Liz & Jerry

Today we discuss our book club pick 'The Pallbearer's Club' by Paul Tremblay.

Synopsis:
What if the coolest girl you've ever met decided to be your friend?

Art Barbara was so not cool. He was a seventeen-year-old high school loner in the late 1980s who listened to hair metal, had to wear a monstrous back-brace at night for his scoliosis, and started an extracurricular club for volunteer pallbearers at poorly attended funerals. But his new friend thought the Pallbearers Club was cool. And she brought along her Polaroid camera to take pictures of the corpses.

Honestly, that's just scratching the surface. Listen to Liz & Jerry debate what is cool, music, and Jerry's fear of the 'unreliable narrator'.
