We read The Perfect Marriage and The Perfect Divorce so you don’t have to (or so you can feel validated if you did). From wild twists to morally questionable decisions, we’re unpacking Sarah Morgan as a character, the chaos of these plots, and whether anything in this series is actually “perfect” 

This episode is not only a double feature, but we have our first guest to the show, poet and good friend of mine, J M Oak. This episode discusses his poetry that dives into themes of mental health and bipolar disorder, as well as the love for his husband and journey through this crazy thing we call life. 

 A light, slightly sappy dive into Funny Story by Emily Henry (aka the ultimate palette cleanser read). I’m talking cute, easy, emotionally safe… and maybe just a little lacking in chaos. If you want soft romance with minimal emotional damage, this one’s for you. 

In this episode, we’re talking about Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy, not my favorite. 

It’s heavy on teen angst, messy choices, and a relationship that’s more uncomfortable than compelling. I get what it was doing (and it does it well), but I still walked away feeling grossed out and annoyed.

If you’ve ever hated a book that was technically good… this is that.

Today’s episode is about The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict — a book that made me go from “wow, what a beautiful intellectual love story” to “oh I suddenly hate this man.”

We’re talking about Mileva Marić, the brilliant physicist who studied alongside Albert Einstein before he became… well, Einstein.

Today we’re discussing Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir — also known as one man doing math in space for 400 pages.

I liked it… I think?
 But I’m also convinced it’s going to be a better movie.

We’ll talk science, space friendship, and whether this is a book I’d recommend to my therapist.

This is your warning: The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros is not a light romance. It’s grief. It’s guilt. It’s devastating. In this episode, I break down the letters, the betrayal, the twist, and the moment that shattered me. Five stars. Emotional damage. No recovery plan. 

In this episode of All Books No Chill, we’re unpacking The Housemaid by Freida McFadden beyond the twists and shock value. We talk about power and control, who gets believed, and how abuse can hide in plain sight behind money, respectability, and closed doors. It’s fast-paced, unsettling, and way more thought-provoking than it first appears—so let’s get into it. 

In this episode of All Books No Chill, I’m diving into Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult, a pandemic novel that hit a little closer to home than I expected. What starts as a story about art, ambition, and a once-in-a-lifetime trip quickly turns into something much heavier, asking big questions about grief, identity, and what happens when the life you planned disappears overnight.

We talk plot twists (yes, that one), the emotional whiplash of reading pandemic fiction post-2020, and why the first half of this book completely worked for me… while the ending left me conflicted. I also unpack themes of art, meaning, burnout, and how easy it is to lose ourselves chasing the “right” version of adulthood.

This week on All Books No Chill, we’re talking Salem’s Fall by Rechtok Ross, a book with great vibes, strong storytelling, and an ending that I simply could not get behind. Come for the love, stay for the rant, and join me as I process how a book can be so good and still fumble the landing. 

 Welcome to All Books No Chill. In this intro episode, Hannah explains why this podcast exists, what “no chill” book talk really means, and how stories help us find connection—even when they break our hearts. Expect passion, opinions, and zero emotional restraint. 

This week on All Books No Chill, we’re unpacking The Dictionary of Lost Words—a book about lost language, overlooked women, and the quiet fury of being unheard. Expect emotional spirals, thoughts about bad endings, and a very honest Would I Recommend This to My Therapist? segment.
