Psychoanalyzing Xaden & the Existential Crisis of Choosing a City

Mia & Karly are still deep in their Onyx Storm hangover, so naturally, it’s time for a full-blown therapy session psychoanalyzing Xaden Riorson. The girls discuss his mommy and daddy issues, his self-sacrificing streak, and his relationship with Violet. But let’s be honest, they’re really just here to swoon over yet another shadow daddy book boyfriend. Spoilers for Onyx Storm are included in this episode!

Based on a real life conversation held last weekend on Mia’s couch, the girls are rehashing the dilemma of where the hell to move next. As single twenty-something women, the world is technically our oyster—but how do you actually decide where to live? Mia & Karly are breaking down the important factors like career opportunities, cost of living, public transport (looking at you, NYC), and whether we need an emotional support friend group nearby. Are we chasing adventure or stability? And more importantly… is the food scene good?
