The Open Books Podcast
Phantom Limb by Lucinda Berry (when your twin dies and your life blows up)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we’re diving into the book Phantom Limb by Lucinda Berry, and buckle up…because this one hurt in the best way. By the way, LUCINDA BERRY herself chose this book for us to read!
Phantom Limb is a psychological thriller that explores grief, trauma, and the terrifying lengths the mind will go to survive unbearable loss. When Elizabeths twin sister dies, her entire life blows up. But is perception really reality in this plot?
We also get into Lucinda Berry’s signature style, the emotional manipulation (intentional and not), moments that shocked us, moments that broke our hearts, and whether this book crossed the line or walked it perfectly. As always, we share our honest reactions, theories, and final thoughts...and yes, there are moments where we had to pause and just sit with it.
If you love dark psychological thrillers that stay with you long after the last page, this episode is for you.
🎧 Listen now and let us know, did Phantom Limb mess you up too?
