Every summer the Walker family gathers at their ancestral vacation home until one fateful morning where everything shifts. The Paper Palace is a deeply introspective audiobook about choices, memory, and the fragile line between love and responsibility.
In this episode, I dig into:
Elle’s emotional journey as she wakes up to a life-altering truth
The natural beauty and nostalgia of summer’s last days on the island
How past friendships and desires resurface, forcing her to re-examine everything
Why the intimate, introspective narration feels like listening to your closest friend
This isn’t a simple love triangle it’s a meditation on who we are, who we might’ve become, and the quiet moments that define us.
