Do you follow the instructions on your shampoo bottle? Do you actually REPEAT? If so, you may notice that a good lather is easily achieved the second time around. The same might be true with relationships! This clever metaphor sets the stage for this week's novel, a story your hosts classify as a "beach read" and are not overly enthusiastic about.

Every crime has multiple perspectives.... you could even call them Elements. John Boyne tells the stories of four heinous acts, from the viewpoints of Enabler, Accomplice, Perpetrator and Victim in four novellas tied cleverly together in one creative novel. Join LaDonna and Jolene as they dig in and contemplate the relationships and roles in each separate tale - Water, Earth, Fire and Air. They agree that the book should contain a trigger warning... you might want to listen to the episode first, then visit your local bookstore and get yourself a copy!

LaDonna and Jolene have a love/hate relationship with the "Oprah Book Club" selections. John of John is on Oprah's list! Do they agree with her this time? Join them on Just Plane Books as they compare their opinions of this story set in a remote island village in Scotland. John and Cal, father and son, took them on quite a journey this week, and they invite you to join them for the discussion. Thanks for listening!
