I just got an email from the bookstore I ordered my copy from that it will be another 1-2 weeks. Which I suppose means there has been a huge demand and this is a very good thing for the author... but I'm dyyyyyinngggggg to get my hands on it!!
I’ve read Martyr! And it’s in my top 5 for 2024. I’m waiting on the others to become available at my library.
The two new releases that I read this year that I loved the most are Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck (Booker Prize winner) and People Collide by Isle McElroy (best sex scene). I think these are technically 2023.
Thanks for sharing this!! I'm just over halfway through Blue Sisters and am loving it though it's painful at times. I also was struck by the quotes about sisters vs. friends, and I haven't thought about her writing on light! Thanks for pointing that out! I can't wait to finish (though of course, I don't want it to end...).
Just finished Same As She Ever Was…. And it was so damn good!! If I’ll have to get this in the cue from our (massive bummer) closing soon institution of a local book seller (The Book. Table- in oak park here just outside of Chicago). If Blue Sisters is half as good as Same, it must amazing. Also if anyone has a favorite bookseller in/around Chicago, drop me a recommendation. Such a bummer. I loved the book table.
Wow wow wow....what an incredible review. And those passages you shared ❤️😍❤️. Officially adding this one to my list, thanks to you! My favorite 2024 book has been Sandwich by Catherine Newman. Agreed it has been a phenomenal year for books!!
You’ve convinced me! I read Cleopatra and Frankenstein a while ago, but remember loving it!
Yay! I just picked C + F up today. Can’t wait to read it. Lmk what you think of Blue Sisters!

Also Bonnie’s epilogue story 🥹😭

I haven’t read any of those! But Martyr! is definitely on my radar.
Adding to my to-read list! Always love your reflections.
Thank you Rebecca! That is the kindest thing one could say 🥹. If you read it, let me know what you think!
Vulnerability + women + addiction = buying it today. Thanks for doing the legwork.
YES SERENA. If you don't love it I will buy you a beer at AWP!
