Welcome to Books and Boards Pod! Long distance sisters Kayla and Rachel love nothing more than a good book and a board full of their favorite snacks. Living so far apart, they got tired of texting about their latest reads - so now they’re here to talk about it! If you love stories and snacks, this podcast is for you! A book club for people without one, if you will. From mystery to romance and everything in between, this podcast pairs well with a cozy spot, a charcuterie board, and a community of fellow book lovers. In each episode, you can expect Kayla and Rachel to cover the ins and outs of their current read, while working through discussion questions and sharing their own silly stories along the way. Each episode, you’ll leave with questions of your own to think about and/or bring back to your own book club. Tune in every other Tuesday for some quality time… book club style! Make sure to follow along @booksandboardspod on Instagram to stay up to date with what they are reading, which book is next on the shelf, and how to curate the perfect charcuterie board to pair with the current read.

The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo

In this episode of Books and Boards, Kayla and Rachel cover The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo. They dive deep into all the complex emotions this book brought with it and discuss the role of fate vs. free will! In the next episode, they'll be covering The Housemaid by Freida McFadden, a bestselling psychological thriller that will get you in the spooky spirit just in time for October!

BOOK CLUB QUESTIONS:

How did you feel like the writing style changed or enhanced the emotional impact of the story?
How do you think Lucy evolved throughout the novel, and what events do you think were the most pivotal to her growth?
One of the main themes of the book involved fate and free will. Do you think the events in Lucy’s life are guided more by fate or her own choices?
What do the difference in Lucy’s relationships with Darren and Gabe reveal about her desires and needs?
We didn’t necessarily get to see what happened in the aftermath of Gabe’s death, but were you satisfied with what we did get to see in terms of how Lucy’s “journey” concluded in the book?
