It’s the last Friday of May, which means it’s time to discuss T Kira Madden’s novel Whidbey!

Host Greta Johnsen talks to self-professed T Kira stan Kristen Arnett, the author of several novels. (Her most recent book, Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One, is especially wonderful!)

They unpack what makes this complex novel so readable: nuanced themes, compelling characters, tangible sense of place, and propulsive plot.

TRIGGER WARNING: This book deals with themes of child sexual abuse, which we discuss. 

SPOILER ALERT: This episode includes spoilers for the book. If you haven’y read it yet a nd you don’t want to know what happens, listen to the spoiler-free author interview here.
