Oooh, this is one of those Substack issues that I'm putting an asterisk next to in my email folder because it's choc full of such good stuff. When you said Sylvia's Second Act is for Golden Girls comfort watchers, I was IN! Everything else looks DELICIOUS, too. I'm so excited for Olivia's book and for yours as well...CONGRATS on filing your third draft! 👏

Love getting your recs! Cannot wait for Such a Bad Influence and Margo's Got Money Troubles. On that note, if you have not, definitely check out The Knockout Queen, an earlier Rufi Thorpe joint that also feels very singular and unlike anything else I've read! A five-star read imo.

Yes to Margo! Yes to the last line! I just read and loved "I Hope this Finds You Well". a terrifically complex narrator

Appreciate the note about Olivia’s book! I too am a scaredy cat and was nervous about a thriller! Already pre-ordered and can’t wait for June!
