The Villa Book Club

It’s time for our first book club of 2023! This month we’re talking about The Villa by Rachel Hawkins. We’ve heard a lot from our listeners about this book, and we’re so excited to talk about it finally!   We share our thoughts about the two timelines, our theories about the ending, and play amazing listener voicemails with thoughts and theories about the book. We also discuss what sets The Villa apart from a typical thriller, how it plays with the idea of the self-help guru, and how this book was inspired by the circumstances in which Frankenstein was written.     If you liked The Villa, you might love The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins, Groupies by Sarah Priscus, and Sister Stardust by Jane Green.   Obsessions Olivia: Puffer vests Becca: Halfbaked Harvest Creamy White Chicken Chili   What we read this week!
