Much to Rachel Louise's chagrin, this is not a book about hot chocolate, but it IS sexy, queer, chaotic, and full of animals, so honestly, what's not to love? Find out!!! Speculate about what kind of vegetable you are, see who you agree with about the climax (eyoooo) of the book, and afterwards, let us know what YOU think the meaning of the bees was. Above all, strap on for a wild ride because Big Swiss by Jen Beagin is a rollercoaster.
As a heads up for our listeners, Big Swiss mentions and details a number of difficult topics including suicide and violence. As always, take care of yourselves and disengage at any time.

Book blurb: Greta lives with her friend Sabine in an ancient Dutch farmhouse in Hudson, New York. The house is unrenovated, uninsulated, and full of bees. Greta spends her days transcribing therapy sessions for a sex coach who calls himself Om. She becomes infatuated with his newest client, a repressed married woman she affectionately refers to as Big Swiss. One day, Greta recognizes Big Swiss’s voice in town and they quickly become enmeshed. While Big Swiss is unaware Greta has eavesdropped on her most intimate exchanges, Greta has never been more herself with anyone. Her attraction to Big Swiss overrides her guilt, and she’ll do anything to sustain the relationship…
