    Ep. 17: Pictures of You Book Club

    In this episode of Two Pages Ahead, Faith and Madison are finally reunited after a whirlwind month of illness, travel, and back-to-back work events. The two long-distance besties catch up before diving into their April book club pick: Pictures of You by Emma Gray. They chat all about the book’s wild twists—from the amnesia plotline to the emotional unraveling of Evie's past—and talk through what made this one both heart-wrenching and hopeful. With its Australian setting, nonlinear timeline, and slow-build suspense, this story had them hooked (and occasionally confused, thank you audiobooks 😂). This one sparked big conversations around abusive relationships, gut instincts, and what it really means to get a second chance at life—and love. Plus, they wrap up with their Taylor Swift song picks for the book because, of course. Listeners are encouraged to share their thoughts on Pictures of You and get ready for May’s pick: Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson.
