In this book club episode of Literature on the Rocks, we unpack Don’t Let Her Stay by Nicola Sanders and dive into everything the ending left us arguing about.

We talk about the cracks in Joanne and Richard’s marriage, how Chloe’s presence amplifies existing tension, and whether being polite can sometimes be the most dangerous choice. From ignored red flags to unreliable truths, this story had us questioning who to believe right up to the final page.

We also get real about what it actually takes to make a marriage work — forgiveness, cooperation, and respect — especially when trust starts to slip.

Full spoilers, hot takes, and one ending we’re still debating. Grab the Blood Relative cocktail and join the conversation. 🥂
