Dive into the gritty, acid-soaked world of Emma Cline's 'The Girls' with the Squad. Get in the Mansony mood by taking the Which Famous Serial Killer Are You? quiz with us. Then we discuss Cline's writing style and why we love our narrator, Evie, and explore Evie's complex relationships with the various female characters in the book. (Bonus: you get to hear a bit about what the Squad members were like as teenage girls!) We get into the real story of the Manson Family and the character of Russell, the cult leader from 'The Girls.' Plus, hear what we're into lately, what's on our #BookSquadBlog, and what's coming up in our next episodes. Don't forget to listen to Emily on the latest episode of 'Everything Trying to Kill You,' and be sure to enter our giveaway for 'The Book of Speculation.'
