About this episode
The episode explores complex feelings about books that evoke strong reactions, whether positive or negative.
Sometimes we read a book and we're not sure we liked it, but we can't stop thinking about it. Sometimes we deeply hated it and we want to talk about it. Sometimes we LOVED it, despite it being the most devastating read of our lives. Will we ever handsell them to you? Only if you ask really, really nicely.
