Welcome back to our book club podcast, where we pair great reads with themed drinks and unfiltered conversation. In this episode, we’re diving into the second half of The Last Session by Julia Bartz—so if you haven’t finished the book yet, be warned: there are major spoilers ahead!

This half of the novel takes a sharp, wild turn as Thea arrives in New Mexico, and we’re here to unpack all the twists, turns, and psychological mayhem that unfolds from there. Let’s just say… things get intense. From eerie group dynamics to some deeply disturbing revelations, the second half of the story had us on edge—and slightly tipsy.

As always, we’ve crafted a drink that pairs perfectly with the book’s mood (and, honestly, helps us cope with the chaos), so grab a glass and settle in for a chat full of literary insights, bold opinions, and our usual off-topic tangents. Whether you’re here for deep analysis or just want to hear some unfiltered reactions, we’ve got you covered.

We also want to remind everyone to check the trigger warnings for this book before diving in—it deals with some heavy themes that may not be for everyone. We discuss them briefly in the episode, but your mental well-being comes first.

Thanks for joining us on this storytelling (and sipping) journey. Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share if you enjoy our blend of books and booze. Let us know your thoughts on the ending—because honestly, we’re still recovering.

Cheers to great reads and even better conversations!
