On this episode, Carrie, Michael, and guest-host Charlotte discuss So Far Gone by Jess Walter, one of the prompts on the Spring Books & Bites Bingo reading challenge.

This witty, suspenseful, and timely novel follows a reclusive journalist who goes on a quest to rescue his kidnapped grandchildren. It not only features a road trip, the audiobook makes a great pick for a road trip thanks to Eduardo Ballerini's narration.
