Arika and Marissa are back with their 10th book club pick, and this one takes a wild turn. They’re diving into The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager, a thriller that starts with mysterious neighbors and ends somewhere you absolutely won’t expect. As always, they break down the plot, give their honest opinions, and unpack all the twists, red herrings, and genre-bending moments along the way.

They also tackle some of the bigger questions raised in the book: When should you intervene in someone else’s life? Can you trust a narrator who’s always drinking? And how much is too much when it comes to plot twists? Plus, they share their dream casting picks for the movie version (including some very specific takes), and reflect on the character arcs, supernatural shifts, and the final reveal.
