This week Rina and Toschka discuss a freshly published novel "Exit Party" by Emily St. John Mandel. Is it a masterpiece? Does it give us an interesting piece of mind? Well, listen to find out. P.S. there is a wink from Rina to fans of Alfred Hitchcock somewhere in the episode. Rather obvious one, but still.

We (Toschka) do not really know how and why it happened, but we took a look into "Midnight Sun", the revival of Twilight written from Edwards perspective. As children of the early 2000s we just had to. Also, Rina gives us some excellent book recs for the strong female willpower and we discuss, as always, the weather. Just because we can.

Rina insists that this episode is cursed: not only did we record the first half with the wrong mic, but editing it almost broke Rina's laptop.

Anyway, join us to discuss "The Mars House" by Natasha Pulley. Let yourself be surprised by Rina's cat giving her PURRRfect comment.
