Hi friends. I’m officially doing the thing. I’ve been thinking about starting a podcast forever, and Prattle Peach Bookcast is finally live. It’s cozy, honest, a little messy (in a good way), and just me doing my usual rambling but in audio format.
For the first episode, I’m kicking things off with The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. It’s a psychological thriller that had me begging the main character to stop being so messy and rethinking first impressions.
episode highlights:
- Why I didn’t like Rachel at first… and why I changed my mind
- The moment I realized her ex-husband was the biggest gaslighter of all time
- A Sylvia Plath reference that gave me chills
- A peach rating system you didn’t know you needed
the best quote:
“I want to ring Anna up and remind her that Assia ended up with her head in the oven, just like Sylvia did.”
introducing the peach scale:
I gave The Girl on the Train a solid 4 out of 5 peaches…“ripe and delightful.” It’s twisty, fast-paced, and gave me lots to think (and rant) about.
listen now:
You can find the episode on Spotify here, or at the top of the blog.
If you’ve read this one too, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Did you guess the twist? Were you Team Rachel or ready to throw the book across the room like I was (momentarily)? I read this book on my iPad so I couldn’t actually throw it because that would have been monumentally disastrous. But you know I thought about it.
And if you have recs for what I should read next, leave a comments.
Until next time 🍑
