Welcome to another episode of It's Lit(erature)!

We are a (chaotic) book club podcast & we welcome all to our weird family!

So come join us for a very casual book discussion!

This week we are discussing the mystery-thriller: The Lost Girls By: Heather Young

This book centers on the mysterious disappearance of young Emily Evans who vanished from her family's vacation home on a remote Minnesota lake in the summer of 1935. This event destroys her mother, who then spends the rest of her life waiting at the lake house for her favorite daughter. Her two other daughters, Lucy and Lilith, also stay at the lake house. Sixty years later, Lucy is living alone in the lake house and decides to write down her account of all that she remembered from the summer Emily disappeared. She also leaves the lake house to her family member Justine. 

This book is told from two different POVs. One being Lucy's POV from the past and the other being Justine's in the present day. Both are connected and they both weave this very twisted, and honestly depressing, tale. This is not an easy book to read but it is very well written. If you do decide you'd like to read it, we would suggest that you check trigger warnings first. If you would just rather listen to us you're more than welcome to! As always, we don't go heavily into too many details but you still get a gist of the story. 

*As with all of our episodes: spoiler warning for the book!*

As always, thanks so much for listening!
