talk lit, get hit

welcome to talk lit, get hit - a podcast where we read questionable books recommended to us by social media and talk shit about them. we’re Bridget, Eryn and Laura, three friends who haven’t mentally progressed since high school where we bonded over a love of music and books - but mainly Twilight. brace yourself for a heady cocktail of somewhat highbrow and incredibly lowbrow ramblings about all the books the internet loves and our journey to figure out why.
