  • Episode 29 : You & Me and You &Me and You & Me
    Aug 10 2026

    This week we are talking about

    ‘You & Me and You & Me and You & Me’ by Josie Lloyd and Emlyn Reese, a time travelling contemporary novel about a married couple in their 50’s who try to fix their relationship.


    Do they use the tried and tested techniques of communication, understanding and love? Or do they try using mixed tapes to travel back in time and fix each other?

    I bet you can’t guess!

    As per usual we discuss the book in its entirety so it is full of spoilers! Just a little reminder that if you do fancy reading (we always recommend that you do) then please come back to us once you've finished!

    Most importantly - Keep reading!
