📖 Welcome back to Zillennials Podcast Book Club! This month Kaylee and Lian discuss Paul Meridian by Gracie Flahive, a novel set in an LGBTQ+-friendly Florida retirement home as the state falls into the ocean. The story follows Hannah, who invites friends and two key guests—her longtime business partner Luke and her ex Sophie—to spend her final day with her before choosing to end her life due to a debilitating illness.

Kaylee and Lian unpack Luke’s betrayal and the melancholy ending. They debate Luke’s motivations, praise the novel for focusing on older characters’ stories, and discuss their reading experience.
