The Pisces

It's not every day you pick up a book about people having sex with a fish. But if you're listening to this podcast you've probably read Melissa Broder's book The Pisces , and you're probably here because, well, you need to talk about the fact that a woman had sex with a merman. On this episode, Jessie is joined by her twin sister Clare and they have a lot of questions... What do you do when you fall in love with a merman? How many metaphors were there in this book and did we understand them all? How do you actually have sex with a merman? Why oh why did they have to kill the dog? And should there have even been a merman in this storyline? Let's find out... Remember, this is a Book Club, so we're assuming if you're listening you've read the book too. That means there will be spoilers, so if you haven't read it, grab a copy, get reading and join us after you've turned the last page. We'll be right here waiting for you!
