Ep 279: Disappoint Me by Nicola Dinan

Anna and Annie discuss the success of Rebecca Yarros’s new book ONYX STORM, the third in the Emperyean series.  Annie gives her views about why they have been huge best-sellers and the popularity of romantasy. Our book of the week is DISAPPOINT ME by Nicola Dinan. This buzzy new novel by the author of BELLIES centres around Max, a 30 year-old trans woman who starts dating Vincent but is unsure whether she is cut out to be a trad wife. Chosen as a ‘Best Book of 2025’ by Stylist, Vogue, GQ, Elle and Cosmopolitan, this is funny, moving and original. We loved it. Coming up: THE SEASON by Helen Garner Follow us!
