It’s not every day you pick up a book about people having sex with a fish. But if you’re listening to this podcast you’ve probably read Melissa Broder's book The Pisces, and you’re probably here because, well, you need to talk about the fact that a woman had sex with a merman.
On this episode, Jessie is joined by her twin sister Clare and they have a lot of questions...
What do you do when you fall in love with a merman?
How many metaphors were there in this book and did we understand them all?
How do you actually have sex with a merman?
Why oh why did they have to kill the dog?
And should there have even been a merman in this storyline?
Let's find out...
