On the last episode of the season Niamh and Grace are tackling The Virgin Suicides; the 1993 novel by Jeffrey Eugenides and the iconic 1999 film adapted by Sofia Coppola. We dive in to love and memory, the traumas that form us and how adolescence can turn you into a little goblin weirdo! (This episode is a lot funnier than it sounds we promise!)
