  • Summary

  • In this episode, Desiree and Morgan discuss The Girls by Emma Cline, a haunting coming-of-age novel inspired by the infamous Manson family. Set against the backdrop of 1960s California, the story follows Evie Boyd, a lonely teenager drawn into the magnetic orbit of a dangerous cult.


    We delve into the novel’s exploration of loneliness, longing, and the seductive power of belonging. How does Cline’s lush prose capture the innocence and darkness of Evie’s journey? What does The Girls say about the vulnerability of adolescence and the blurred lines between empowerment and manipulation?


    Desiree and Morgan reflect on the novel’s chilling atmosphere, its timeless themes, and the enduring fascination with cult dynamics.


    Please note that we do record under the assumption that you've read the book and do discuss details and spoilers freely!
