We're breaking down Freida McFadden's dark and twisty best-selling thriller, The Housemaid, in this month's book chat. Join Farren, Rachel, and Victoria as we break down -- Was anyone justified in what they did? What would you do if you were in Nina's shoes? Which attic consequence would you choose?

Our first group chat episode! We hope this episode feels like a group chat with your best friends. We catch up and share what we're reading, watching, and listening to lately.

We're back and ready for our year-in-review! We chat about our favorites, least favorites, and 2024 goals. A Back to Lit Class favorite - Farren's (noisy) husband makes a few guest appearances. We also discuss eating in the car, hot socks, and nickel plated cookware. Enjoy!

“The world was made up of people putting one foot in front of the other; and a life might appear ordinary simply because the person living it had been doing so for a long time.”

It's Rachel's birthday pick! Listen in as Victoria is emotionally wrecked by sweet Harold, Farren is distracted by herself on the video chat, and Rachel tries to keep everyone on track.
