In this episode of Bad Ass Bookclub Podcast, Katie and Ashley are continuing their mental health (semi- unserious) discussion as they consider unreliable narrators, unstable minds and multiple realities.
Ashley is engulfed in Bret Easton Ellis’ immersive psychological thriller, The Shards. We address the idea of the unreliable narrator and mull over the presence of personality disorders in the main character (remember, we’re not doctors), and of course Ashley has some predictions, hopes and dreams for the highly anticipated big reveal as she comes closer to the final chapters.
Katie breaks down the breakdown that is Ward D by Freida McFadden. In true Freida style, the twists kept twisting until the very last sentence. BIG surprises are revealed, keeping Ashley at the edge of her seat!
We wrap up The Midnight Library in the perfect little package that it is, thanks to Matt Haig’s precious writing, and top it with a bow…AKA our hilarious game of Pass or Slide. Listen now to find out which saucy invention has Katie’s hypothetical, business woman life in a tizzy.
