In this episode of Beyond the Pages, Alyssa Marie discusses the dynamics of Thanksgiving gatherings, focusing on the various unhinged family member tropes that often emerge during the holiday. She humorously explores these tropes, such as the nosy relative, the passive-aggressive aunt, and the conspiracy uncle, while also sharing her own experiences and thoughts on family interactions. The conversation transitions into a discussion about the books Alyssa is currently reading, particularly cozy thrillers and horror, as she reflects on how seasonal changes influence her reading choices.
