A Novel Adaptation7 Mars 2022

61 - Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen

Join us as we discuss some heavy topics in a pretty light hearted way with this adaptation. We love to see all the sisterhood these women experience and that's why we were glad to have on Melissa from the Mimosa Sisterhood Podcast as our guest! Let's talk about mental illnesses, the bonds we make with each other, and whether or not it's worth staying true to the source material.
