My mom’s a midwife. I grew up coming out of my room in the morning to her watching GRAPHIC BIRTH VIDEOS on our TV. I have NEVER seen ANYTHING on TV even remotely like the incredibly accurate birth scene they showed on The Pitt. I texted my mom immediately.

In order to gather the people you love, sometimes you have to make a plan. Here's why a friendship retreat is the next trip you should plan. Words by @alannabennett.bsky.social. conversationalist.org/2022/08/31/t...

THE EDUCATION OF KIA GREER comes out two months from today ⚡️ pre-order wherever you buy books 📚 Photo via @getunderlined. I think Kia goes great with a matcha. www.getunderlined.com/books/739902...

If they don’t hire Alan Cumming to host the Emmys but with the same affects that he hosts The Traitors (over the top gothic costumes, dun-dun-dun voices, Lala perched nearby) then I fear the Television Academy does not care about any of us.

There’s no sentence the women on RHOSLC love more than a “what have you heard 👀”

I have such a visceral reaction to Dave from Love Is Blind. I hate that man. I hate the way that he talks the way that he

I’m in @TheCut today talkin Kylie J. I had to do SOMETHING with the literal years of research that went into THE EDUCATION OF KIA GREER. I hope you’ll give it a read (and the book a pre-order). www.thecut.com/article/life...

I am PEOPLE! people.com/linda-holmes...

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood should be played in gay bars just as much as Steel Magnolias is, fight me

For anyone seeking a smart, funny and self-consciously swoony new read I cannot recommend BACK AFTER THIS by @lindaholmes.bsky.social highly enough! bookshop.org/p/books/back...

If some ad exec isn’t plotting to put Gabby Windy and Jen Coolidge in a commercial together RIGHT NOW then what are they EVEN DOING

This is about as good a review as I’ve ever seen from a professional about how their occupation is covered. He doesn’t expect perfect realism, but he seems to think they got a whole lot right that’s important. www.vulture.com/article/is-t...

Do you run a book club? Are you a bookseller? Book scout? Would you like a digital galley of my debut novel THE EDUCATION OF KIA GREER, out May 13 via PRH and called "smart, fearless, romantic, and so very alive" by Casey McQuiston? HIT ME UP.
