Listen "Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson"

Episode Synopsis

This episode was a toughie for our girls Ashley and Kaycee, but worth it for the important discussion on the poignant 1999 novel Speak. This is a reread that they couldn’t put down, filled with beautiful symbology and realistic portrayals of trauma. Topics of discussion also include Kaycee’s Hot Pop-Punk Boy Island, the best teachers we ever had, and the beauty of bathroom stall wall graffiti. Plus, Ashley goes off on an integrated math tangent.
Content Warning: Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson deals with topics of sexual assault, self-harm, and PTSD, all of which are discussed on this episode.
