February 14, 2022 Chapter 42: Trauma Dumping | Verity
This week we discuss decided to explore a genre we were wary about: thriller ! We freaked out over the chilling writing of Verity and discuss the ethics of trauma dumping, what qualifies as terrifying, and how deeply disturbed Colleen Hoover must be to write this book. Doris also reveals some childhood trauma related to sleepwalking, which leads to Anya questioning her sanity.
Disclaimer!! Verity is a very messed up book (as seen by the episode title lol) and there are a lot of content warnings including but not limited to child abuse, death, and cheating. Viewer discretion is advised!
