted, calloway sisters, bad reputation, like us, and areal etherial. at that point only up to infamous was out, but i finished misfits the day it released. i love these books!!! i’ve even reread all of addicted and calloway sisters series, along with the bad reputation duet.

Andrea

Of course I’ve read the entire LU series! Will probably start the reread in June to prepare for Unlucky. Omg every time you say a book ended up longer than planned I do my fake surprised face 😂😂

Sioned

So I’ve read from addicted to you all the way up to some kind of perfect! They tore me apart, obvs 😂 With the like us series I’ve only read charming like us from start to finish. I ADORE that book, Oscar is the goat 🐐 all the others I’ve sort of read and dipped in and out of, I know all the key details and scenes but at the beginning I couldn’t even be bothered to read charming. (🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️) silly me thought “it hasn’t even got any of the kids in the book! Why would I find it entertaining!” Then Charlie and Luna entered the chat and I fell in love with those two!

Megan Garcia de Leon

Read them all 😂😂 so current timeline in the LU universe! But I do have to say I kinda keep the core 6 in there bubble always and forever young 😂 love seeing them as adults but forever young and crazy!

Lauren Gibbs

It's still funny that I got into the universe because I loved the blurb of Damaged Like Us so much when I read it in 2021, but I was a big stickler for reading from the beginning at that time. I started with Addicted to You and worked my way towards DLU and it was just the most fun experience!! I'm all caught up with the Like Us series and I absolutely cannot wait for Unlucky~! <3 <3 I also love seeing that Bluegrass event on the schedule even though it's still a year and a half away haha! I can't wait!! <3

Sioned

I hope it’s infamous chunky! That’ll hopefully mean we get a lot of side character bits

Keatia Savage

I’m on my third reread of MLU. It’s taking longer than usual because I’m constantly having to stop and gush about how precious Luna and Donnelly are! I used to reread the entire Like Us series before each new release but now I just reread the book right before since there are so many (which I’m definitely not complaining about! Please keep them coming lol)

Kayla Reynolds

I started addicted in July of 2022 and then finished MLU in January this year! So this is my first time waiting for a release for the next book and I absolutely cannot wait! Although the Berkley re-releases have helped ;) And I am so happy to hear ULU will be a chunky book, I literally live for that haha!

Kaitlyn Pasi

fully caught up to misfits!!!

Teresa

Hey Ladies I just learned that in order to become a surrogate you had to of had a child before, so does that mean Millie Kay already has a child. Also, I hope with the Lunnelly books wrapping up this year, you plan to release a bonus showing how Donnelly met Oscar! Lastly i hope in Unluku like us we see more of Donnelly friendship with Farrow I can imagine Farrow not being ok with Donnelly going back in with his family.

Evie N

Will Donnelly’s mum make an appearance in unlucky like us or in the third book nobody like us?

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

I’ve read the entirety of the Addicted series the entirety of the Like Us series and im currently reading Bad Reputation!! (And absolutely loving it y’all never miss 💗) I’m so happy Unlucky is long!! also im waiting so impatiently for the misfits special edition and Unlucky teasers and the bonus scene and podcasts!!!

Ellieeeee

That’s probably something they won’t disclose, as it’s supposed to be a surpriseeeee

Lucia scheefer

I love big books especially if it's about luna and donnelly💚

Nimasha

Ah so excited, I’m up to date with the series. I’m actually planning to start a full reread soon 🥰🥰

Rachael

I’ve read everything!! ♥️ I love Maximoff and Farrow’s books’ and reread like 6 times lol 😂 and I’ve listened to the audiobooks.

Indy

Im waiting on unlucky and nobody like us and then I will read misfits like us! So I’m almost finished but I need to read about lunelly back to back because I can’t wait 😂 I’ve read the addicted series as well and I’m planning on reading the circus is family books soon! 💕💕

Lucia

I've read and reread everything hahahaha. And I truly can't wait for unlucky like us, also love that it's a chunky book :))

Zeynep

I love longer books, to me it means I am going to see the main characters more and a greater chance of the side characters popping up. 👀 :)

Christina Colville

I've read up through Infamous Like Us - waiting for all 3 Lunnelly books to start them! Currently going through the Addicted series (will start Kiss the Sky in May), and then maybe re-reading the Like Us Series?

Nicole

I'm at the eagerly awaiting the next one and gonna start the refresher reread soon stage

Illyana

OOO I am caught up on everything (of course ;) and am currently re-reading Bad Rep! It’s so good! Dare I ask, is Garrison more JULIAN/HELLION, than Loren? I do wonder hehe. In other news have you guys caught p to date with all that Frank Ocean/Coachella drama?? I feel so bad for all the fans who were waiting for him so long and years of waiting for a live show and to be delivered just that! It did make me wonder tho, would any of the famous ones go to a rich person’s festival like Coachella? Especially folks like the Meadows? Or would they think it’s disingenuous and for clout chasers? :O :D :3

Kim Tymchyn

I've read the entire Addicted series 2x through and I've completed all the current books out in the Like Us series...I've actually reread Jane's duopoly as well. I'm obsessed with this world! I joined this Patreon to read all the bonus scenes :)

Duda

I’ve read the entire series for maybe 4 times now, but Misfits Like Us, I just finished for the second time and I cried more on the second time than the first! I just want them to be together so badly!

Lindsay Hunter

100% caught up and impatiently - patiently waiting for Unlucky Like Us 💚💜💚 I just want to shake people who stop after reading the addicted series. Lol. The Like Us Series is SO GOOD and we have PATREON!! I may have accidentally spoiled the addicted series for someone by getting too excited about Lunnelly! In my defense, I was asked who my favorite characters were and I basically word vomited “Luna and Donnelly, easily.” 🤣😂 If one was reading the addicted series, is it not common knowledge that their children get a series?! Gahh, if only I had a time capsule! Whooops! 😅

sofia

yesss I second the bonus with Donnelly meeting Oscar! 🤭😁🫶🏼

sofia

when will we know the date for Unlucky? i just wanna know so I have time to put off for work 😂

Sascha

you’re so real for this sofia

sofia

just doing my service for lunnelly nation 🫡

Jess

Read all of the Like Us books

Meagan

I’ve read it all! I’m doing a reread now gearing up for ULU. This will be my third reread of the whole series but I have read MLU probably 6 times now. I’m on Some Kind of Perfect but going slow. The current book I’m reading on my Kindle is Powerless by Elsie Silver.

Riyaak

I’ve read all of the books!! I tried holding out until Luna and Donnelly’s books came out but I couldn’t help myself!! Also, I’m currently rereading the series and I’m on alphas like us Chp 34 and I was wondering if we’ll ever get a pov of the meeting that the parents had about Samantha Calloway?

Teresa

An idea for a podcast ladies Favorite and least favorite to absolutely horrible horror movies for our Like us characters

Sioned

Question: do they mean it’s coming out today (lunally cover) or just this week? xxx

Sioned

Question: do they mean it’s coming out today (lunally cover) or just this week?

Lois

Me too❤

Teresa

The special addition of Misfits like us cover is coming this week

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We're still polishing so we can't say just yet bc we *might* delete some things, but if that does happen, we might actually be able to post the deleted chapters on Patreon. We think it'll be around Charming/Infamous size. Fearless is the biggest book in the Like Us series by like roughly 6k words larger than Infamous ❤️

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Lolol 😂😂 There's no one book that ended up being shorter than planned, that's for sure ha!

cass (ben’s version)

i love y’all’s books so much!! and now with all these bonus chapters and podcasts i have access to i’m in heaven. thank you guys so much for the world you have built!! cant wait for unlucky!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Krista & Becca Ritchie

You'll learn more about Millie Kay in the next books and as we write more bonuses in the timeline 💗 Love that you want to see Donnelly meeting Oscar! That is a bonus we hope to write in the future too. Farrow-Donnelly friendship is a very big part of Unlucky Like Us

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Garrison does have some Hellion vibes, doesn't he? 💗We haven't been tuning into any Coachella news, so we're totally under a rock with that stuff. (Under a writing rock? Lol, our writing cave is a nice place to be, but we miss so much stuff here 😆) There are characters who might want to check out Coachella, but they also feel more at home at Philly festivals, which is why they go to ones in their own city 💕💕💕

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Aww thank you, Lindsay! And Angelina!! Your love of the Like Us series gives us life! 💕💕

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We'll be announcing it with the cover reveals 💕 Likely in May or early June (this is an estimate though)

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We can add that to our suggestion list, especially since we're doing more Core 6 POVs on Patreon xoxo

Sioned

🤯🥳 *prepares to melt with love*

Sioned

Ayyy I would love if you were able to post them on here. It would be like lunelly bonuses and we don’t have many of those 😍
