Most book lovers underestimate how unprepared they’d be if transported into their favorite fantasy worlds — and we did too. In this hilarious and honest episode, Haley and McCayleigh put their survival skills to the test, exploring everything from battling dragons in Fourth Wing to surviving dystopian nightmares like The Handmaid’s Tale. What happens when these self-proclaimed book girllies face chaos without plot armor, superpowers, or Hogwarts spells? Let’s just say… they wouldn’t last long.

You’ll discover which worlds they think they'd thrive in (spoiler: probably not), and which universes would send them packing in chapter one. They break down their chances of surviving iconic settings like Akatar, The Hunger Games, Crescent City, and Throne of Glass, revealing just how unready book lovers are for real-life fantasy survival. Curious about what it really takes to survive a magic duel, a panicked trek across a parapet, or the a dystopian regime? Prepare for candid insights, laughs, and the realities of a world without their beloved cozy book corners.

We also dive into what these authors and worlds get wrong about survival — and why understanding the harsh truths makes fantasy even more fascinating. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of Sarah J Maas, Suzanne Collins, or Margaret Atwood, this episode is perfect for anyone who’s ever wondered, “Could I survive out there?” and serves as a warning to stay cozy and keep reading.

If you love dreaming about magic, monsters, and dystopias — but prefer staying comfortably on your couch — this episode is your ultimate escape plan. Equip yourself with humor, honesty, and a sprinkle of chaos as Haley and McCayleigh navigate the fantasy realms they’d most likely die in. Ready to see if you’d make it? Hit play and find out why bookish escape artists like you should probably stay in the pages.
