With no listener feedback, we're riding solo on this Book Club outing, but there's no shortage of things to talk about! We discuss the unconventional stylistic structure (non-linear, multiple perspectives and a touch of magical realism), as well as how the book negotiates trauma and grief.

There's also talk of about absent parents, small towns and just how damn good King is at writing both teens and adults.  For anyone who didn't read along, we really recommend this one!

Plus: Brenna provides an overview of King's work and how it has changed, which contributes to an extended discussion speculating why her work has never been adapted for TV or film.
