Welcome to this week&#39;s episode of &#34;The Literary Lounge,&#34; where we dive into the world of books and explore their themes and ideas. Today, we are discussing The Writing Retreat by debut novelist Julia Bartz. In our conversation on The Writing Retreat, we recap the mysterious story about struggling writer, Alex, as she is accepted for an exclusive opportunity. Alex will get to meet her favorite author, Roza Vallo, and work on a new novel under her guidance. She will compete against four other talented female writers who are competing for the grand prize. While fighting a major bout of writer’s block, Alex becomes unhinged as her past comes back to haunt her. Things are not what they seem at Blackbriar Mansion and we are unpacking it all!   Tune in every Wednesday to hear honest perspectives on your favorite novels. Drinks in hand, we’ll see you in the Lounge!Instagram: @TheliteraryloungemnYoutube: @TheliteraryloungeTikTok: @Theliteraryloungemn
