This week, we’re diving into Two Truths and a Lie by Annie Abel — a book that had us questioning everything… including our own emotional stability.

We’re talking:

• enemies-to-lovers tension that feels personally targeted
• chaotic men with suspiciously soft centres
• and the very real question… who exactly would drag us into a life of chaos, and why are we saying yes so quickly?

Expect strong opinions, questionable life choices, and at least one moment where we fully reconsider our standards.

Grab your cosiest drink, settle in, and come spiral with us — because honestly, if chaos looks like that, we might be in trouble.

This week we’re joined by author Billie Jade Kermack, chatting about her book Veiled Obsessions, the inspiration behind it, and what it’s really like writing stories that live rent-free in readers’ heads.

Along the way we get into the usual cosy chaos, including writing chat, bookish confessions, and the kind of tangents that make perfect sense at the time but sound completely unhinged afterwards.

Meanwhile, Rosie’s Bit on the Side takes a particularly surreal turn this week with a story about a bag of groceries that… becomes a man. As one does.

Pop the kettle on and settle in for an episode full of books, laughter, mild confusion, and a perfectly reasonable amount of questioning how we ended up discussing humanoid groceries in the first place.

Join us for Episode Twelve of The Cosy Cup Book Club.

This week on The Cosy Cup Book Club, Katy and Rosie dive into Lights Out by Navessa Allen, a dark romance that proves the line between terrifying and tantalising is apparently very thin. Expect chaotic opinions, questionable life advice inspired by fictional men, and the usual honest reactions when a book decides to absolutely unhinge itself halfway through.

We attempt to answer the very important question: should anyone actually take life advice from romance novels… or would that lead to immediate disaster?

Grab a cosy drink and join us for an episode full of dark romance discussion, ridiculous hypotheticals, and the kind of fictional wisdom that probably shouldn’t be applied in real life. 📚☕

This week we are joined by author Jadella Gold to chat about her book Cute Little Hand Grenade, a story that packs far more punch than its title politely suggests. We talk about the inspiration behind the book, the characters that refuse to behave themselves, and the kind of plot twists that leave you staring at the page thinking, “well… that escalated quickly.”

As always, things take a slight detour when Rosie brings Rosie’s Bit on the Side, this time discussing Cold Sweat and an unexpectedly memorable jug-related moment that absolutely demanded further investigation.

Expect books, chaos, questionable observations, and the usual Cosy Cup energy. Pop the kettle on. ☕📚

We’re doing a full deep-dive into Deep End by Ali Hazelwood — the tension, the tropes, the chemistry that could power the National Grid, and the moments that had us pausing to stare dramatically into the middle distance. Is it peak Hazelwood? Is it feral? Is it soft? Is it both? We discuss.

There is, of course, chaos.

And because we can never stay on topic for long, we also answer the extremely important, civilisation-defining question:

Which fictional character would you trust to plan your wedding?

Would you go full spreadsheet control freak? Soft-hearted romantic? Unhinged wildcard? Someone who’d elope you to Vegas by accident? We debate, we disagree, we absolutely judge each other’s choices.

Expect:
• Bookish analysis with just enough depth to justify the title
• Mild chaos
• Strong opinions
• Possibly questionable wedding planning decisions

Pop the kettle on and join us.

This week on The Cosy Cup Book Club, we’re joined by author Merel van der Calk to chat about her romantasy novel Veiled in Grey — secrets, tension, morally questionable decisions, and the kind of emotional damage we absolutely signed up for.

Meanwhile, Rosie’s Bit on the Side takes a truly unhinged turn into literary territory nobody asked for but everyone now has to live with: a story about a sentient pillow. Yes. A pillow. With thoughts. And feelings. And frankly more emotional availability than most fictional men.

Cosy drink in hand, judgement firmly suspended, and dignity left at the door — come join the book club you don’t have to do the reading for.

This week we’re diving into First Time Caller

We chat first impressions, emotional damage, romantic tension, and the characters we would one hundred per cent argue with in real life. Is confidence attractive or just loud? Who thinks they’re mysterious but is actually just bad at communicating? And which book boyfriend would crumble the second he heard “you’re live on air”?

As always, expect strong opinions, mild delusion, questionable loyalty to problematic favourites, and at least one character we defend far more passionately than they deserve.

Pop the kettle on. We’re taking calls.

This week, Katy and Rosie are joined by S. J. Gathercole for a chat about her gripping novel The People We Trust. They dig into messy friendships, buried secrets, and those unsettling moments when the people closest to you might not be quite who you think they are.

Meanwhile, in Rosie’s Bit on the Side, things take a turn… skyward. A cloud. A sexy cloud. We’re not saying it awakens anything, but we’re also not not saying that. It’s whimsical, it’s slightly unhinged, and it raises far more questions than it answers.

Pop the kettle on, get comfy, and join us for an episode that’s equal parts trust issues, author insight, and unexpected atmospheric attraction.
