All Books, No Chill
All Books No Chill is a solo-host book podcast for people who read to feel something and then need to talk about it immediately. Each episode dives into one book at a time—celebrating beautiful writing, unpacking big feelings, and openly grieving bad endings.
This isn’t a plot summary podcast. It’s a conversation about why stories matter, how books help us find friendship, and what happens when a story misses the mark. Expect chaotic honesty, emotional spirals, feminist rage, quiet heartbreak, and recurring segments like Would I Recommend This to My Therapist?
If you’ve ever finished a book and wished you had someone to scream about it with—welcome. You’re among friends.

Ep. 8 Half His Age
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
