Home is Where The Bodies Are Book Club

In this book club episode of Literature on the Rocks, Sunny, Rachel, and Rox head back into the twisted family drama of Home Is Where the Bodies Are by Jeneva Rose to unpack the questions that had us spiraling. If this story were real, what role would we actually play? The investigator digging for answers, the protector trying to keep everyone together, the panicker making everything worse, or the one smart enough to run? (Spoiler: we had opinions.) And because apparently we enjoy morally questionable hypotheticals, we also debate the ultimate loyalty test: if our husbands asked for help getting rid of a body… what would we actually do? Full spoilers, chaotic debates, and plenty of “absolutely not” moments. Grab a drink and join us. 🥂

Home is Where the Bodies Are Summary

In this summary episode of Literature on the Rocks, Sunny, Rachel, and Rox crack open Home Is Where the Bodies Are by Jeneva Rose — a twisty family thriller that proves some secrets should probably stay buried… literally. When siblings reunite to clean out their childhood home after their mother’s death, they uncover a VHS tape that sends everything they thought they knew about their family spiraling. What starts as a trip down memory lane quickly turns into a messy excavation of long-buried secrets, shifting loyalties, and the uncomfortable realization that maybe home isn’t always the safe place we remember. Sunny, Rachel, and Rox break down the story from start to finish, unpacking every twist, family dynamic, suspicious moment, and jaw-dropping reveal. Along the way, they talk sibling relationships, family baggage, and just how well you can ever really know the people you grew up with. And because every family secret pairs well with a cocktail, we’re sipping on our signature drink, Buried Spirits — inspired by the mystery, the mess, and everything unearthed along the way.
