Welcome to Marginally Unwell, the bookish podcast where things start with a plot and end in a spiral. Every Sunday, Gabby and Miranda dive into the books that break us, confuse us, or make us question everything from unhinged thrillers and morally gray characters, to chaotic romances and twisty reads. Expect hot takes, spoilers, way too many tabs, and at least one “wait… WHAT?!” moment per episode. It’s part book club, part therapy session, all vibes. 📚 Come for the recs. Stay for the chaos.Marginally Unwell Art Literary History & Criticism

    Everything Is Icy. Including Relationships.

    This week’s book club pick came courtesy of the TBR jar: The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. Set against a dramatic and isolated backdrop, this one brought a lot to talk about. We dive into how setting can shape a story, the emotional weight of survival themes, and what it’s like to step into a book you know almost nothing about.

    Petty But Make it Romantic
    Jul 13 2025

    This week, we’re diving into stories that begin after the end — breakups, breakdowns, and all the messy, magical ways we reinvent ourselves when life doesn't go to plan. We’re talking fresh starts, emotional resets, and why rock bottom sometimes makes the best foundation. Featuring our review of Funny Story by Emily Henry, a perfect pick for anyone who’s ever had to start over — with wine, wit, and maybe a little spite.

    The Lake Isn’t Just a Lake, It’s a Metaphor (Also a Body Dump)

    This week, we left our book choice to the TBR jar and ended up with The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager. We’re unpacking what it’s like to roll the dice on your next read — the good, the bad, and the “wait, what?” moments.

    Spoiler: sometimes randomness delivers… and sometimes it just makes for an interesting conversation.
