Books, Tea and Therapy

Dive into a story that keeps you guessing the whole way through. It may be a short read but we still had so much to talk about, and that ending left us with more questions than answers. As always we wander into many a tangent and our mascot Reggie is front and centre. Grab a cuppa and let’s delve into Parallel by Ellie O’Roark ☕️🩷

Happy St Patrick’s Day! 🍀 This week on Books, Tea and Therapy we’re discussing Since We’re Here by Chrissy Hopewell - a romantic story set in the beautiful backdrop of Ireland. The book follows a woman who travels there and finds that sometimes the most unexpected trips can lead to the most unexpected connections. It’s a story about love, timing, and the way chance encounters can change the course of our lives.

In this episode we talk about the romance at the heart of the story, the Irish setting that makes it such a perf...

On this week’s episode of Books, Tea and Therapy, we’re talking all about In Between Darkness by MJ Castleton*.

We explore the atmosphere, the emotional intensity, and the character relationships that drive the story, sharing the moments that stood out most to us. One of us didn’t quite get to the end — simply ran out of time — but we still have plenty to unpack and reflect on.

It’s a thoughtful, honest conversation about the book, the genre, and how it made us feel, with our usual natural back-and-for...

This week on Books, Tea and Therapy we’re getting a little Valentine’s themed with Signs of Cupidity by Raven Kennedy — a funny, chaotic fantasy about a Cupid who just wants to be loved, instead of being the one to spread it.

We talk about why this book completely won us over, the humour, the heart, and what it actually says about love. As always, we also catch up on real life — including our current sourdough starter hyperfixation and the questionable decisions that come with it.

A little romance, a little chaos, and a lot of t...

This week on Books, Tea and Therapy, we’re diving into The Deal by Elle Kennedy — a college hockey romance packed with fake dating, sharp banter, slow-burn chemistry, and surprising emotional depth. We explore Garrett and Hannah’s relationship, the way the romance develops, and how the book handles heavier themes alongside humour and spice. We also talk tropes, character growth, and why this story has remained such a favourite within the romance genre. A relaxed, thoughtful discussion with honest opinions and just a touch of our usual tangents along the way 🏒

Apologies for the sound quality! Technical issues with the microphones which we obviously didn’t realise until after!

Diving into a debut novel all about the challenges parents have as they raise young children. We talk all things balance, communication and relatability as we delve into this one!

One to read for mums and dads of young children in nursery & preschool, as well as those stay at home parents, you’re not on your own in how you’re feeling !

On this week’s chapter of Books, Tea and Therapy…

We’re diving into The Christmas Fix by Lucy Score — a cosy, chaotic small-town romance packed with festive drama, grumpy–sunshine energy, and just the right amount of spice. We chat about the chemistry, the Christmas chaos, and all the moments that had us grinning like idiots.

And, as always, expect a few tangents, plenty of laughter, and some very strong opinions about holiday traditions — because we can’t help ourselves.

Grab a brew, get comfy, and join us as we unwrap this warm and feel...

On this week’s chapter of Books, Tea and Therapy…

We’re diving into He Sees You When You’re Sleeping by Alta Hensley — the twisty, spicy, slightly-unhinged holiday read that definitely isn’t your average Christmas cosy. We chat about the characters, the obsessive vibes, the jaw-drop moments, and how this book somehow manages to feel festive and feral at the same time.

Of course, we sprinkle in our usual waffle, a few questionable theories, and the type of commentary that would get us put on Santa’s naughty list… but we keep it clean enough not...

In this week’s episode, we dive into How My Neighbour Stole Christmas by Meghan Quinn — the festive, rom-com twist inspired by The Grinch himself. We chat about everything from the book’s naughty-and-nice moments to the characters that made us scream, giggle and roll our eyes in true “Books, Tea and Therapy” fashion.

We also debate about Christmas music, including how Elouise’s least favourite Christmas song just so happens to be Hannah’s absolute favourite. And of course, we couldn’t talk festive vibes without going off on a tangent about our go-to Christmas films...

On this week’s chapter, we’re breaking down Annie Bot — from the emotional hits to the questionable character choices, and how the book echoes tricky relationship patterns. And yes, we still go off on about 47 tangents because focus is not our strong point.

This week we read The Pumpkin Spice Café — a cosy small-town romance that gave us all the autumn feels. We chat about the story (kind of), share our random thoughts, and end up talking about a load of other stuff along the way. ☕💬

Happy Halloween! 🕷️ Nothing says spooky season like morally grey men, haunted plots, and us completely losing the plot. Join us as we chat about the most unhinged moments from Lights Out, Haunting Adeline, Little Stranger and more — with our usual chaos, of course.

When a weekend away with friends turns sinister, no one is safe — and nothing is as it seems. Girls’ Trip by Jason Letts is a tense psychological thriller that had us questioning everything, especially when the story opens with a mystery: who’s really talking to the police? We both read this one through completely different lenses, spotting clues the other missed — and for the first time ever, one of us didn’t make it to the end. 👀

In this week’s episode, we dive headfirst into Deep End by Ali Hazelwood — and let’s just say… we had thoughts. From spicy poolside scenes to the emotional chaos Ali never fails to deliver, we unpack it all.

But of course, it wouldn’t be Books, Tea & Therapy without a few tangents — so expect plenty of off-topic chaos as we somehow end up discussing Fifty Shades of Grey, real-life relationship dynamics, and the books that shaped our inner romantics (and our red flags 👀).

Grab your tea (or something stronger), because this episode is...

This week we’re diving into The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros – and fair warning, this one is an emotional rollercoaster. We unpack the love story of Beckett and Ella, the heartbreak, the letters that changed everything, and the moments that left us both sobbing into our cups of tea.

Expect our usual chaotic mix of:

☕ Honest reactions (yes, tears were shed).

📚 Thoughts on grief, love, and healing.

✨ Favourite quotes + gut-punch moments.

🎙️ Tangents, laughter, and some very real talk along the way.

If you’ve read The...

This week we’re diving into Hooking Tink by Holly Roberds — a dark, magical retelling that reimagines Captain Hook and Tinkerbell in a way you’ve never seen before 🖤🧚‍♀️⚔️ We talk about everything we loved (and maybe didn’t love) in this twisty fantasy romance, as well as catching you up on what’s been going on in our lives lately.

Expect plenty of bookish chat, our usual chaotic tangents, and a sprinkle of therapy-level honesty along the way 💕

So grab your headphones, settle in with a hot drink, and let’s get into it 🎧✨

Firstly, a quick apology for the sound quality in the last few minutes (tech gremlins 🙃)

This week, we’re diving into Burned by Ivy Jackson 🤠 — a cowboy romance full of small-town charm, family ties, and the sparks that fly when Rhett, a single dad, crosses paths with Poppy. It’s got rugged cowboys, heartfelt moments, and plenty of drama under the wide-open skies. As always, Hannah and Elouise didn’t quite agree on this one 👀 — tune in to hear both sides and see which team you’re on 📚✨

✨ Episode 11 – Enchantra by Kaylie Smith ✨

This week, we’re diving head-first into the magical, deadly, and deliciously dramatic world of Enchantra. From the twisted politics of the Hunt to the slow-burn romance and those jaw-dropping plot twists, we’re talking about it all — the characters we loved, the villains we hated, and the moments that had us gasping out loud. Grab your tea, get comfy, and join us for a spoiler-filled ride through Kaylie Smith’s enchanting (and occasionally infuriating) masterpiece.

With twists, turns and some big triggers this one kept us on our toes! Somehow we ended up on many a tangent including discussing life, death and voicenotes. Grab a cuppa and settle in for a whole host of chaos and some therapy!

In this episode of Books, Tea and Therapy, we dive into Consider Me by Becka Mack — the steamy sports romance that’s taken BookTok by storm. Join us as we unpack Carter Beckett, the bad-boy hockey player with a secret soft side, and Olivia, the strong-willed woman who turns his world upside down.

We talk spicy scenes (you know the ones), emotional moments, character growth, and everything in between. Was Carter redeemable? Did the romance melt our hearts—or just our Kindles? And most importantly, does this book live up to the hype?

G...

“Chapter 8 – Credence: What did we just read?! One girl, one step uncle and 2 step cousins, a whole lot of snow—and absolutely zero sense left in our brains. We spiralled, we screamed, we questioned every decision (the characters’ and our own). It’s unhinged, it’s addictive, and honestly? We couldn’t look away. Grab your headphones and prepare for pure, chaotic energy as we try to unpack the madness that is Credence.”

This week, we’re diving into Verity by Colleen Hoover — dark twists, messy characters, and all the “WTF” moments you could ask for. Was Verity telling the truth? And do we need therapy after reading this? (Absolutely yes.) Grab a brew and join us for the chaos.

Grab your tissues and your tea, because this week Hannah and Elouise are diving heart-first into A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole — the book that emotionally wrecked TikTok and left us crying in the school car park. We talk first loves, soulmates, grief, and the magic of capturing moments in jars (yes, literal jars). This episode is messy, emotional, and pure therapy — exactly how we like it.

Things are getting intense and the red flags are waving! In this episode we dive into all the twists, tension and toxic vibes that have us screaming at the book. Is he charming...or dangerous? Grab your tea and join us as we overanalyse every detail like the nosy bookworms we are!

We read Riding The High and now we're questioning our morals, our sanity, and why we don't live on a ranch.

Join us for laughs, deep dives, and a little bit of therapy - as always.

From college heartbreak and unexpected twists to swoon-worthy romance and serious tear-jerking moments. We're unpacking all the drama.
